Vantage Connect.
Integration under force control.
Vantage Connect is the integration layer between Trace Vantage and the systems the force already runs. It reads from authoritative sources and writes back through controlled exports, always under credentials the force issues and least-privilege scopes the force approves. Every record that crosses the boundary carries its provenance, and every synchronisation is audited.
Connectors are configuration that depends on the force's own systems, versions and access policies. Each is scoped and enabled during implementation; nothing connects until the force authorises it.
Between Trace Vantage and your systems, under least privilege.
Force-controlled credentials
Connectors authenticate with credentials the force issues and can rotate or revoke. Trace Intel holds no standing access to source systems.
Least privilege by default
Each connector is scoped to the minimum records and fields its task requires, read-only wherever a write is not needed.
A boundary, not a merge
Vantage Connect brokers exchanges between systems that remain under their own owners' control. It does not centralise or replace source data.
Enabled on authorisation
A connector moves no data until the force approves its scope, credentials and direction of flow.
The systems Vantage Connect can link to.
Trace Vantage treats force systems as the authoritative record. Vantage Connect reads from them so investigators work against current data, and writes back only through controlled, audited exports. Availability of any connector depends on the customer's systems and versions.
Police RMS & command systems
Records management, crime and custody systems as the authoritative source for occurrences, nominals and case references.
Available integration
Intelligence systems
Intelligence databases and submission systems for graded intelligence, sanitised for handling code on import.
Available integration
Evidence & property systems
Digital evidence stores and property management systems, linked with hashes and chain-of-custody references preserved.
Available integration
Identity providers
Force directory and single sign-on so access to Trace Vantage follows the force's own identity, roles and revocation.
Available integration
Provider returns
Communications-data and financial provider returns ingested into one timeline with their source and request reference retained.
Available integration
Structured data & files
Approved structured exports and file drops for systems without a live interface, imported through a governed pipeline.
Available integration
Each connector is a configuration item scoped to a named system, credential set and data flow. There are no blanket connections; a system is reachable only once its connector is configured and authorised.
APIs, import and export, both directions.
Vantage Connect exchanges data through documented APIs and governed import and export pipelines. Inbound flows bring authoritative records into the investigation; outbound flows return worked product, exhibits and disclosure material to force systems of record. Both directions run under the same credential, scope and audit controls.
Inbound APIs
Read authoritative records from source systems on schedule or on demand, within the connector's approved scope.
Outbound exports
Return case product, evidence references and disclosure schedules to force systems through controlled, audited exports.
Import pipelines
Structured files and provider returns pass through validation, deduplication and provenance capture before use.
Field mapping
Source fields map to platform records during implementation, so imported data keeps its meaning and origin.
The rules every connector follows.
Force-controlled credentials, least privilege
Every connector authenticates with force-issued credentials scoped to the minimum access it needs. The force can rotate or revoke at any time; the vendor holds no standing route into source systems.
Provenance travels with the data
Imported and exported records carry their source system, request reference and timestamps, so the origin of any item in the investigation, and of anything sent back, is recorded rather than assumed.
Audit on both directions
Every read, import and export is written to the tamper-evident audit trail: what moved, from where to where, under whose authority, and when.
Sync failures are surfaced, not silent
Connectors report their synchronisation status. When a source is unreachable, a credential expires or a record is rejected, the failure is shown to operators and logged, never quietly dropped.
Source systems stay authoritative
Vantage Connect reads from and writes to systems of record without overriding them. The force's own systems remain the master, and integration keeps Trace Vantage aligned to them.
When something breaks, you are told.
A silent integration failure is a data-integrity failure. Vantage Connect is built so that operators can see the state of every connection and trust that missing data is reported, not hidden.
Visible sync status
Each connector shows when it last ran, whether it succeeded and what it moved, so gaps are visible before they reach an investigator's conclusion.
Recorded rejections
Records that fail validation are logged with the reason and held for review rather than discarded, keeping the import account complete.
Controlled retries
Transient failures retry under policy; persistent failures raise an alert to operators instead of being absorbed silently.
Connector behaviour, schedules and thresholds are configured with the force during implementation and depend on the source systems in scope.
