Fire & Security

Everything a fire and security firm needs, in one login

The install is a project. The service visit is a job you have to invoice without losing the thread. TruTrade runs both: a proper quote for the system, and a clean invoice for the visit, with the client able to see what they agreed.

Fire & Security

One login. The whole job.

01

Price the install in stages

Survey, equipment, fit, commission. Margin and VAT in a pack the client accepts before you buy the kit.

  • Live pricing on your rates.
  • A deposit stage before equipment is ordered.
  • The won quote becomes the job.

The system has a budget, not a handshake.

02

Invoice the service visit on its own

A visit is a job with a price. Raise the invoice when it is done and see which sites still owe you.

  • Invoices from the job, with a PDF.
  • Outstanding across every site.
  • The client can see the bill in the portal.

Service work gets billed like install work.

03

The agreement lives on the job

Messages, photos and the accepted quote stay with that site. A change of device count is a variation with a price.

  • Portal for acceptance and messages.
  • Variations kept separate from the original.
  • Photos with the job, not in a camera roll.

You can show what was agreed.

04

Team wages in the same login

Engineers on the tools, timesheets on the week, PAYE and CIS beside the quote. The job’s profit includes the people on it.

  • Timesheet approvals.
  • CIS and PAYE ledgers.
  • Wages on the job P&L.

From the trade

Builders running the same app

“The quote pack alone wins me work. Clients think I’ve got a QS on the payroll — and the margin sliders mean the number that goes out is the number I meant.”
Matthew RenshawBuilder, Warwickshire
“I used to price on the hop and hope for the best. Now I set my margin before the client’s even called back, and I know where every job stands on a Sunday night instead of finding out at the end.”
DommoSelf-employed builder
“Invoices, CIS and the client portal in one place. My admin night has basically disappeared, and clients stopped ringing me for updates because they can see it all.”
