Chris Memmott founded VaultRMS in May 2013 as a cloud-based technology platform for public safety agencies. Then and now, the company seeks to simplify the purchasing process for municipal governments without sacrificing the most up-to-date technology. The name 'Vault' was chosen to signify the superior level of security incorporated into every product.
Chris met co-founder Clive Savacool when he was presenting his training software to Clive, at the time an 18 year fire service veteran and Battalion Chief. The two started talking and Clive shared some ideas he had that could tie in with Chris’s product. After Clive retired from fire service due to a chronic lung condition, he and Chris reconnected. Bringing ideas for a daily log and simple way of exposure tracking, Clive joined the Vault team.
