Saving Lives
During the Royal Navy Winter Ski Championships there were several injuries reported,, however the most significant involved a Royal Marine, a competent skier, out with friends who suffered a serious injury with internal bleeding. Our system was used and thanks to its automated incident position via the mobile app, the location of the casualty was precise and immediate.
Saving Time
Our system eradicated the need for an often 45 minute average search time, allowing for a casualty to be extricated safely and evacuated by helicopter to the nearest hospital. When you're seriously injured, every second counts.
Saving Money
The efficiency of the system is beneficial financially. Cutting search times down means helicopters or other emergency vehicles aren’t in use for as long. Productivity is also dramatically improved as fewer staff are needed policing areas where incidents may occur.

“With the high-volume of attendees and risk to injury from the nature of the sport, the Zims system gave me peace of mind when dealing with the safety and management of the event. Entering incident information made it easier for us to follow-up with our MoD mandatory requirements and simple things like Daily News and event program changes were also used by us within the Zims app. Having the ability to produce a report of the event will also come in handy for incident statistics and checking our current Risk Management plan to propose any future changes.”
