Event medicine needs its own dispatch tools.
Event operations are temporary and often occur in a small footprint. The daily realities differ from traditional municipal EMS dispatch.
Non-Transport Operations
Optimized for non-vehicle and post-based event medical response rather than traditional ambulance-oriented dispatch.
Mixed Staffing Models
Supports flexible role assignments and user permissions for diverse and multi-tiered operational teams.
Distributed Supervision
Provides mobile incident management for roaming field supervisors operating outside a central dispatch desk.
Core Features
CrowdCAD provides tools for event dispatch, field supervision, and configuration management.
Unified Dashboard
View active incidents, team locations and statuses, and clinic capacities in a single interface.
Incident Management
Create incidents, assign personnel, and track status updates using a minimal UI and keyboard shortcuts.
Mobile Support
The responsive design allows field supervisors to view and update dispatch data from mobile devices.
Reusable Configurations
Save and load venue templates to reduce time spent configuring events at repeat venues and recurring events.
Lite Mode
Run a basic version of the app entirely in the browser, without needing to provision backend infrastructure.
Organization-Based Hosting
Deploy on your own servers to maintain full control over your environment and data.
Use Cases
CrowdCAD is built to support a wide range of event medical operations. The interface supports a range of scenarios from a few teams covering an amphitheater to packed stadiums and music festivals.
Collegiate EMS
Campus standby operations, recurring venues, student staffing, and dispatch workflows designed based on university events.

Organizations coordinating medical standby inside venues with multiple teams, posts, or field units, from single-stage setups to large multi-post deployments.
View detailsDispatch Workflow
The core dispatch interface supports live operations while preserving clarity across calls, teams, and venue context.
Real-time dispatch interface

Mobile dispatching
Support supervisors and leads working in the field with a responsive mobile experience.
Multiple dispatchers
Coordinate across more than one dispatcher without losing shared awareness of operations.
Custom venue maps
Map posts, staging areas, and incident context to the venue instead of a generic geography model.
Venue presets
Reuse configurations for recurring events to reduce setup time and improve consistency.
Auto posting
Schedule team posting updates with event timelines to support predictable shift transitions.
