Cell towers down. Power out across three counties. Thirty crews deployed and more mutual aid rolling in. Most software fails exactly when you need it most. Vector doesn't.
When cellular goes down, your OMS can't see who's where. Dispatch loses visibility exactly when coordination matters most.
Status updates, location check-ins, assignment changes — all competing for the same congested frequencies. Critical messages get lost in the noise.
Contract crews and mutual aid partners show up ready to work, but they can't see your ops picture and you can't see them. Precious hours lost getting everyone on the same page.
When digital tools fail, it's back to paper maps, whiteboards, and verbal updates. Your million-dollar systems become expensive paperweights.
Vector is built offline-first. Your crews sync with each other directly — device to device — even when cell towers are down and cloud services are unreachable.
Every crew's location, status, and current assignment — visible to dispatch and to each other — even in dead zones. Dispatchers can monitor everything from Vector's web interface at the command center, while field crews use the iOS app. Vector syncs peer-to-peer, so when one crew gets a signal, everyone's data flows through.
Push work orders, route updates, and priority changes directly to crews' devices. Status updates flow back automatically. Save the radio for what matters — emergency traffic and coordination calls.
Contract crews and mutual aid partners scan a QR code and they're in your ops picture immediately. No accounts to create, no training required, no IT involvement. They see what they need to see; you see where they are.
Vector isn't trying to replace your OMS or dispatch system. It's the field coordination layer that keeps crews connected when those systems can't reach them. With a web-based dispatch interface for the command center and an offline-capable iOS app for the field, Vector bridges the gap between your existing systems and the last mile.
