Fire Protection

No ReKeying — Every Service Agreement Renewed, Every Visit Logged Automatically

Maintenance agreements are your most profitable recurring revenue — and the ones most likely to slip through the cracks. Renewal dates buried in a spreadsheet, missed visits never billed, customers who forgot they had a contract. No ReKeying means every agreement visit is dispatched, logged, and billed without manual follow-through.

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.

Fire Protection Industry Data & Research

Key statistics shaping the fire protection market today.

NFPA 25 mandates weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual inspections of water-based fire protection systems — each requiring documented records
NFPA 25 Standard, 2023
Fire sprinklers operate effectively in 97% of fires — but only when inspection and maintenance records prove the system was properly maintained
NFPA Fire Sprinkler Performance Report, 2024
Inspection records must be retained for a minimum of 1 year; termiticide and fire suppression chemical records for 5 years in most jurisdictions

How Maintenance Agreement Tracking Actually Looks in Fire Protection

The Scenario

A fire protection company manages inspection agreements for 80 commercial buildings — quarterly sprinkler inspections, annual extinguisher certifications, hood system inspections. Scheduling is done manually. A change in the fire marshal's inspection cycle wasn't updated in the spreadsheet — and 12 accounts were inspected on the wrong cycle.

The Real Impact

Wrong-cycle inspections on fire protection agreements create AHJ compliance gaps that can result in red-tag violations, building occupancy holds, and contract cancellations worth $1,800–$6,000/year per account.

Does This Sound Like Your Fire Protection Operation?

  • !Maintenance agreement visits get skipped and nobody notices until the customer calls
  • !Renewal dates are tracked in a spreadsheet that someone forgets to check
  • !Agreement customers get treated like one-off jobs — no priority scheduling

The Cost of Doing Nothing

A missed maintenance agreement visit is lost revenue and a broken promise. If 10% of your agreement visits are missed, a $50K/month agreement base leaks $5K/month — $60K/year — in unbilled work.
