Solva Systems › Fire and security
Software for fire and security installers.
Installations, maintenance contracts and call-outs in one system, with the servicing intervals and certificates that keep you compliant built in rather than bolted on.
Book a conversationWhat usually goes wrong
This trade lives on intervals and evidence. Systems have to be serviced on a schedule, certificates have to exist, and when something goes wrong the question is always what was done and when.
- Service intervals are tracked in a spreadsheet. Six monthly, annual, quarterly, across hundreds of systems, and it only takes one missed row.
- Certificates are scattered. Issued on site, emailed to the client, and not attached to the system they certify.
- Asset history is thin. What panel is at that site, what was replaced last visit, and by whom, is not in one place.
- Call-outs interrupt the service plan. Reactive work eats the schedule and the planned visits quietly slip.
- Proving compliance takes a day. An audit or an insurance question means assembling evidence from three places.
What we build instead
Fenwick Heating on our home page is the same shape: engineers, jobs, certificates and recurring service work. Fire and security gets that engine with intervals, standards and asset history built for what you are audited on.
Intervals that generate the work
Every system with its schedule, turning into a visit before it falls due rather than after.
Certificates against the system
Attached to the panel and the site, not to whoever attended, and findable instantly.
Asset history that is actually a history
Every device, every visit, every part changed, in one place.
Call-outs without losing the plan
Reactive work slotted in with the effect on planned visits visible rather than discovered later.
Contracts that bill themselves
Maintenance billing raised from the contract and the work done.
Compliance evidence on demand
What was done, when, by whom, produced in minutes instead of a day.
Why not one of the off-the-shelf ones
The established fire and security platforms are thorough and, if you fit them, worth the money. They are also priced for larger installers and assume one way of running a service department. This is for companies that keep hitting the edge of that.
| Team size | Typical per-seat tool | Over three years |
|---|---|---|
| 5 people | around £50 a seat | about £9,000 |
| 15 people | around £50 a seat | about £27,000 |
| 30 people | around £50 a seat | about £54,000 |
The question is not whether the licence is cheap. It is what you are working around every day, and what that costs you in evenings. Work out your own three year figure.
How it works
We learn how you actually run. Usually a couple of calls. If it suits you we will come and spend a day watching the work move through the company.
You see it before you pay anything. We build the opening screens in your branding, with your words for things and demo data in them. Not a finished system, enough to see the shape of yours and tell us where it is wrong.
Then we build the real one. The monthly starts and takes three to six months depending on how much system there is. Every fortnight you are told where it is up to. One fee covers building it, running it, hosting it and improving it.
Worth a conversation about how your servicing schedule holds up?
