Turbo Charge Your Interfaced CAD System

Manually updating personnel and equipment data in CAD systems for one or more agencies is labor intense. With our solution's centralizing efficiencies, your integrated CAD system will automatically receive roll call personnel, operational equipment, and scheduling data in real-time.

 

CAD will automatically remain synchronized with continuously changing resource data -- such as personnel that have acquired new certifications, changed radios or have pre-assigned vehicles.

 

There are no more delays, duplicate data rejections, or need to make personnel, vehicle, or radio updates. Instead your dispatchers can focus on the  job they were hired to do ... that of dispatching.
