Why alarm and security installers choose Work Flow Trade
Security businesses earn over the life of a site, not just on the install. That only works if you know what you installed, where, and when it's next due, and most crews keep that in someone's head or a spreadsheet. Work Flow Trade keeps an equipment register for every site with serials, warranties and documents, turns service intervals into recurring jobs, and handles staged invoices for the install itself. Commercial clients get a portal with their own sites and history. It's $50+GST a month for the whole business, however many techs you run.
One flat price for your whole crew
