Why PlatoonAware
Your department. Your workspace. Your rules.
Generic scheduling software treats every organization the same. A fire department is not a restaurant or a retail chain. PlatoonAware gives every department their own workspace — configured to how their department actually operates.
What Department-Specific Means
Configured to your department, not adapted from a generic template.
When a department signs up for PlatoonAware, they get an isolated workspace at their own URL. Everything inside that workspace — shift structures, rank labels, platoon names, leave categories, OT rules, module selections, station names, apparatus — is configured to match how their department actually runs. No pre-set templates forcing a workaround.
- Your own workspace URL (platoonaware.ca/your-department)
- Custom shift structures — platoon, 24-hour, Kelly, or custom rotation
- Rank labels and role names that match your department's structure
- Station and apparatus configuration
- Configurable leave types and pay codes
- OT eligibility rules built around your collective agreement
- Only the modules your department actually needs
- Custom domain support (manual setup available)
Why It Matters
Generic tools create workarounds. Workarounds create errors.
When a department runs on a tool that wasn't built for them, they adapt their processes to the tool. That means workarounds — a spreadsheet on the side, a group chat for the real decisions, a binder for the drug logs. Every workaround is a place where information can get lost, a grievance can get filed, or an audit can go wrong.
Isolated by design
Each department workspace is fully isolated. Your roster, your schedule, your OT history, and your operational records are yours — never shared with or visible to other departments on the platform.
Set up in an afternoon
Most departments complete their workspace configuration, roster import, and first shift cycle in under four hours. No implementation consultant. No six-week project. No vendor dependency.
Grows with your department
Start with scheduling. Add operations, training, or union tools when your department is ready. Modules can be added or removed as your subscription evolves. You only pay for what you use.
