Uptick platform supports fire and safety job management

Uptick’s software is designed for service providers working in fire safety, security, and HVAC.

The company explained that the software allows for scheduling, inspection, preventative maintenance, compliance documentation, and payment processing to be managed in one digital platform.

The firm said that this platform helps field service professionals reduce paperwork, increase job volume, and support faster communication between office and field teams.

Uptick added that its customers operate across Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the US.

The software is used to manage systems in commercial buildings, including fire detection and suppression systems, safety equipment, and building compliance tools.

Uptick Founder and CEO Aidan Lister said the investment would support the company’s goal of modernising how life and safety systems are managed.

Aidan Lister said: “Our customers maintain the life, health and safety systems that we all live, work and play in.

“We have an incredible opportunity ahead of us to help digitise and transform an entire industry, and we are so excited to have partners that see and support our vision and growth ambitions.”

He added that Uptick sees potential for digitisation to improve consistency, compliance and operational speed across safety-critical sectors.
