TargetSolutions Quick Links: A Smarter, Faster Home Page Experience for Fire Departments

Fire departments rely on TargetSolutions as a central hub for training management, documentation, and communication to support compliance, accountability, and operational readiness. From daily training logs to critical policy documents and external systems, the platform plays a vital role in keeping personnel compliant, informed, and operationally ready.

As agencies grow more complex and training demands increase, how information is surfaced on the Home Page matters more than ever.

“Firefighters and training officers need to get to the right resources quickly, whether they are on a station computer or a mobile device in the field,” said Robbi King, a 25-year fire service veteran now serving as director of solutions engineers at Vector Solutions. “Training officers and administrators need tools that are easy to manage, flexible, and scalable without adding more work.”

Quick Links was built to meet those needs by removing friction from daily navigation and making high-value resources easily accessible.

This new feature introduces a cleaner, more intuitive way to showcase the most important resources directly on the TargetSolutions Home Page. By giving departments one-click access to high-value content through customizable tiles, Quick Links reduces friction, improves compliance, and strengthens overall platform adoption.

The Solution: Introducing Quick Links

Quick Links introduces a dedicated module designed specifically to streamline navigation on the TargetSolutions Home Page.

Quick Links creates a clear separation between how departments communicate and how personnel access resources. Administrators can organize high-use items into structured, mobile-optimized tiles that appear prominently on the Home Page.

With Quick Links, agencies can feature:

• Custom activities for daily or recurring training
• File Center resources such as SOPs, policies, and reference documents
• External links to systems used regularly by personnel

For example, a department might create a “Daily Operations” group with links for apparatus checks, incident reviews, and daily training logs, while another group houses “Policies and References” for SOPs and safety guidelines.

Each tile can be grouped, assigned an icon, and customized with background colors for at-a-glance recognition. The result is a Home Page that feels intentional, predictable, and aligned with real-world fire service workflows.

A Cleaner Home Page Through Purposeful Design

Quick Links works alongside the Bulletin Board to optimize navigation and communication.

The Bulletin Board remains the primary channel for announcements and detailed communication. Quick Links is purpose-built for fast, reliable access to commonly used resources.

By separating navigation from communication, departments gain two tools that each perform their role more effectively. The Home Page becomes easier to scan, less cluttered, and more consistent across shifts, stations, and devices.

For example, a department can post an announcement about a policy update on the Bulletin Board while using Quick Links to permanently house the policy document itself. Personnel no longer need to search through past announcements to find what they need.

Faster, More Intuitive Access on Any Device

One of the most immediate benefits of Quick Links is speed.

Frequently used activities and resources are grouped into scannable tiles that reduce search time and guesswork. Clear visual cues help personnel quickly identify the right option, even during short windows of availability.

Because Quick Links is fully mobile-responsive, the experience is just as effective on phones and tablets as it is on desktops. This is especially valuable for field use, off-site training, or officers reviewing documentation away from the station.

Fewer clicks mean faster action, whether that action is recording training, reviewing a document, or accessing an external system.

A Stronger Launchpad for Modern Fire Departments

Quick Links transforms the TargetSolutions Home Page into a streamlined, mobile-ready launchpad built for today’s fire service realities.

By simplifying navigation, reducing administrative burden, improving documentation accuracy, and driving stronger platform adoption, Quick Links helps ensure technology works for the fire service, not the other way around.

For departments looking to modernize training workflows and deliver a better experience for their personnel, Quick Links represents a meaningful step forward.
