Chain-of-custody, lab workflow, and court-ready reporting — automated. TraceVault replaces manual evidence tracking with an AI engine built from the ground up for crime labs and law enforcement.
Legacy LIMS were designed for spreadsheet-era workflows. TraceVault was designed for the age of large language models, purpose-built for how crime labs actually work.
TraceVault reads every custody event, lab result, and case note — then drafts a court-ready report. Analysts review in minutes, not hours. No templates, no copy-paste, no formatting marathons.
Ask "show me all firearms from Case 2024-0847" or "list evidence transferred in the last 30 days" and get precise results instantly. No query syntax. No filter gymnastics.
Every transfer, test, and correction is automatically woven into an unbroken custody narrative. Immutable, append-only, court-defensible. Defense attorneys find nothing to challenge.
Evidence arrives with handwritten forms. Technicians re-key every field into a database. One typo in a case number can compromise an entire prosecution.
Every time evidence changes hands, someone signs a form. Forms get lost. Signatures get challenged in court. Defense attorneys exploit every gap.
Analysts spend 40% of their time writing reports instead of analyzing evidence. Court-ready documentation takes hours per case, multiplied across thousands.
Structured intake forms with photo upload, barcode scan, and type classification. Every item logged with provenance on arrival.
Append-only event log for every transfer and action. No overwrites. No gaps. Every entry timestamped and attributed.
AI drafts case reports from custody records and lab notes. Analyst review workflow with draft, approve, and reject states.
Full visibility into active sessions, login activity, org health, and security alerts. Corrections tool for audit-safe amendments.
Fully responsive interface. Field officers and lab technicians can log transfers from any device without a dedicated terminal.
Every agency is a separate tenant with hard data isolation. No cross-org data leakage. Designed for multi-agency deployments.
Real-time alerts for custody transfers, report status changes, corrections, and failed login attempts. In-app and email.
Admin corrections create new log entries referencing the original — never overwriting. Full correction attribution and audit trail.

Legacy platforms were built before modern AI existed. Their "AI" features are keyword search and scheduled reports rebranded. TraceVault uses the same LLM technology as GPT-4 — but trained on forensic workflows and court standards.
