About Bonita Springs Fire Department

Serving over 56,000 residents in southwest Florida, Bonita Springs Fire Department operates multiple stations and a fleet of emergency vehicles. As call volume and responsibilities grew, the department needed a smarter, more scalable way to manage medical supplies and equipment—both at the station and onboard their apparatus.

The Challenge

The department was stuck using time-consuming manual processes to manage inventory across locations. These challenges were slowing down operations and straining personnel:

Excessive time spent tracking and counting supplies
Overstocking of materials due to uncertainty
Difficulty identifying expired or misplaced items
Lack of real-time data on inventory levels

“Our teams were spending too much time managing supplies and not enough time doing what they do best—responding to emergencies.”
— Chief Richie Scott

The Solution

To modernize operations, Bonita Springs Fire implemented IntelliView, a real-time inventory and asset tracking platform that gave them full visibility and control over their supplies.

Key Capabilities Used:

✅ Smart Shelving & RFID Tracking for instant visibility

✅ Cloud-Based Dashboard for centralized inventory control

✅ Expiration Management to automate replenishment timelines

✅ Data-Driven Insights to right-size supply levels across locations

“We needed to get out of spreadsheets and into a real-time system. MedixSafe gave us the control we didn’t even realize we were missing.”
— Chief Richie Scott

The Results

Since implementing IntelliView, Bonita Springs Fire has seen powerful operational gains:

Time Efficiency
Inventory tasks that took hours now take minutes—freeing up crews and improving station readiness.
Cost Savings
Overstocking was eliminated and supply purchasing is now based on accurate, real-time needs.
Inventory Accuracy
Departments now have full confidence in what’s on hand, both in stations and in vehicles.

“We used to spend hours counting and re-checking. Now we know what we have in real time and can act immediately.”
