Innovations deliver an end-to-end solution to streamline front-office operations, sell more profitable contracts, and provide exceptional customer service
Sept 6th, Durham, NC – ServiceTrade, the leader in software for commercial contractors, has just unveiled two groundbreaking offerings for fire and life safety contractors in preparation for the upcoming AFSA42 convention hosted by the American Fire Sprinkler Association.
The first innovation, InspectionManager, streamlines inspections to ensure technicians can focus on critical activities that keep businesses running and communities safe. The second, NorthBoundary SalesManager for Fire and Life Safety, provides sales professionals with a specialized sales application to efficiently price inspection agreements and create compelling proposals that lead to profitable customer relationships. These cutting-edge solutions are a game-changer for the industry and will revolutionize how fire and life safety contractors operate.
Managing fire inspections can be a complex task for service contractors. They must navigate different requirements and standards set by national, state, and local authorities. Outdated, paper-based processes can make this even more challenging. As a result, it is difficult for field technicians to work efficiently while meeting compliance standards and customer expectations.
Making matters worse, sales representatives struggle with disconnected systems that lack visibility into effective pricing and service delivery. This wastes time and creates uncertainty when crafting inspection contracts that meet margin expectations.
With these innovations, fire contractors can now consolidate their crucial customer-facing work into one system, allowing them to access valuable insights previously scattered across their inspection, service, and sales systems. For example, a technician can perform a complicated inspection, highlight deficiencies that need to be fixed, and easily pass off to a sales representative who can generate quotes to increase revenue for the contractor.
“I’m excited to release these innovations for fire and life safety contractors, “ said Billy Marshall, the CEO of ServiceTrade. “ServiceTrade remains committed to leading the fire and life safety industry with technology applications that improve technician productivity, lower risk for both the contractor and building owner and increase contractor sales efficiency.”
InspectionManager combines the leading capabilities from ServiceTrade with Asurio’s BirdDog product to improve field techs’ ability to streamline the inspection process while maintaining compliance with national, state, and local AHJ standards.
At the heart of InspectionManager is a new comprehensive library of pre-built inspection forms and reports based on NFPA standards to help contractors get up and running fast and with minimal customization. This new resource is possible given the extensive knowledge and industry experience ServiceTrade has amassed over 10+ years in the fire and life safety market.
InspectionManager makes it easy for inspectors to digitize the entire inspection lifecycle, perform complex tasks like joint-commission inspections, and deliver compliant reports. InspectionManager includes new features, such as the ability to complete jobs with multiple inspectors across multiple days, and offers integrations to leading third-party portals, making it easier for inspectors to complete a report and submit it once, ending a lot of duplicate data entry that frustrates techs.
The second innovation, SalesManager for Fire and Life Safety, builds off ServiceTrade’s acquisition of NorthBoundary and adds fire-specific capabilities like:
By integrating the sales process with service delivery in ServiceTrade, contractors will have complete visibility and control over how agreements are priced and delivered to ensure margin performance and an exceptional customer experience.
InspectionManager and NorthBoundary SalesManager for Fire and Life Safety are available today for all ServiceTrade users on their Premium and Enterprise plans.
ServiceTrade will showcase its latest advancements for fire and life safety contractors at the American Fire Sprinkler Association AFSA42 Convention in Orlando, Fla., Sept. 6-9, 2023.
Three ServiceTrade leaders will deliver thought-leadership presentations during AFSA42.
Fire and life safety work doesn’t look the same for every contractor. Some teams focus primarily on recurring inspections and compliance reporting. Others balance inspections with service calls, repairs, and ongoing maintenance across multiple sites and systems. Many fire protection businesses fall somewhere in between—managing a mix of scheduled inspections, emergency service, deficiency tracking, and […]
Mechanical inspections don’t look the same for every contractor. Residential teams need to move fast, stay consistent, and clearly communicate results to customers. Commercial contractors often need more capabilities—like detailed asset tracking, preventative maintenance, and help staying compliant. Many mechanical businesses sit somewhere in the middle, handling a mix of both. The problem? Most inspection […]
