Everyday member workflows
Members come back for practical mobile tools: schedules, events, messaging, and shift trading.
Member-first firefighter union software
One platform for firefighter schedules, communication, and union operations.
Platoon starts with the tools members use every shift and every week: calendars, events, messaging, and shift trades. From there, unions and departments can add announcements, voting, documents, audience groups, and leadership workflows.
- Built for
- Firefighter unions and departments
- Member first
- Calendars, trades, events, messages
- Leadership ready
- Announcements, voting, docs, groups
Platform
Adoption starts with the member experience.
When members open Platoon for calendars, events, messages, and trades, union leaders gain a reliable channel for the broader work: communication, voting, documents, groups, and department-wide coordination.
Communication that reaches people
Once the app is part of the routine, announcements, polls, email, and SMS have a stronger home.
Leadership infrastructure
Union leaders can manage voting, documents, recommendations, audience groups, and admin work.
Two-sided value
Members use it first. Leadership builds on it.
For members
- Check firefighter schedules and union calendars from the same mobile app.
- Find upcoming events, messages, and shift trade activity without digging through threads.
- Stay connected to the union or department through tools they already have a reason to open.
For union leaders
- Send announcements by audience group, station, platoon, committee, or membership segment.
- Coordinate official votes, documents, recommendations, and member input.
- Use the leadership dashboard to manage communications and keep operational work visible.
