About this app

Tailboard is station operations software built for the way fire and EMS departments actually work — fast, hands-busy, and with no time to waste on paperwork.
Apparatus checks, equipment inventory, maintenance logs, and shift management live in one place, designed so a crew member can complete a truck check in minutes instead of fighting a clipboard or a spreadsheet built for an office that doesn't look anything like a bay.
WHAT TAILBOARD DOES

Apparatus checks — Run daily, weekly, and monthly rig checks from your phone. Snap a photo and let Tailboard read gauges, compartments, and equipment so you confirm what's there instead of typing it all in.
Equipment & inventory tracking — Every tool, kit, and consumable is tracked down to the compartment. Know what's on the truck, what's expired, and what's missing before you roll, not after.
Maintenance logging — Capture issues the moment they're found. Out-of-service items, repairs, and follow-ups are logged, assigned, and trackable so nothing falls through the cracks between shifts.
Voice-driven reporting — Talk through what happened and let Tailboard turn it into a clean record. Built for crews who'd rather narrate than type.
Shift & station management — Keep your roster, assignments, and station tasks organized across every shift and every apparatus.

BUILT FOR DEPARTMENTS LIKE YOURS
Tailboard was designed with volunteer and combination departments in mind — the ones running real calls with limited time and limited budgets. It works on the phone in your pocket, not just a computer back at the station, and it's fast enough that crews will actually use it.
PRIVACY AND OWNERSHIP
Your department's data is your department's data. Tailboard is built by an independent company, not a private-equity roll-up, with a focus on doing right by the operators who depend on it.
GETTING STARTED
Tailboard works alongside the standards your department already follows. Set up your apparatus, build your check lists, and your crews can start running checks the same day.
Built by people who've worked the job, for the people still working it.
