RunBoard gives your EMS agency or fire department the tools enterprise platforms charge $10,000/year for — completely free, self-hosted, and offline-first.
Small departments shouldn't have to choose between compliance and budget.
OperativeIQ, TraumaSoft, and ESO charge $5,000–$20,000/year. Volunteer departments and small agencies are priced out entirely.
Rural stations with spotty internet can't rely on cloud-only platforms. Your operations can't stop because the internet is down.
Narcotics logs, vehicle checks, and training records done on paper leave departments exposed during audits and accreditation reviews.
Proprietary platforms hold your operational history hostage. Switching costs are enormous.
Every module is a standalone Progressive Web App — works offline, installs on any device, no app store required.
No IT department required. No server setup required for basic use. Just open and go.
Every feature. No subscription. No compromises on what matters.
