How Rampart Ops actually works

Learn more about the Rampart Ops modules, workflows, security, and what it means to be a beta agency.

Modules and capabilities

Rampart Ops is built around a set of operational modules for vehicles, medications, and equipment, plus central services for messaging and knowledge. This section explains what each module is meant to do in day-to-day use.

Pharmascept

Pharmascept helps agencies manage controlled medications at the drug box level. Crews record counts while supervisors see audit-ready histories that show who did what, when, and for which unit or storage location. Pharmascept automatically audits every count, every hour.

Quartermaster

Quartermaster tracks operational equipment and supplies. You can associate gear with users, vehicles, or external partners, define what must be present for a unit to be ready, and see when items are expiring, overdue for service, or repeatedly causing problems. Users can also request that equipment/supplies be issued to them, easing the normal paperwork process.

Hangar

Hangar focuses on vehicles and readiness. Daily checkoffs, odometer readings, and out-of-service reasons all live in one place, so you can quickly see which units are green, which are at risk, and what is holding them back. You can even configure Hangar to recommend the order that vehicles are utilized in order to set up a smooth, predictable preventive maintenance pipeline.

Maintainer

Maintainer turns issues into trackable work. When crews report a problem with a vehicle, facility, or piece of equipment, Maintainer creates tasks with owners, statuses, and resolution notes so nothing quietly disappears. When you're ready, you can combine those tasks into trackable work orders.

Transmit

Transmit is the messaging layer that ties Rampart Ops together. Modules use Transmit to send alerts and updates via multiple channels, including in-app notifications, emails, and text messages. Administrators define agency-wide defaults by notification type, users can fine tune their own preferences, and high-priority alerts can override individual settings when something truly cannot be missed.

Atlas

Atlas is the built-in knowledge base. It combines global Rampart Ops guidance with agency-specific articles and policies. Administrators can control which roles see which content so frontline clinicians, supervisors, and medical directors each have the references they need, right where they are doing the work.

Everyday workflows by role

Here are a few examples of how different roles might use Rampart Ops during a typical day or shift, using the modules you saw above.

Frontline clinician

  • Starts shift by opening Hangar for their assigned unit, running the vehicle and equipment checkoff built from Quartermaster lists.
  • Completes controlled medication counts in Pharmascept. The system audits the counts and records who performed them, when, and where.
  • Uses Maintainer to log any issues found and relies on Transmit notifications to see when problems have been resolved.

Logistics / Supply

  • Starts the day by reviewing Hangar and Quartermaster views to see which units are missing required items, have expiring supplies, or are trending toward out-of-service.
  • Uses Quartermaster to issue and track equipment and supplies to units, bags, or individual users, and creates or updates Maintainer tasks when repairs are needed.
  • Relies on Transmit alerts and simple reports to confirm that items have been replaced, serviced, or retired and that units are back to ready status.

QA / Medical Direction

  • Periodically reviews Pharmascept and Maintainer histories to see recent controlled medication variances, frequent issues, and how they were resolved.
  • Looks for patterns across units or shifts, using simple filters and views to spot repeated problems with specific medications, equipment, or processes.
  • Documents updated guidelines and focused education in Atlas and works with agency leadership to share changes through Transmit messages and brief trainings.

Implementation and rollout

Most agencies start small and grow into Rampart Ops over time. This is a typical path from first conversation to a live pilot and then a broader rollout.

  1. Step 1 · Discovery and planning

    We start with a short conversation about your agency, current procedures, and pain points. Together we choose one or two high‑value pilot workflows—often controlled medication counts, vehicle readiness checks, or critical equipment tracking—and outline how they work today.

  2. Step 2 · Configuration and pilot

    Next, we configure your organization, units, storage locations, roles, and initial modules. A small group of clinicians and leaders tests the pilot workflows in Rampart Ops while we fine tune forms, notifications, and permissions. We also prepare simple orientation materials for frontline staff.

  3. Step 3 · Expansion and refinement

    Once the pilot is running smoothly, you can expand to more units or workflows at your own pace. Early data from Rampart Ops helps you see patterns, adjust policies, and refine stocking or maintenance plans, while we continue to support you through the beta period.

Security, privacy, and technical details

Rampart Ops is designed for agencies that operate around the clock and cannot afford guesswork about where their data lives or who can see it. Below, we summarize how hosting, access control, and auditing are handled at a high level.

Hosting and architecture

  • Rampart Ops is delivered as a cloud-hosted web application, so crews and leaders can use it from the station, in the field, or at home on any device.
  • Data is stored in managed databases and storage services rather than on a single station computer. Traffic between users and the platform is encrypted in transit over HTTPS.
  • Regular automated backups and disaster-recovery practices are in place so operations data can be restored from recent points in time if needed.

Access control and auditing

  • Access is role-based, so agencies can define which crews, supervisors, logistics staff, medical directors, and administrators see or change specific information. Organization admins can create custom roles to cover any scenario within your department.
  • Core actions such as counts, checkoffs, adjustments, and status changes are recorded with who did what, when, and where, making it easier to answer tough questions after an incident or variance.
  • Your agency retains ownership of its data. Exports and summaries are available so you can archive operations history, share relevant information with partners, or move data into other systems if needed.

What it means to be a beta agency

During beta, Rampart Ops is fully usable for real operations, but the product is still being shaped by early agencies. This section explains what we ask from beta partners and what they receive in return.

What we ask of beta agencies

  • Commit to using a small set of agreed workflows in Rampart Ops for real counts, checkoffs, and operational updates.
  • Identify one or two internal points of contact who can collect feedback from crews and share it with us in a structured way.
  • Participate in occasional brief check-ins to review what is working well, what needs adjustment, and which improvements should be prioritized.

What beta agencies receive

  • Substantial beta pricing discounts (roughly 75%) and a price-lock window so your rate stays stable for at least 12 months, even if Rampart Ops exits the beta period during that time.
  • Direct access to the team building Rampart Ops (not just a generic support desk) for questions and implementation decisions.
  • Meaningful influence over roadmap and workflow design, with your needs and pain points helping to shape how the platform evolves.

Why Rampart Ops exists

Rampart Ops grew out of years spent running 911 calls, managing crews, and trying to keep vehicles, medications, and equipment aligned with nothing more than clipboards, spreadsheets, and siloed apps. It is built for EMS operations first, not retrofitted from a generic healthcare product.

In many agencies, the systems that support readiness have grown organically around whatever tools were available at the time. Policies live in binders, checklists on paper or online forms, and status updates in email threads or group texts. The result is that leaders carry an enormous mental load trying to answer simple questions like, “Which units are truly ready right now?” or “Who touched this drug box last?”

Rampart Ops exists to give EMS agencies a clearer, lighter way to manage that reality. The product is shaped around actual field workflows, with early agencies helping decide which problems to solve first and how the software should behave during a busy shift. The goal is not to add another system to babysit, but to make it easier for clinicians and leaders to keep their focus on patients and communities.
