What started as a Stanford research project has evolved into my take on the family business, and I couldn’t be more fired up (pun intended).

"For me, firefighting is the family business"
My dad, late grandpa, and uncles are all career firefighters. Stationwise was born during my time at Stanford business school. I hoped to answer the question: “What is the future of US fire departments?” I traveled to conferences across the country. I asked Fire Chiefs what kept them up at night. For a surprising number, technology was the answer. Even departments with the latest equipment often rely on decades-old software. I founded Stationwise to build the best Silicon Valley tech for underserved public servants.
How it works
Custom staffing to meet your rules
Staff with your unique rules
We handle it all. Union rules, voluntary and mandatory overtime, shift trades, certifications, strike teams—you name it.
View labor spend in real-time
We monitor every labor dollar and hour for you. Get instant visibility into the 80-90% of your department’s budget that goes to payroll and benefits.
Keep your overtime budget on target
Track read receipts, resend as needed
Replace email and group text forever
One source of truth for department communications. Smart messages track when users have read or completed tasks.
Use on the go—for labor and management
Every feature is built for mobile. Our firefighter-proof design saves time (and headaches) for everyone from probie to Chief.
Ditch the forms (and the desk)
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE
Fire Chiefs choose Stationwise over tools they’ve used for decades. Why?
Real humans, real support
Constant access to your department’s unique rules and technology expert. When an admin chief retires, we’ll train their successor.
We integrate everything
Your software platform needs a foundation. Integrate with CAD, RMS, payroll, email, and anything else you need (at no extra cost).
“Set and forget” pricing
We price by battalion, not user. Never worry about new users (or stations) raising your rates again.
RATINGS & REVIEWS
First responder feedback
"Stationwise is 'firefighter proof'—the first tool I’ve seen that labor and management can both get excited about."
Union Vice President
Redwood City Fire Department
"I can already see how Stationwise will become even more foundational than Telestaff has been for us."
Deputy Chief
Alameda Fire Department
"I'm most impressed by the customer service. Marcus has a deep knowledge of the needs of the fire service. He never says we can't. Instead it's 'How can we solve the problem?"
