Portable by design
The entire system — application and database — fits on one host. Snapshot it. Move it. Ship it to another site. Your operational history travels with you.
Flagship module of the ctHelixOne™ Suite
Computer Aided Dispatch that travels.
ctHelixCAD™ is a full-featured, browser-based CAD that scales from event command posts to 24/7 dispatch centers. Public safety primary CAD, private security, event operations, backup CAD for resilience — same product, same self-host story. It runs in any modern browser, stores data in a single portable database file, and deploys on a laptop, a NUC, a VM, or a rack server — your call.
Why ctHelixCAD
Three things it does on purpose.
None of these is unique on its own. The combination is.
Reusable across events
Posts, rosters, incident types, CFS codes, numbering tokens — configure once, clone into every event. The fair, the marathon, the holiday market all share the same library.
Realtime where it counts
Socket-backed live updates across every dispatcher seat. The board you see is the board everyone else sees, with sub-second latency on the LAN.
“Set up in the morning. Run the event by lunch. Pack it up at night. Bring it back next month.”
What’s inside ctHelixCAD
Four capability clusters, four deeper dives.
Each cluster has its own page so your IT team, your ops team, and your security team can each go to the depth they need.
Features
Operational events, posts, rosters, incidents, triage, transport flow, configurable numbering, PDF reporting, and a fully audited operations log.
Mobile companion
PIN-based unit and supervisor apps that don’t need accounts. Issue a PIN at briefing, rotate it in seconds. Sessions slide while units are active.
Tech
The architecture, security primitives, and stack we deliberately chose — and why your security team will recognize every piece of it.
Deployments
How a fresh install lands, how production and demo run side by side, and how the demo resets between events without touching real data.
Part of the ctHelixOne™ Suite
One backbone. Records and mobile, next.
ctHelixCAD™ is the dispatch surface of a larger operations spine. The same backbone — same audit model, same self-host story, same data ownership — carries forward into the modules that follow.
In development
ctHelixRMS™
Records management on the same backbone. Incidents you dispatch today flow into structured records tomorrow — same audit trail, same data home.

ctHelixMobile™
The full field-mobile platform. The /m PIN-based companion that ships inside ctHelixCAD™ is the early surface; ctHelixMobile™ subsumes and extends it.
