Why Us
Built for modern fire departments that are done with outdated scheduling software.
PlatoonAware is fire department scheduling software that is easier to use, faster to launch, and built to grow with your department. Explore the reasons teams choose it.
Department-Specific Workspaces
Your department. Your workspace. Your rules.
PlatoonAware is not a generic scheduling template. Every department gets its own workspace configured around its shift structure, rank names, stations, apparatus, leave types, and staffing rules.
- Your own department workspace and URL
- Custom shift structures, platoons, and rotations
- Rank labels, station names, and apparatus setup that match your department
- Leave types, pay codes, and OT rules configured your way
- Only the modules your department actually needs
- Built to fit your operation instead of forcing workarounds
Isolated by design
Your roster, schedule, OT records, and operational data stay inside your workspace, not mixed into a one-size-fits-all system.
Fast to set up
Departments can get configured quickly without a huge implementation project or vendor dependency.
Built to expand
Start with scheduling and add more as your department grows into the platform.
Union Contract Support
Built around your collective agreement, not despite it.
PlatoonAware helps departments apply overtime and staffing rules consistently by building contract language into the platform instead of leaving it to spreadsheets, memory, or side conversations.
- OT tally tracking with member history
- Eligibility rules based on seniority, rank, and certification
- Pre-book and refusal logging with timestamps
- Callout queue logic that follows your agreement
- Audit-ready records when a decision gets questioned
- Union-friendly workflows without manual cleanup after the fact
Configured to your CBA
The platform adapts to your local rules instead of forcing your department into generic OT logic.
Consistent across platoons
Every officer works from the same callout logic, which cuts down on fairness arguments and confusion.
Ready when challenged
When someone questions an overtime decision, the record is already there.
Role-Based Access
The right access for every rank. No more, no less.
A firefighter should not see admin controls, and an admin should not be buried in member-only views. PlatoonAware keeps access clean, practical, and easy to manage.
- Member views for personal schedule, leave, and records
- Officer views for staffing, scheduling, and OT workflows
- Admin controls for department setup, rosters, and reporting
- Module-level permissions when only certain roles need access
- View-only access for members who just need schedule visibility
- Safer handling of sensitive operational and workforce data
Invite-based setup
Members come in with the right access from day one instead of relying on messy permission cleanup.
No IT headache
Role-based access stays powerful without becoming a complicated enterprise permission project.
Works at any size
Small departments get control without complexity, and larger departments still get the structure they need.
Full Audit History
When someone asks what happened, you have the answer.
PlatoonAware logs the changes, decisions, and records departments need when there is an audit, grievance, dispute, or accountability review.
- Scheduling changes logged with timestamps and attribution
- OT callout history with outcomes and ordering
- Leave approvals and denials with records attached
- Drug count and accountability history
- Administrative and roster changes tracked over time
- Searchable history from day one of your workspace
Audit defence
When regulators or leadership ask for history, the platform gives you a record instead of a scramble.
Grievance support
Questions about who got called, skipped, or changed can be answered with actual records.
Clear accountability
The ambiguity disappears when the system shows who did what and when.
Canadian-Built
Built in Canada. For Canadian departments.
PlatoonAware was built with Canadian departments in mind from the start, not adapted later as a checkbox for a different market.
- Developed in Canada by CMN Ventures Inc.
- Built with Canadian privacy expectations in mind
- Supports Canadian labour and collective agreement realities
- No US-first assumptions baked into core workflows
- Canadian support and product feedback loop
- Designed around Canadian department budget pressure
Built here
The product reflects the realities Canadian fire and EMS departments actually operate inside.
Privacy-aware
Data handling and workspace design reflect Canadian expectations, not imported defaults.
Closer to the customer
Feedback goes to the same team building the platform, not through layers of offshore support.
Continuously Updated
The platform keeps getting better as your department grows.
PlatoonAware is not a frozen product. It keeps improving with new workflows, stronger modules, and better operational support shaped by the departments using it.
- New features and improvements ship regularly
- Subscriber departments benefit as the platform grows
- No old-school paid upgrade cycle
- Roadmap shaped by real department feedback
- Bug fixes and performance improvements ship continuously
- A platform that grows with you instead of getting stale around you
Built on feedback
Real department workflows shape what gets built next.
No upgrade tax
Improvements show up as part of the platform, not as a separate version you have to buy into later.
Next-generation mindset
PlatoonAware is designed to keep moving forward while legacy platforms keep carrying old baggage.
