The CAD event contains the response location, but the dock mission cannot always use it.
Dispatch needs the fastest possible launch while program leaders need every mission tied back to the original incident record.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My dispatcher had the call open, then had to read coordinates over the radio because the map pin landed miles away.”
Eduardo Cruz · Dispatch Supervisor
Oversees dispatchers who must route eligible incidents into the docked response workflow.
What is at stake
Highway markers and facility coordinates are sending dock missions to the wrong place. You must weigh fast dispatch integration against preserving the incident record operators need to review.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- fast mission creation vs. source-record integrity
- broad CAD coverage vs. safe exception handling
- one-customer configuration vs. reusable integration pattern
Why Skydio
