Portable CAD — real dispatch, wherever you set up.

ctHelixCAD™ Portable is the same dispatch platform as our full ctHelixCAD — sized for security firms, command posts, special events, and smaller agencies that still need real dispatch software, not a spreadsheet.

Stand up dispatch in

A trailer. A venue. A spare office.

Portable is designed for operations that aren't tied to a fixed 911 center — but still need the same operational picture.

What Portable does

Real CAD, scaled to your operation.

Smaller doesn't mean less capable. Portable is the same software — just configured for operations that don't need a full 911 center.

Live unit board

Status, location, and assignments for every unit on duty — same as the full product.

Structured call intake

Guided intake for each call type. Don't lose details to free-text notes.

Geo-aware recommendations

Routing and unit suggestions that respect your operational area.

Event-mode setup

Spin up a temporary dispatch for a stadium, festival, or campus event. Tear it down when the event ends.

Command-post deployment

Designed for command posts and tactical operations centers — works from a trailer, an EOC, or a remote office.

Same security as full CAD

Encryption at rest, role-based access, and audit trails — Portable isn't a downgrade on security.

What it looks like in practice

What teams use Portable for.

Private security firm

A regional firm runs dispatch for 80 officers across multiple sites. Portable gives them a unified operational picture, plus a clean record of every call, dispatch, and response time for client reporting.

Special-event command post

A music festival sets up a command post in a trailer. Portable runs dispatch for security, medical, and ops teams for the duration of the event — and the records survive the teardown.

Smaller municipal agency

A small department doesn't need a full 911-grade installation, but is tired of running dispatch on radios and a paper logbook. Portable gives them real CAD without the overhead.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers ask before signing on.

How is Portable different from full ctHelixCAD?

It's the same software, configured for smaller and more flexible deployments. Same feature set, same security — just sized differently.

Can we use it for a one-time event?

Yes. Event-mode deployments are a core use case — set up for the event, run dispatch during it, archive the records afterward.

Can we scale up later?

Yes. If you start on Portable and grow into full 24/7 operations, you can move to the full ctHelixCAD without changing systems or losing data.

What about records and mobile?

Portable shares the same incident record as the rest of the ctHelixOne platform. When ctHelixRMS and ctHelixMobile launch, your Portable deployment can use them too.
