OARS optimizes On-call availability

Fire and rescue services are the backbone of community safety, but today, they face significant challenges: recruitment struggles, retention crises, and ensuring On-call fire engine availability when it's needed most. What if there was a smarter way to tackle these issues?

In collaboration with re-enkindle, ORH has developed O-A-R-S On-call Availability, Recruitment and Skills software. Underpinned by four years of research, this SaaS is specifically designed to address the challenges of recruitment, retention, and On-call fire engine availability.

O-A-R-S is a cloud-based SaaS application, offering strategic leaders and managers easy, browser-based access to advanced analytics. 

Unlike availability rostering systems, this software doesn’t just track schedules – it analyses and models data to provide actionable insights for smarter decision-making about recruitment and availability.

With O-A-R-S, fire and rescue services across the world can continually monitor several crucial performance metrics from disparate data sources

Fire and rescue services in the UK are already using our software to guide recruitment strategies, workforce planning, and resource optimization – turning challenges into actionable solutions.

In the words of Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service's Deputy Chief Fire Officer and National Fire Chiefs Council On-call Strategic Lead, Steve Healey: “ORH's software enhances our understanding of On-call recruitment vulnerabilities, improves access to local diversity data, and helps maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of our On-Call firefighters."
