-
❌
Every bag and compartment is set up differently depending on who packed it last shift

❌
Older bags and stretchers aren't configured for today's call volume, bariatric patients, and complex scenes
-
❌
New hires and float medics waste time hunting for meds, IV supplies, or monitoring gear during high-stress calls
-
❌
No standard system to keep gear inspection-ready and compliant with local protocols and regulatory expectations
