Learn how you can get back to fighting fires, not staffing software

For decades, Battalion Chiefs staffed with pen and paper. The first generation of fire software brought digitization, but didn’t consider user experience. Accountability improved, but, as a result, Command Staff spent even more time behind desks managing staffing. To make matters worse, recent hacks and glitches revealed the at-risk nature of these critical software systems.

Founded by the son of a second generation fire captain, Stationwise was built to help Chiefs spend more time in the field and less behind a desk. Marcus Edwards founded Stationwise with Murat Aydos in 2022 after learning that 90% of the Chiefs interviewed considered “interoperability” a top concern. Even departments with the latest state-of-the-art equipment, they found, relied on decades-old software that required time-intensive workarounds just to put buts in seats. The solution was to build a company from zero, working with those who serve to develop tech that finally worked for them.

The core staffing solution launched in 2024 across CA, TX, IL and ID enables administrators to staff centrally out of an intuitive desktop control panel. The software not only simplifies the back-office workflows but also streamlines the end user experience. Users interact with Stationwise staffing through a native mobile application, which consolidates vital information from daily staff assignments to up-to-date accrual rates to department-wide messages.
