Fire & Security

Fire alarm installer software from survey to certificate

Panels, devices, cable and labour as costed lines, distributor POs raised from the job, install stages on a board, and the commissioning form completed on site.

Installation-led, with servicing behind it

A fire alarm install is a project with a certificate at the end of it. The panel and devices come from a distributor, the cable pulls are subcontracted or in-house, and the invoice waits on commissioning.

  • Panels, devices, cable and labour price as separate costed lines
  • Distributor POs are raised from the job and acknowledged in Zigaflow
  • Install stages sit on a board with cost attached
  • Commissioning eForms produce a certificate PDF from what was entered

More about Zigaflow for Fire Alarm Installers

Zigaflow prices the system as costed lines, raises the distributor purchase orders from the job, runs first fix, second fix and commissioning as stages on a board, and lets the engineer complete the commissioning eForm on site so the invoice can go the same day.

The problems we solve

01

Device schedules are re-keyed

Before

The schedule is priced in a spreadsheet, ordered in a distributor portal, and installed from a printout, with three chances to diverge.

With Zigaflow

The schedule is quote lines; the purchase order is raised from those same lines, so what was priced is what was ordered.

02

Cost lands after the job closes

Before

Cable drums and hire are bought on account and reach the job in the month-end reconciliation.

With Zigaflow

Every PO is raised from the job and supplier invoice PDFs are matched back to it, so cost arrives as it is committed.

03

The certificate holds up the money

Before

Commissioning paperwork travels back to the office in a van and the invoice follows a week later.

With Zigaflow

The commissioning eForm is completed on site with photos and signatures, and the invoice is raised from the completed job.
