Tickets CAD is free open-source computer-aided dispatch (CAD) software designed to support community emergency services. The software is available alone or with its dependencies in a Windows installer package called "Ticket2Go."

Product history

Tickets CAD is produced as part of The Open ISES (Open Information Systems for Emergency Services) Project. This beginning of the project start in July 2005, when paramedic and programmer Robert Austin was contacted by volunteer developer Arnold Shore about the lack of open-source computer-aided dispatch (CAD) software and the need for it.[1] This inevitably led to the creation of The Open ISES Project on SourceForge on August 2, 2005[2] "to help provide emergency service agencies with the software, materials and expertise they need to do their jobs."[1]

It's not clear when the first public open-source release of the project's CAD program "Tickets" was released to SourceForge. The earliest known release of Tickets is version 2.4 Beta on November 1, 2007.[3] By early 2010, Robert Austin estimated 10,000 downloads of Tickets since its initial release.[4]

In the fall of 2012, a new application "Tickets MDB" (Tickets Members DataBase) was announced[5][6], designed to aid organizations that need "to register member details and also has the additional need to store member training records, abilities, equipment, vehicles and clothing."[7]

Sometime in late 2018, the ticketscad.org website got shut down. However, the SourceForge repository is still active as of June 2019. At some point afterwards, a new ticketscad.net site appeared.
