Emergency Services

Dispatch, coordination, and clear status for crews working under pressure — so your teams spend less time fighting their tools and more responding.

When every second counts, your crews need clear information and software that keeps working under pressure.

Software that holds up when it matters most

In a live incident, the last thing your crews should fight is their own software. We build systems that put the right information in front of them and hold up when the pressure is on. That means:

  • The critical details on screen straight away, not buried three taps down
  • A clean, simple view so people can act fast without second-guessing
  • Systems that keep working when the network drops out in the field
  • Tools for both the control room and the crew on the ground
  • Clear status and escalation, so everyone knows what is happening
  • A tidy fit with the systems and services you already run

Fixing the tools your crews rely on

You do not have to replace everything at once. We can improve the parts of your response operation that slow crews down or cause errors, one piece at a time. We work across:

  • Incident management systems
  • Dispatch and coordination tools
  • Operational dashboards
  • Reporting and compliance tools
  • Volunteer and workforce management

The systems behind crews and equipment

Both of these are pages you can read on their own. In a response operation the two questions are who is available now and whether the gear they need is serviceable.

How emergency services teams work with us

Every one of them starts with a Rapid Insight Workshop: a paid session that maps your operation and hands back a prioritised roadmap. What you do next depends on what it finds.

Apex

We stay embedded and work through the roadmap with you month after month, from the control room through to the field. One monthly fee, measured against results we agree at the start. From $15K a month, six-month minimum term.

Amplify

One build, scoped in writing before anything starts, then quoted at a fixed price against that scope. A one-year warranty, and the code and the IP are yours. Typically $100K and up.

Ignite

Test one workflow with one crew before it goes service-wide. Fixed price, $25K to $50K, and working software in four to eight weeks — enough to test it with real users before you spend more.

Between your dispatch system, your mapping and your rostering

An emergency service already runs on serious systems that were never designed to meet: a computer-aided dispatch platform from Motorola or Hexagon, ArcGIS carrying the mapping and the assets, a rostering tool like Humanforce or Deputy holding who is available, and AIIMS structuring how the incident is actually run. The gaps between them are where the delay lives — an incident logged twice, availability that is a phone call rather than a field, and a control room and a crew looking at different pictures.

CodeFish builds across those gaps: reading incident, mapping and availability data into one operational view, giving the crew on the ground the same picture as the room, and capturing the record as the response happens so the debrief and the reporting are not reconstructed afterwards. We build the software layer, not the radio network or the device.

Questions emergency services teams ask us

With a Rapid Insight Workshop. It maps how a response actually runs across your systems: where information is relayed verbally or re-entered by hand, where visibility is lost between the control room and the field, and which fix returns the most. You get a prioritised roadmap back before committing to a build. From there you either test one idea first (Ignite), build one thing at a fixed price and own it outright (Amplify), or keep us on to work through the roadmap with you month after month (Apex). We will tell you honestly which one fits.

Yes, and for emergency services we treat it as the default rather than the exception. Responders capture and read critical information on the device, connectivity status is always visible so nobody is trusting stale data without knowing it, and everything syncs when signal returns. A system that only works with full bars is not dependable.

Yes, and control room and portable solutions are designed as one system rather than two products. In the field the priority is quick access to critical information and minimal cognitive load, because someone responding to a threat has no attention to spare for an interface. Incident reporting is kept frictionless so it actually gets done.

Yes, and it is usually the core of the work. Incident management, dispatch and coordination, operational dashboards and reporting tend to sit in separate platforms, so the same incident gets logged more than once and nobody has the full picture. We connect them so status and escalation are consistent everywhere.

Yes. Volunteer and workforce management is one of the systems we build, and it carries requirements paid workforces do not: fluctuating availability, qualification and currency tracking, and callout processes that have to work on someone's phone at 3am. Coordination is only as good as the availability data behind it.

Yes, methodically. Thorough technical and user testing happens before anything is deployed, and we ship in stages so the existing system stays available until the replacement is proven. For a service that cannot go down, a staged cutover is the only responsible approach.

Yes, and it is usually the core of the work. Dispatch, mapping and workforce availability sit in separate platforms that each do their own job well, so the same incident gets logged more than once and nobody holds the whole picture. We connect them so status, location and escalation read the same everywhere, and your crews stop relaying by voice what a system already knows.

Yes. We build around how your service already runs an incident rather than imposing a model on it. AIIMS roles, escalation points and the record-keeping obligations that follow shape the data model and the permissions, so the evidence is captured as the response happens and the post-incident report is already there when it is needed.
