Built for how you work today

Why teams switch to CritiCall Ops.

Some dispatch tools were built around push-to-talk radios and GPS dots on a map. Others need a sales call before they'll tell you the price. CritiCall Ops is a modern operational command platform — CAD console, MDT app, and the modules your shift actually needs, with honest UK pricing on the website.

UK control room using CritiCall Ops CAD dispatch console

Permanent control rooms from under £2 a day (£49/month) — full CAD, MDT, messaging, map, wallboard, and audit trail. Events from around £40 per event day (£199 for five dates). All modules included during the pilot. See pricing.

Where older dispatch suites fall short

Not every tool was designed for a shopping-centre desk, a festival medical tent, or a Travel Safe roster that runs 365 days a year. These are the gaps we kept hearing about — and what we built instead.

Radio-first portals

Voice and tracking, bolted on

  • Dispatch treated as an add-on to push-to-talk
  • Job assignment without a proper incident queue
  • Medical triage, handover, and wallboard need custom work

CritiCall Ops: CAD-first — live incident queue, resource columns, unified messaging timeline, and MDT on the same references as the desk.

Hardware estates

Proprietary handsets and contracts

  • Per-device licences and replacement cycles
  • Field teams tied to one vendor's radios or apps
  • Airtime and gateway hardware billed separately

CritiCall Ops: Software-first. Any modern browser on the desk; installable MDT on phones and tablets you already own. Your radios stay — we log traffic and message alongside them.

Opaque pricing

Call us for a quote

  • No published tiers for control rooms or events
  • Per-seat or per-handset maths that grows with headcount
  • Feature requests priced as bespoke development

CritiCall Ops: Prices on the website. Site licence from £49/month; event packs at around £40 per day. Pilot code PILOT halves setup on your first invoice.

Event-only mindset

Built for the weekend, not the desk

  • Strong on festival GPS and voice; thin on permanent ops
  • No monthly model for shopping centres or transport control rooms
  • Planning, fleet, and structured handover often missing

CritiCall Ops: Same platform for Glastonbury weekend and Tuesday's shopping-centre desk — planning templates, handover, fleet, forms, and documents on one tenant.

Always-on connectivity

Assumes the mast stays up

  • Field updates lost when signal drops on lower-ground floors or in muddy fields
  • Controllers reconstruct the shift from voice and texts
  • Resilience sold as an extra tier or not at all

CritiCall Ops: Low-bandwidth MDT mode queues status and messages locally, then syncs when you're back online — standard at every tier, not a bolt-on.

Compliance gap

Tracking without operational evidence

  • GPS dots and SOS buttons — little structured incident record
  • No audit trail for who assigned what during an evolving situation
  • Martyn's Law coordination left to spreadsheets and memory

CritiCall Ops: Full incident timeline, resource assignment, messaging log, and audit trail — the operational layer behind public protection procedures. See Martyn's Law guidance.

One platform, not five apps

Where older tools stop at voice, map pins, and basic job assignment, CritiCall Ops carries the whole shift — licenced per tenant so you only pay for what you use after the pilot.

CAD dispatch console

Incident queue, resource columns, AMPDS medical coding, and live communications log.

MDT responder app

Full-screen allocation, status controls, and speech requests — install from the browser.

Planning & handover

Operation templates, rostering, and structured shift handover — not a WhatsApp dump.

Fleet & assets

Vehicles, equipment, defects, and who signed kit out — in the same system as dispatch.

Medical module

Triage, crew assignment, and handover for event medics and standby cover.

Forms & documents

Build incident forms, store run sheets and site plans with version history.

Wallboard & map

Shared situational awareness for supervisors and multi-desk control rooms.

UK hosting & audit

Multi-tenant isolation, role-based access, daily backups, and GDPR-aligned handling.

UK-built. Operational tone. No per-seat fee creep.

Shaped by people who've worked control rooms and field shifts — not a radio vendor selling you another handset contract. Transparent tiers, full stack during pilot, and common tasks within three clicks.
