Reporting Systems, Inc.

Reporting Systems, Inc. develops advanced records management solutions specifically for the fire and emergency medical services sectors, enhancing operational efficiency and data management to improve community response times. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Bellingham, US, Reporting Systems, Inc. focuses on providing software solutions for the fire and EMS sectors.

The company was acquired by ESO Solutions Inc. in June 2021 from Polaris Partners, with financial terms undisclosed. The CEO is David Nokes, and the founder is Dave Adams, who has a history of founding other companies. Emergency Reporting, now part of ESO, specializes in comprehensive records management solutions tailored for the fire and emergency medical services (EMS) sectors.

The company’s core offerings encompass a suite of software solutions designed to enhance operational efficiency and data management for first responders. These products allow agencies to efficiently record, report, and analyze incidents, thereby improving response times and service delivery within communities. The primary end users include fire departments, EMS agencies, and public safety organizations across various geographical markets including the United States, Canada, and select international territories. By integrating advanced analytics and reporting tools within their platforms, Emergency Reporting empowers clients to gain actionable insights, thereby enhancing performance across the public safety spectrum.

Emergency Reporting operates on a subscription-based revenue model, providing its clients with access to its suite of software solutions through annual or monthly plans. Clients, primarily composed of municipal fire and EMS agencies, engage in direct transactions for software licensing, which may include a variety of features tailored to their specific operational needs. These transactions often involve customizable packages that allow clients to select services based on their requirements, ensuring they pay only for the functionalities they utilize. The company’s flagship products are designed to streamline reporting processes and improve data accessibility, which are critical for maintaining compliance and enhancing operational transparency.

This structure fosters long-term relationships with clients, as agencies renew their subscriptions annually to continue benefiting from regular updates and support services. In June 2021, ESO Solutions Inc. , a portfolio company of Accel-KKR, Vista Equity Partners, and Austin Ventures, agreed to acquire Reporting Systems, Inc. This acquisition aims to enhance the offerings available to departments and agencies, providing a detailed incident and event picture that will assist key personnel in decision-making related to patient care, provider safety, operational efficiency, and clinical improvement.

Future growth strategies include the design and launch of new products tailored to meet specific needs of clients, and potential expansion into additional markets across the globe, although specific regions and dates have not been disclosed.
