Ditch Paper & Boost Profits
Time is money. If your team is still using outdated methods, you’re probably losing both.
Contractors who upgrade to software are significantly more profitable than those using outdated methods. These businesses are 2x more likely to have higher profit margins, and are able to retain 30% or more of their annual revenue.
1. Inspect Point users get inspection reports out the door fast.
Manual methods draw out the lifecycle of an inspection report. With software, it’s nearly effortless. Contractors using software are able to prepare and send an inspection report in just ⅓ of the time it takes those using pen and paper.
For contractors submitting to a compliance platform, software streamlines that, too; the submission process is 64% faster when using a solution like Inspect Point.
“We get our reports out within 24 hours of the inspection being done, have proposals created within 48 hours of the inspection, and our percentage to completion or approval is probably at 38%.”
– Dino Rocco, Service Operations Manager, Mack Fire
2. Inspect Point users generate proposals 43% quicker than with manual methods.
Top-tier fire protection companies see about $4 in service revenue for every $1 of inspection revenue. And service revenue hinges on your team’s ability to effectively identify and quote deficiencies.
Generating a proposal using software is 43% faster compared to manual methods – and with a system like Inspect Point, you’re getting more than just a digital quoting tool. Your business is empowered with features like down payments, profit margin calculations, analytic dashboards and reports, and more.
“We have doubled our production since having Inspect Point.”
– Glenn Wells, Service Manager, Hampshire Fire Protection Co., LLC.
3. Inspect Point users’ proposals get accepted 18% quicker.
With software, fire protection contractors received accepted proposals 18% faster than contractors using outdated tools. With digital proposals, customers can accept and sign online – making it easy for everyone.
That’s not the only reason why customers using Inspect Point see quicker acceptance timelines, though. Features like the ability to include deficiency details like photos, code references, and technician notes make for compelling quotes customers are more likely to accept.
“Deficiency photos are huge for people…they’re like, oh, we have to fix this. Then they’re quicker to jump on it and get it fixed. Since using Inspect Point, we saw a 40% boost in proposal acceptance rates.”
– Wendy Griepentrog, Inspection & Service Manager, HJ Pertzborn
4. Inspect Point users can easily generate an accurate invoice.
If you’re working with pen and paper, office staff are likely spending a lot of time interpreting the work done at each building, and how much to bill the customer, before manually creating an invoice in your accounting system. For folks using software, invoice generation is 10% faster, thanks to the ability to generate an invoice directly from an inspection or service work order. That number only goes up when using one of Inspect Point’s accounting integrations.
“Now, when customers get an invoice, it’s really clear. It’s so easy for them to click and pay. I’ve emailed off people’s reports and invoices, and literally, I look at my email a couple of minutes later, and they’ve already paid.”
– Kari Walters, Office Manager, All Valley
5. Inspect Point users get paid faster.
Contractors offering online payment methods get paid 5% faster than contractors who don’t. With more than 82% of all contractors offering online payments, including credit, debit, and ACH transfer, it’s becoming industry standard to accept online payments—and those who aren’t are falling behind. Inspect Point’s integrated payments allow your customer to pay – via a secure, reliable platform.
“The invoice payment option has assisted our office tremendously. We are seeing customers pay more quickly, which is helping to reduce our collections effort.”
– Amanda Smith, Genesis Fire
