TRADESCRAFT

Job management software for security installers

Quote the system, dispatch the licensed installer, track the gear and bill it - installs and service in one.

Handle new system installations and repeat service work from the same job list. Keep the estimate, installation notes and equipment records with the customer and site, then log the work and prepare the invoice.

Installs and service in one place

  • Quote an alarm, CCTV or access-control system from your price book and convert the win to a job in a tap.
  • Set monitored-system services to repeat on the contract schedule so they're created automatically.
  • Keep camera positions, panel details and site notes on the job for the next visit.

Licences and the equipment record

  • Hold each installer's security licence with its expiry, and get warned before one lapses.
  • Track panels, sensors, cameras and readers by serial across the van and store.
  • Switch on the compliance gate and an installer without a current licence can't be sent to a job that needs one.

Schedule and get paid

  • Plan the fortnight on one board and dispatch the nearest installer to a callout from the live map.
  • Invoice the installed devices and commissioning labour from the job, then let the customer pay online.
  • Overdue invoices chase themselves between jobs.

Common questions

Does it track installer security licences?
Yes. Each installer's security licence is held with its expiry date, and you're warned before it runs out. Turn on the compliance gate and an installer without a current licence can't be dispatched to a job that needs one. The check depends on the required tickets and current records entered; it does not verify every licensing obligation.
Can I run both installs and monitored-service contracts?
Yes. A new install is quoted and run as a job, while a recurring service or monitoring check is set to repeat on the contract schedule and created automatically. Both live on the same system, so nothing slips between the install team and the service round.
Can I track equipment by serial?
Panels, sensors, cameras and access readers are tracked across the van and store as movements, and the serials sit on the job, so you know exactly what went in where - which matters when you go back to service or warranty it.
Can I dispatch the nearest installer to a callout?
The map shows the latest GPS positions of workers who share their location, alongside job and site locations. Compare nearby crew, check their schedule and qualifications, then choose who to dispatch. A nearby position does not establish availability.
