Software services that solve customer challenges
LPA's software services are tailored to the rescue service's needs in operational and administrative work and are developed in close collaboration with customers. An important advantage of the unique services is that they solve all regulatory challenges customers may face related to administration and planning within the rescue service. In addition, all necessary information is in place when needed and fewer manual actions are required.
In addition to basic functionality such as case management, personnel and finances, there are smart functions such as driving support, navigation, mobile reporting, checklists and templates.
LPA was founded in 1989 and has since its establishment developed their services in close collaboration with the rescue services and therefore possess expert knowledge in the field.
