TracPlus Launches FireFlyte to Transform Aerial Firefighting Operations

Next-Generation SaaS Solution Delivers Real-Time Insights, Enhances Safety, and Optimizes Resource Management

LOS ANGELES, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TracPlus, the leading provider of mission-critical intelligence for aerial firefighting operations, today announced the launch of FireFlyte, a next-generation SaaS platform designed to provide real-time intelligence for more efficient, safer, and effective aerial firefighting operations. With agencies facing outdated systems and increasing wildfire risks, FireFlyte delivers the data and coordination tools to optimize response efforts and resource management.

"With wildfire seasons becoming extended and more severe, firefighting agencies need real-time intelligence to improve coordination, enhance safety, and optimize resource management," said Todd O'Hara, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at TracPlus. "At TracPlus, we work closely with the world's leading agencies and operators to truly understand their key challenges and how we can help solve them. By transforming their operational data into actionable insights, we enable teams to respond more effectively and safely, unlocking better mission outcomes for their teams and the communities they serve."

As legacy systems reach end-of-life, agencies struggle with limited visibility, manual processes, and data silos. FireFlyte eliminates these challenges with a secure, cloud-based platform that provides real-time coordination and insights across all assets, teams, and operations. Unlike costly, custom-built solutions that take years to develop, FireFlyte is a ready-to-use platform deployable within weeks, reducing costs and eliminating maintenance burdens. Leveraging TracPlus' extensive expertise with over 880 million position reports and 10 million flight hours of data, FireFlyte provides situational awareness and control in high-risk environments.

FireFlyte's four modules of operational excellence include:

• Aerial Fire – Tracks fill rates, drop counts, volumes, and mission performance to simplify compliance, enhance accountability, and improve resource management.
  
  
• Operations – Maximizes efficiency with real-time flight monitoring, engine cycle tracking, automated daily summaries, and fleet performance insights, allowing agencies to identify inefficiencies and optimize fleet utilization.
  
  
• Safety & Risk Management – Enhances risk mitigation through real-time SOP deviation alerts, ADS-B integration, and 3D terrain analysis. Agencies can track safety trends, refine protocols, and improve pilot training to prevent incidents before they escalate.
  
  
• Finance – Provides accurate cost tracking, downtime monitoring, and financial insights to streamline budgeting, ensure proper cost recovery, and improve overall operational efficiency.

The highly customizable FireFlyte platform is designed to meet the unique challenges of aerial firefighting agencies and operators, allowing them to tailor it for maximum impact and better outcomes. As a hardware-agnostic solution, it integrates with existing tracking systems, APIs, and real-time data feeds without costly system replacements. Backed by a proven implementation methodology, FireFlyte can be deployed across an entire agency's operations in less than four months.

"FireFlyte enhances interagency collaboration, allowing multiple teams and organizations to share critical insights, coordinate response efforts, and improve overall firefighting effectiveness. This level of cross-agency communication and intelligence-sharing ensures that responders can act with greater precision and speed, reducing the risks associated with delayed or incomplete information," added O'Hara. "With FireFlyte, aerial firefighting teams can work with greater speed, precision, and confidence, ensuring they have the mission-critical intelligence they need, when and where they need it most."
