SceneDoc

SceneDoc developed a mobile-first, software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform tailored for the public safety sector, specifically for law enforcement agencies. The company was founded in 2011 by Alex Kottoor and Adrian Bubalo and was based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Before its acquisition, the company had raised approximately $6 million in funding from investors including iGan Partners, Motorola Solutions Venture Capital, and Responder Ventures.

The business centered on providing a digital evidence and field reporting tool that allowed officers to use standard smartphones and tablets to perform their duties. This addressed the growing trend of first responders using mobile devices in the field. The platform enabled officers to capture data, take electronic notes, and collect multimedia evidence like photos, videos, and audio, which could be securely stored and accessed from the cloud. Key features included voice-to-text dictation to keep officers aware of their surroundings, ID scanning, and real-time information uploading that allowed for immediate collaboration between officers in the field and command staff. This digital workflow was designed to create efficiencies, reduce administrative work, improve the quality of information, and enhance officer safety.

SceneDoc's business model was subscription-based, offering its platform as a cloud-based SaaS solution. This approach minimized implementation costs for law enforcement agencies and ensured they always had the latest version of the software. The company served a range of public safety clients, from municipal police departments to county emergency management. In December 2018, SceneDoc was acquired by Tyler Technologies, a major provider of information management solutions for the public sector. Following the acquisition, SceneDoc's team, including co-founders Alex Kottoor and Adrian Bubalo who joined as general managers, became part of Tyler's Public Safety Division to integrate the technology into Tyler's broader suite of public safety products.
