Case Study: Florida Urban Search and Rescue – Task Force 4 achieves $200,000 in savings and full 5,000-asset tracking with Wasp Barcode Technologies

Florida Urban - Customer Case Study

Florida Urban Search and Rescue — Task Force 4 (FL‑TF4) is a 180‑member, 24/7 disaster response team that maintains more than 5,000 pieces of emergency equipment. The task force relied on manual paper logs that were often lost or damaged, leaving maintenance histories incomplete, increasing unnecessary spending and putting grant funding at risk due to poor recordkeeping.

FL‑TF4 implemented Wasp’s asset management software with asset tags and barcode scanning into a single database, simplifying check‑in/check‑out, maintenance tracking and reporting. The system streamlined grant reporting, extended asset life, eliminated location confusion and saved the task force about $200,000 while enabling quick proof‑of‑work for deployments.
