CLIO

Critical incident and multi-agency operational management software

Dashboard images shown are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the current or final product interface.

Coordinate live incidents with a shared operational picture, structured decision logging and multi-agency visibility.

CLIO helps emergency services, public safety teams, and operational commanders manage fast-moving incidents in a secure environment built for real-time coordination and accountability.

Major incidents create operational complexity fast.

When a critical incident unfolds, information moves quickly and often unevenly. A bushfire crossing containment lines, a major crime scene, a transport incident, a mass-casualty event, or a public safety operation can all trigger complex, fast-moving responses involving multiple teams and decision-makers.

The challenge is not just gathering information. It is maintaining a shared operational picture, coordinating activity across command structures and recording critical decisions as events continue to evolve.

CLIO helps agencies centralise incident information, tasking, and decision-making in a single, secure operational environment, reducing duplication, communication gaps, and conflicting updates during active incidents.

  • Record key decisions, actions and tasking with full audit visibility
  • Support response planning, live operations and post-incident review
  • Deploy flexibly in secure cloud or controlled environments

Built for real-time incident coordination

When incidents are developing rapidly, operational teams need to make decisions quickly without losing visibility, structure or accountability. That balance can be difficult to maintain under pressure, especially when information is arriving from multiple sources.

That visibility becomes critical when large numbers of responders are involved. Incident commanders need confidence that key information is captured centrally rather than scattered across notebooks, calls, messages, and disconnected spreadsheets.

CLIO helps teams:

  • Capture incident activity in real time
  • Maintain a live operational picture
  • Coordinate multi-agency responses
  • Record key decisions and actions
  • Track operational tasking and accountability
  • Share information securely across teams

Support a wide range of emergency and public safety operations

Critical incident management is not limited to one sector. Agencies are managing increasingly complex operational risks linked to public safety, infrastructure, security and emergency response.

Different incidents create different pressures, but the need for coordinated decision-making, shared visibility, and reliable records remains constant.

Prepare before incidents occur

Successful responses often begin long before an incident occurs. CLIO supports operational preparedness by helping organisations create, structure and test response frameworks in advance.

That includes:

  • Incident response templates
  • Operational playbooks
  • Escalation procedures
  • Risk management workflows
  • Multi-agency coordination planning

When a serious incident occurs, teams should not be building response structures from scratch under pressure. Preparation supports faster decisions and more coordinated execution when it matters most.

Common operational environments include:

  • Law enforcement operations
  • Emergency services coordination
  • Disaster response management
  • Public order and major event planning
  • Transport and infrastructure incidents
  • Government crisis management
  • Utilities and critical asset protection
  • Security and intelligence operations

Maintain accountability after the incident ends

The operational response may eventually conclude, but scrutiny often continues long afterwards. Major incidents can trigger reviews, investigations, inquiries and legal processes that depend on accurate records of what happened and why decisions were made.

  • Internal reviews
  • Coronial investigations
  • Public inquiries
  • Regulatory examinations
  • Parliamentary scrutiny
  • Civil litigation processes

That means agencies need more than operational notes. They need defensible records that show how activity unfolded, who made which decisions and how the response was managed.

CLIO supports that through:

  • Detailed activity logs
  • Time-stamped decision records
  • Audit visibility
  • Operational tracking
  • Structured reporting capabilities

When questions arise weeks or months later, agencies need confidence that operational actions and decisions can be reviewed accurately and in context.

Flexible deployment for operational needs

Different agencies have different security, infrastructure and operational requirements. Some require tightly controlled environments with direct infrastructure management. Others need scalable cloud-based capabilities that support resilience and collaboration across locations.

CLIO supports options such as:

  • Secure cloud-based environments
  • Controlled access frameworks
  • Scalable operational environments
  • Support for resilient, multi-location collaboration

That flexibility allows agencies to align incident management capability with their governance, security and operational requirements.

Coordinate critical incidents with greater control and confidence

Critical incidents place enormous pressure on command teams, responders and partner agencies. Success depends on more than having information available. It depends on maintaining a shared understanding of the situation, coordinating action effectively and preserving a reliable record of what happened.

CLIO helps agencies manage those pressures through real-time coordination, shared situational awareness, structured decision logging and stronger post-incident accountability.

When agencies can coordinate with clarity during live events, they are in a stronger position to protect people, manage risk and improve operational outcomes.
