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.

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
Device schedules are re-keyed
The schedule is priced in a spreadsheet, ordered in a distributor portal, and installed from a printout, with three chances to diverge.
The schedule is quote lines; the purchase order is raised from those same lines, so what was priced is what was ordered.
Cost lands after the job closes
Cable drums and hire are bought on account and reach the job in the month-end reconciliation.
Every PO is raised from the job and supplier invoice PDFs are matched back to it, so cost arrives as it is committed.
The certificate holds up the money
Commissioning paperwork travels back to the office in a van and the invoice follows a week later.
The commissioning eForm is completed on site with photos and signatures, and the invoice is raised from the completed job.
