- Visualise, Enrich & Expand – Bring the data of your investigation to life through advanced visualisation. Overlay key data sets onto interactive maps and create a master timeline of events.
- Intelligent Reporting – Run reports to drill down into key data sets. These include a suspect’s most visited locations, top contacts, hotspots, and sleep/wake analysis.
Case Management & Sharing

- Create & Collaborate – Create, view, collaborate on and share cases with colleagues, partners, and external organisations. Apply access and security controls.
- Cross-Case Analysis – Perform a cross-case bulk search on data held in all operational and closed cases, to determine if an entity has appeared before.
