One product beats a portfolio when you only need one thing done.
Vector Solutions sells across education, industrial, government, and public safety — and sells the fire service a suite of separately licensed products. Rescue Hub sells one thing to one industry for $50 per staff member per year, every feature included. A 40-person department pays $2,000, and never sees a second line on the quote.

Vector Solutions is a multi-industry portfolio you assemble. Rescue Hub is one product with one price.
- One thing to buy. Vector sells the fire service several separately licensed products — the LMS, scheduling, Check It, Evaluations+, Guardian Tracking. Rescue Hub is one product, and the whole catalog is included.
- Published price. $50 per staff member per year, the same for everyone. A 40-person department pays $2,000. Vector is quoted by the product mix you license.
- Adding a capability later costs nothing. With a portfolio, each new capability is another product, another quote line, and another renewal date. With Rescue Hub it is already yours.
- Built, not acquired. Much of Vector’s public safety suite arrived through acquisition and was integrated afterward. Rescue Hub was built as one system, which is why the calendar, the task books, and the compliance reports know about each other.
- Choose Vector if you are standardizing many agencies on a single vendor across departments, or you need a large off-the-shelf course catalog.
Here’s exactly what you’d pay.
$50 per staff member, per year. You can do the math yourself, right now, without booking a call or waiting on a quote.
- Every feature included — task books, requirements, events, certifications, reporting, messaging.
- Free onboarding and data import. No implementation fee.
- No products to bolt on later. There is only one thing to buy.
- Your records are yours. Export everything, any time, in formats you can actually open.

What one focused product gets you
One product, not a portfolio
Vector’s public safety suite is several separately licensed products that talk to each other. Every capability you want is a decision, a quote line, and a renewal date. Rescue Hub is one thing at one price, and everything in it is already yours.
Built, not assembled
Much of what Vector sells the fire service arrived by acquisition and had to be stitched together afterward. Rescue Hub was built as one system for one job, which is why the training calendar, the task books, and the compliance reports actually know about each other.
Your industry isn’t one of twelve
Fire and EMS training is the entire roadmap — not a vertical competing for engineering time with education and industrial safety. When a WSRB or ISO reporting need comes up, it doesn’t queue behind another market’s release.
A price you can read
$50 per staff member per year, on the website, the same for everyone. No product mix to negotiate, no implementation fee, and no call required to find out whether you can afford it.
When Vector is the better fit
If you need a large off-the-shelf course catalog, early-intervention and conduct tracking, personnel scheduling, and equipment checks all from one vendor — or you’re standardizing several city departments on a single contract — that breadth is exactly what Vector is built to sell, and we can’t match it.
Rescue Hub is for departments who need fire and EMS training handled properly, want to know the price before the call, and would rather not buy four products to get one job done.
Rescue Hub vs. Vector Solutions, answered
- What is the difference between Vector Solutions and TargetSolutions?
- TargetSolutions is the fire service training brand Vector Solutions acquired; it is now sold as part of the Vector portfolio. If the system your department already uses is branded TargetSolutions, our TargetSolutions comparison is the more specific page. This page is about the broader portfolio and how buying from it differs from buying one product.
- What does Rescue Hub cost compared to Vector Solutions?
- Rescue Hub is $50 per staff member per year with every feature included — $750 for a 15-person department, $2,000 for 40, $7,500 for 150. Vector prices by quote and by the products you license, so your cost depends on how much of the suite you take.
- Do I have to license task books, scheduling, or evaluations separately with Rescue Hub?
- No. Digital task books, requirement tracking, certifications, events and attendance, classes and quizzes, SCORM, the document library, messaging, and reporting are all in the base price. There are no tiers, modules, or add-ons.
- Does Rescue Hub replace everything Vector sells a fire department?
- No, and we are direct about that. Rescue Hub does fire and EMS training. We are not a scheduling system, not a records management system, and we do not sell a thousand-hour off-the-shelf course catalog. If you need those from one vendor, Vector is a reasonable answer.
- How hard is it to move off Vector Solutions?
- Most departments are live on Rescue Hub in about a week. We import your training history, requirements, and certifications, and rebuild your task books for you at no cost. If you are still under contract, you can run Rescue Hub free until your term ends so there is no overlap to pay for.
- Who supports us after we buy?
- You get a same-day answer from someone who knows the fire service — 24 hours at the outside. Support is not a ticket queue spread across a dozen industries and product lines, because there is only one product.
