CMS Compass is the most robust central station monitoring dealer tool available.

Its flexibility and real-time navigation saves a tremendous amount of time for my support staff and technicians. The CMS Compass alarm buffer is displayed in our offices on large wall-mounted monitors. We use this tool to proactively locate accounts with trouble conditions, active alarms and dispatches.

The CMS Compass search tool is the most advanced of any central station. You can globally search with partial name, address, account number, phone number or contact data. In just seconds you are able to search your entire account database. From any device—desktop, tablet or phone—CMS Compass is an invaluable tool for my entire staff.
