TargetSolutions, the U.S. leader in online training and records manage-ment solutions for municipalities including Fire, EMS, Police and other public entities, has joined forces with Municipal Emergency Services to deliver the industry’s leading web-based platform to the Fire and EMS community. The agreement to work together was announced Tuesday, Feb. 22 during the Firehouse World conference in San Diego.
MES is the largest supplier of first responder equipment, including Globe Manufacturing personal protective equipment, Honeywell First Responder Products, Scott Air-Paks, and much more, for first responders in North America. The decision to include TargetSolutions to MES’ impressive lineup of products made total sense, said MES Vice President of Sales and Marketing John Skaryak.
“We chose to partner with TargetSolutions because it is the pioneer in web-based solutions,” Skaryak said. “We are confident TargetSolutions will provide the best solution for our EMS, Fire and First Responder customers.” MES, which has done business with more than 20,000 fire departments during its 11-year history, will undoubtedly increase TargetSolutions’ visibility with fire departments across the country.
“This is a great opportunity for us,” said TargetSolutions Vice President of Sales and Marketing Jon Kostyzak. “MES has coverage across the United States and this will take TargetSolutions’ exposure to a new level. We appreciate the confidence MES has in our ability to deliver this service to the market. MES knows we deliver operational efficiency and cost savings to our clients. There is a great synergy in our ability to provide a valuable service and MES’ ability to reach fire departments across the country.”
Skaryak said MES looked at the overall landscape of the online training and records management industry and determined TargetSolutions was the clear choice to distribute to its customers.
“We chose TargetSolutions because our philosophy is to promote the top brands,” Skaryak said. “It’s important to us that we only promote products that represent a clear value to our customers. TargetSolutions is a tremendous option for first responders who are looking to train, track and report with a web-based solution.”
