Fireboard GmbH

What Fireboard GmbH does

Fireboard GmbH, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Rodgau near Frankfurt, develops cloud-based command and control (Einsatzführung) software for German authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS), principally fire departments, rescue services, and civil protection units. The platform is a modular system covering all command levels A–D, delivered through the Fireboard Suite (stationary PC workstations for ELW command vehicles, FEZ command centers, and staff positions), the Fireboard Mobile App (iOS/Android tablets and smartphones for field documentation), and the Fireboard Portal (central configuration and account management). Notable technical features include USB-stick deployment that eliminates installation across Windows, Linux, and Macintosh, AES-256 per-account encryption, open data interfaces for automated alarm and status integration, and an incident library (Einsatzbibliothek) enriched by publisher content from ecomed Verlag. The technology stack is React Native with JavaScript/TypeScript for mobile, with supplementary Swift/Kotlin native development.

The company operates a multi-stream revenue model combining a free Grundsystem entry tier with annual subscriptions for add-on modules (Einsatzführung, Lagekarte, Kommunikation, Ausnahmezustand, Sanitätsdienst, Atemschutzüberwachung), one-time perpetual licenses, annual software rentals, recurring maintenance contracts, and professional services for training and consulting. SaaS contracts run 12-month terms with automatic renewal and a guaranteed 99.5% annual availability SLA. Go-to-market is sales-led with inside sales consultants, supplemented by external field sales, trade show presence at RETTmobil and INTERSCHUTZ, community ties to the Deutscher Feuerwehrverband (DFV), and a network of training partners. Fireboard employs approximately 15 core staff at Rodgau plus a 35-person team of trainers and presenters, and serves a fragmented base of German municipalities and volunteer fire departments (e.g., Landkreis Altmarkkreis Salzwedel, Freiwillige Feuerwehr Bühl, Freiwillige Feuerwehr Fulda), with an explicit DACH regional ambition covering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The firm is privately held and founder-managed, with no disclosed external investors or institutional backing.

Direct peers

• Hexagon Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial: Global provider of public-safety CAD, records, and command-and-control software (HxGN OnCall). Comparable to Fireboard as a competing software platform for incident command, situational awareness, and cross-agency coordination, though it serves a much broader geography and customer base.
• CentralSquare Technologies: Public-safety software vendor (formed from the merger of TriTech, Superion, Aptegy, and Zuercher) serving fire, EMS, and police agencies with CAD, records, and command software. Comparable to Fireboard in addressing fire-service incident command, though primarily in the North American municipal market.
• Eurofunk Kappacher: Austrian/German vendor specialized in BOS communication and command-center solutions for fire, rescue, and civil protection. Directly comparable to Fireboard in the DACH market because it addresses the same emergency-services customers with command-post, alerting, and situation-management software.
• Frequentis: Austrian-headquartered vendor of control-center and mission-critical communication solutions for emergency services, aviation, and public safety. Directly comparable to Fireboard because its public-safety portfolio (e.g., 3020 LifeX) covers BOS command, dispatch, and situational awareness workflows similar to Fireboard's Einsatzführung/Lagekarte modules.

Emerging players

• Carbyne: Cloud-native emergency-services collaboration platform providing real-time location, video, and data ingestion for 9-1-1/call-taking and first responders. Comparable to Fireboard as an emergency-response software vendor, but more focused on the call-taker/dispatcher side and on North American deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Motorola Solutions: Global incumbent in public-safety communications and software, with CommandCentral CAD/records and command-suite offerings. Comparable to Fireboard as a competing command-and-control platform for emergency services, but at much greater scale and with bundled hardware/services.
• NICE Systems (NICE Public Safety): Vendor of public-safety software (NICE Inform, NICE Elite) for emergency call handling, multimedia incident reconstruction, and command-center operations. Comparable to Fireboard for incident documentation and operational awareness in BOS environments, though it focuses more on call-handling and analytics.
• Atos: Global IT services and solutions provider with a public-safety and defense portfolio that includes command-and-control and emergency-response systems. Comparable to Fireboard at the product-function level, but Atos competes as a broad system integrator across many other verticals as well.
