Fire protection is the most inspection-heavy trade in field service. Hundreds of devices per building, strict NFPA code requirements, and AHJ reporting deadlines — paper inspection forms are a ticking compliance bomb.
Objective third-party statistics and research benchmarks relative to dispatch & scheduling and fire protection workflows.
Annual inspections for 300 buildings need to be scheduled within their NFPA compliance windows. The scheduler uses a spreadsheet with due dates, but missed dates only surface when the AHJ sends a violation notice.

These tools are great at what they do — but they don't eliminate the dispatch & scheduling gap. That's what we build.
We study exactly where dispatch & scheduling happens in your fire protection operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.
Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.
You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the dispatch & scheduling problem, you don't pay.
