We understand the importance of reliability and commitment. We’ve specifically developed Gartan so that it feeds information ahead of time and is 100% secure and confidential whilst using the Internet, Smart Phone App, Text Messaging and Email.”

  • Creates advance bookings for multiple volunteers.

Malachi continues,  “We believe the solutions we can deliver are unique and effective. We’re pleased to be in the US and would be delighted to show attendees what the system can do, all are welcome to drop by our Booth 1245 to view our demo or visit gartantech.com.  We’re excited about the opportunity to work with Fire Departments in the US and would welcome feedback on our product.”
