Dispatch CAD System Suggestion - Accepted

What you want to see? -  Dispatch CAD System

Why should we add it? -  Increase RP

What are the advantages of having this? – See Below

Who is it mainly for? Primarily dispatch, but later plans for all Government

Links to any content – See Below

A CAD system has been researched and planned for the Dispatch team for a significant amount of time. We’ve also tested out various web based systems as well, and we discovered that a web based system would be the most practical. This CAD system would allow for better tracking of the various government jobs, ensure that the proper units are assigned to the various calls throughout the server, and significantly increase RP for the dispatch branch. The initial plan is to develop and implement a CAD system for the Dispatch Branch first to prove that it works, and later start to roll it out to branches to better improve all RP across the server.
We have three proposed systems that we believe would be beneficial for our purposes. We would need to work with the developers to customize the system a bit more to work for our purposes, however we believe the end would be well worth the effort.

1. https://opencad.io/  
Pro:
-    Clean UI (did a dry run with this and it worked nicely)
-    Free
Con: 
-    Requires a website to host it on 

2. https://saucecad.com/mdt/login
Pros: 
-    Free
-    Simple UI
Cons: 
-    Ads are on the page and they are SKETCH (but can be paid to be removed)

3. Develop our own system
Pros:
-    Fetch DarkRP job table (either once a few minutes or with a button on the cad to reduce lag)
-    Grab the player names and jobs from the government team and send to website
-    Website makes table with jobs and splits PD and TAC
-    Ability for units to select their status (10-6, 10-8, etc)
-    Ability to select various incidents types
-    Panic button mode (single button, will automatically sets all units 10-07 with a status of 10-76 to panic)
-    Easy to code server addon
-    Custom to the community
Cons
-    Difficult to make the UI look visually pleasing
-    Will take significant work to create and develop the system
-    Website needs to be hosted on a Gaminglight web server
Why do we need to build our own?
With most CAD systems being built for other games, they are really heavily dependent on PD cooperation. If PD doesn’t use it, the whole system fails. However, with the automated system grabbing the job table it cuts out PD having to learn a new system and only dispatch will have to learn it.

Would be nice to try this out, though it would take a lot of time to set up and learn how to use/ deploy amongst the server. Interested to see how it would handle though!

A CAD would be amazing for dispatch. It would allow members to more properly dispatch players and know whats going on. I've used a CAD in an ARMA 3 community I ran and it worked out great. Only downside would be setting everything up and training people.

I agree that it will take time to train everyone and that is why I thought we could have a small server side script that auto populates the cad with everyone on the gov job so they do not have to join themselves. It keeps the learning curve down so only dispatchers need to know how to use it

When I helped run a FiveM RP we used sauce cad and which ran great.

The reason I am on the fence about this is because the CAD's you mentioned atleast I know sauce cad dose you need a Gmail or an email of any sort which some people don't have. 

I also have a  - support for sauce cad as if lets say the dispatchers login gets stolen they can change any PD units or TAC units info. 

+Support If a dispatcher was over ran a dispatcher who didn't want to get on job could quickly handle the certain situation there on and code 4 it or so on.

Another thing we could do would be let TAC use it first to see how it would function and  slowly spread it  to other departments
