New inspection technology supports fire contractors
ServiceTrade has launched a digital inspections platform tailored to the fire protection sector in the United States.
According to ServiceTrade, the new feature – ServiceTrade Inspections – integrates inspection and compliance processes directly into its existing field service management platform.
The company said the system is intended to support fire contractors by reducing paperwork, consolidating operations, and improving accuracy in inspection reporting.
ServiceTrade stated that this launch followed over a decade of collaboration with commercial fire service providers and aimed to address common operational challenges.
According to the company, the product is now available for purchase, with rollouts planned from autumn 2025.
All-in-one solution for mobile inspection and compliance
ServiceTrade explained that its inspection tool is built into the platform’s mobile application, allowing technicians to manage inspections and maintenance from one interface.
The company said the app includes digital forms based on NFPA and AES standards and supports joint commission-accredited organisations such as hospitals and schools.
Inspection data is recorded once and reused across reports, asset updates, and deficiency documentation, according to ServiceTrade.
It added that this structure allows faster report generation and more accurate compliance tracking.
The mobile interface is also designed to reduce technician training time and increase adoption in the field.
Deficiency tracking and report generation
ServiceTrade stated that technicians using the new system can identify issues during inspections and have these immediately added to compliance reports.
According to the company, identified deficiencies are automatically converted into quotes for repair work, eliminating duplicate entries and reducing turnaround time.
Brook Bock, Chief Product Officer at ServiceTrade, said: “Inspection and deficiency repair work is an engine of predictable revenue and growth for fire protection contractors.
“ServiceTrade’s new built-in inspections functionality makes it easier for contractors to take advantage of this desirable work without compromising on capabilities or implementing multiple software products to support both inspections and operations.
“ServiceTrade’s all-in-one service capabilities include inspections, quotes, repairs, and compliance reporting.
“It is purpose-built to help fire service contractors build stronger, more efficient, and more profitable businesses.”
Field-to-office integration and digital efficiency
The company reported that its integrated solution improves coordination between technicians and office staff, with real-time tracking and edit history.
It said that the workflow allows seamless updates to inspection forms within the platform, supporting transparent operations.
Joshua Gilbert, Vice President of Operations at Desert Fire, said: “ServiceTrade does three things simultaneously – it creates the report and maps everything for compliance, tracks all deficiencies so we can generate quotes and send work acknowledgments to customers, all from one mobile interface.
“Once we started tracking how quickly we moved from deficiency to quote to job to invoice, our revenue skyrocketed because nothing was getting missed anymore.”
According to ServiceTrade, this digital approach removes paperwork and supports more consistent service delivery.
Product availability and industry-specific focus
The platform is available to fire contractors across the United States.
ServiceTrade said it designed the system specifically for the fire protection sector, with industry-specific forms, terminology, and workflows.
It noted that the platform differs from general inspection tools, which may lack dedicated features for fire protection work.
The company confirmed that implementation for ServiceTrade Inspections will begin in autumn 2025.
