  • Online RME was created by Eric Evans and Ed North. Regulators who saw a need for a system that is tracking/reporting/user friendly
  • The fees are capped at $12/year/location. Most Cities are covering the cost on behalf the FSEs and/or pumpers
  • Online RME is Customer Driven Development – meaning they can cater it to meet your needs. From sorting, search-ability, task assigning, calendar, and more.
  • It uses a sequel database so there is no limit the number of entries or locations each user has
  • It is backed up constantly, so lost data is fairly easy to recover
  • New users sign-up through OnlineRME where they are assigned an ID. The new user gives their ID to the regulators to be given permission to add pumper reports into the system.
  • OnlineRME can track who made changes in a record.
  • Both the regulator and user can now upload photos and files in jpeg & pdf formats.
