Our Journey

Established in 1999

In 1999, James Walker and Ian Caughley established Stock Software with a mission to create technology that delivers lasting impact.

Within a few years, their focus turned to the emergency management sector, where they identified a critical need for innovative and reliable solutions.

25 Years of Impact

Over the past 25 years, Stock Software has developed three major platforms that are now widely adopted across Australia and New Zealand to coordinate bushfire and emergency response.

The company’s success has been built on close collaboration with emergency services, ensuring that its products directly address the operational needs of agencies, field personnel, and aviation teams.

Looking Ahead

With the increasing global threat of wildfires and natural disasters, Stock Software is extending its reach internationally, bringing proven expertise and trusted tools to support emergency management organisations worldwide.
