About linkchart · intelligence mapping
We built linkchart so investigation teams can turn scattered notes into a clear link chart — a single, living picture of who is connected to whom, what was seen where, and how communication ties the network together.
Criminal and civil investigations generate more data than ever — witness statements, registries, CCTV, call logs, social media and open sources. Without structure, critical connections stay hidden in folders and spreadsheets.
linkchart is an investigation intelligence tool that puts network analysis at the centre of your workflow. Instead of redrawing diagrams for every briefing, you maintain one authoritative link chart on a zoomable canvas. Each person, vehicle, address, phone number, event or communication profile is a structured card with fields your team actually uses — status, plate number, carrier, date, location and free-text notes.
Relationship lines are first-class evidence carriers: label them owns, seen at, uses, refers to or your own taxonomy. Hover a card and the network lights up — the same interaction you see on our live demo. For a full product overview, see the linkchart product guide. That immediacy helps detectives, analysts and prosecutors align on the same mental model before charges, interviews or further surveillance.
Human memory is spatial. A relationship mapping tool that mirrors how suspects, assets and locations cluster reduces errors in briefing rooms and court preparation. linkchart is not a case management system replacement — it is the visual layer that sits alongside your existing registers, RMS and document stores, making entity resolution and link analysis visible to everyone on the team.
linkchart is designed for professionals who need defensible, shareable network views — not generic diagramming.
Map suspects, victims, vehicles and safe houses. Support proactive and reactive policing, gang disruption and major crime enquiries with an always-updated link chart.
Document insurance fraud, infidelity, missing persons or corporate misconduct with a professional network diagram clients and lawyers can follow.
Combine registry data, financial flows and open-source leads into one intelligence map for threat assessment and strategic briefings.
Everything on linkchart is built for traceability and speed during live cases.
Add cards from a toolbar grouped by investigation and communication categories. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom, and open the side panel to edit fields without losing context. Group related entities, attach photos to vehicles or persons, and export print-ready maps for operation orders or disclosure schedules.
Multiple maps per account let you separate operations, hypotheses or phases while reusing the same visual language. Whether you run a small fraud file or a multi-year organised crime portfolio, the canvas scales with your enquiry.
Teams search for many names — linkchart aims to be the answer for structured network investigation software in the browser.
A link chart (or link diagram) shows entities as nodes and relationships as edges. linkchart is purpose-built link chart software — not a generic drawing app — with investigation-specific card types, colours and field templates so your network diagram stays consistent across cases and analysts.
For homicide, drugs, firearms, human trafficking or gang violence, investigators need to see hierarchy and overlap between cells. Our criminal investigation mapping tool highlights clusters when you hover cards and animate relationship lines, making it easier to explain modus operandi and association evidence.
Follow money, shell companies and beneficial owners by linking companies, persons and addresses. Fraud teams use linkchart as a relationship mapping tool to present complex corporate structures to compliance and legal stakeholders.
Phone numbers and social profiles (such as Facebook) sit on the same canvas as physical entities. Map uses, profile and custom labels between devices and accounts to support communication analysis alongside traditional field work.
Because maps live in your linkchart account at linkchart.art, returning to a case does not mean rebuilding slides from scratch. New colleagues onboard faster when the investigation canvas already shows the network you have validated.
Common questions about linkchart as an investigation and intelligence mapping platform.
linkchart is a web-based intelligence mapping application. You add investigative entities to a canvas, connect them with labelled lines, and store the result as a case map in your account — accessible from any modern browser at linkchart.art.
No. While we optimise for police and law enforcement workflows, private investigators, security teams, journalists doing network research and corporate investigators use linkchart for any enquiry that benefits from a visual link analysis approach.
linkchart runs in the browser. Register, sign in and open your map — no desktop install. Mobile upload helpers support adding photos from the field to cards on your canvas.
Network analysis is easier when relationships are explicit. linkchart forces structure: every connection can carry a label, every entity has a type and metadata. That supports link analysis techniques taught in intelligence and investigation training — from association charts to operational network diagrams.
Yes. The homepage demo shows the canvas, card design and relationship highlighting. Create a free account when you are ready to save your own investigation maps.
Maps and account data are hosted for linkchart.art. Use linkchart in line with your organisation's data protection, disclosure and security policies. We recommend access control and strong passwords for sensitive investigations.
