Your lab runs cases.
Monolith runs your lab.

Monolith gives Law Enforcement digital forensics teams a single system to manage intake, evidence, case files, reporting, and chain of custody.

Case Submissions in One Organized Pipeline

Relay is a secure, web-based forensic intake portal that lets your partners submit work requests directly into Monolith. Your team receives complete, structured inquiries ready to triage and assign.

Custom Intake Forms

Your lab decides which information is required. Choose which case & evidence fields appear on the Relay form, so every request comes in with the details your team needs.

Self-Serve Case Tracking

Submitters can check the status of their case requests within Relay. Fewer phone calls and emails asking for updates, more time for your team to focus on the work.

Two-Way Communication

Exchange comments directly in Relay. Questions, clarifications, and updates all stay in one thread tied to the request. Receive automatic emails when new comments are made.

Centralized Case & Evidence Tracking

Evidence items, acquisition details, examiner notes, files, tasks, and chain of custody records all live under the same case record. No more hunting through shared drives or cross-referencing spreadsheets.

Store and Organize Case Files Within Monolith

Store and organize files directly within the platform. Everything is tied to its case, so there's no ambiguity about what belongs where.

Centralized Case File Management

Store forensic images, extraction reports, media files, call detail records, and case documentation. Upload, organize, and retrieves files from the same place you manage everything else.

Share and Download

Share files securely with outside stakeholders via Relay or download them when you need a local copy.

Long-Term Bulk Storage

Need long-term digital evidence storage to meet retention policy requirements? Store them securely within the Monolith platform.

Built-in Documentation

Monolith's notes system lets you document your process and findings using a rich text editor directly within the platform. Create notes linked to cases, evidence items, or tasks.

Rich Text with Embedded Images

Format notes with full rich text controls and embed images inline via drag-and-drop or slash commands.

Auto-Save and Version History

Notes save automatically and frequently. Every version is stored and accessible, so you can reference or restore earlier drafts.

Note Templates

Build a standard note structure once, save it as a template, and make it available to everyone on the team.

Directly into Reports

Notes carry their formatting into generated reports. No reformatting or copy-paste required.

Track What Needs to Get Done and Who's Doing It

Create tasks and subtasks tied to specific cases or evidence items, assign them to team members, and track progress in a board (Kanban) or list view.

Visibility for Managers and Examiners

Lab managers can see workload and status across the team, examiners get a clear picture of their to-do's.

Task Templates

Standardize your project management with templated tasks and subtasks. Set up repeatable processes and workflows.

Lab Equipment & Software Tracking

Track the software licenses and physical equipment your lab depends on. Workstations, write blockers, forensic tools, and their associated details are all documented in one place. When it's time to plan renewals, justify purchases, or respond to an accreditation review, the information is already organized.

Metrics & Analytics

Create metrics reports on cases, evidence, storage items, acquisitions, QA entries, and time entries. Export the results to share with leadership or budget committees.

Justify Budget Requests

Pull metrics of how much casework and evidence items your lab has worked on over the past year. When you need to justify a new budget request, you can show why you need additional resources.
