Double Technology helps Safety Programs

A Safety Management System (SMS) is not the software tool.  Your organization can do the elements of SMS without having a specific software program.  SMS software technology like VOCUS helps to facilitate the safety program in a way that simplifies the effort by your team, enhances the management visibility into issues to focus on and resolve, and as a result, yields a safer operation by enabling a more proactive and responsive safety posture within the culture.

Let’s start with accessing the SMS software system.  VOCUS utilizes mobile app and web technology so that no matter who you are on the flight line, the device you have exposure to is not the limiting factor to getting safety information for your job.  Using a phone, tablet, or a computer enables everyone to engage with the safety program from anywhere, anytime, with any device.  

Secondly, the ability for line personnel to easily submit reports, find the latest version of policies and procedures, access their training, participate in audits or use checklists, and evaluate their automated risk assessments before flying or working puts the safety needs of your team right at their fingertips.

Integrations are the next element of enablement.  VOCUS integrates with 8 scheduling systems, 3 flight planning systems, 1 fatigue risk management system, and 2 FOQA/FDM providers as well as ASAP/ASIAS integration.  By leveraging api’s, technology investments across your enterprise can pass information between one another so that everyone is getting the critical information they need, where they need it, when they need it, in the system they need it in.  

When the SMS software system is simple, meaningful, and seamless, it quickly becomes considerably more useful and effective for the line personnel and management alike.  Incorporating technology like VOCUS transforms a Safety Program from ‘something else to do’ to ‘something engrained in all that we do’.
