Rescue Water Craft Team


On the Central Coast of NSW a day at the beach in the summer is not a day out - it is the norm. Families, surfers, swimmers and dog walkers all treat the beach as and extension to their back yard.

How would you like to be the person that has volunteered to coordinate the surf patrols and especially the RWC's across all the beaches on the Central Coast?

That man is Brett Beswick and in 2008/2009 he used the vTeam software solution to communicate with his team of 50 RWC Operators. He mainly used the team sms broadcasts system to send in excess of 1,500 sms messages and added 12 events on to the Event Calendar. Some members of the team have commented:

I would like to thank Brett for a great job this season; I don't know how he does it.

An example of team sms messages will give you some kind of reminder on how hard this would be without the vTeam software solution.
