Basic information.
Inspect Point
Cloud software for fire and life safety contractors: inspections, deficiencies, proposals, work orders, invoicing, and payments, with a native iOS field app and a web back office.
2014 in Troy, New York
Founded by Padraic Doyle, Drew Slocum, Jennifer Doyle, and Phil Sirigiano. Padraic Doyle is CEO. Headquarters remain in Troy, NY.
Bootstrapped until Mainsail Partners invested
Mainsail Partners made a $28 million growth equity investment in January 2022.
Software for fire protection
Built only for fire and life safety inspection, testing, compliance, and the service work that follows. It is not a general field service or CRM platform.
United States and Canada
Inspection question sets follow NFPA editions in the US and ULC standards in Canada. Backflow forms follow local water authority requirements.
NFPA, ULC, AES, Joint Commission, DNV
The inspection library is maintained by Inspect Point's code experts as editions and jurisdictional requirements change, and it is included in the platform.
Help center, onboarding specialists, email support
Release notes and product documentation live on the help center. Sales questions go through the demo page.
What the platform does.
Code-aligned inspections in the field
Sprinkler, alarm, extinguisher, suppression, backflow, special hazards, and fire door work on an offline-capable iOS app, with photo capture, barcode scanning, and bulk and quick inspect modes for device-heavy buildings.
Findings that carry forward
Each deficiency holds photos, notes, and the code reference, persists across inspections, and flows into a proposal, a work order, or a compliance portal.
Reports for AHJ submission
Signed, timestamped reports with the system's history behind them. Results and deficiencies submit to The Compliance Engine, IROL, and LivSafe where the jurisdiction uses them. The FDNY integration electronically submits extinguisher inspection data, including the technician’s Certificate of Fitness number.
Recurring work on a series engine
Inspection series set the frequency per system, with calendar, map, and dispatch views and Inspect Point Fleet for vehicle location.
Proposals, work orders, and invoices from the findings
Quotes, dispatch, and billing are generated from inspection results without re-entering data.
Card and ACH on the invoice
Collected through a PCI-compliant processor, with payment methods saved for recurring work.
Customer Portal
Building owners and property managers see their reports, deficiencies, proposals, and documents.
AI Suite
Inspect Point Assistant works inside the account's own data. Actions are previewed before they run, and customer content is not used to train public models.

How it compares and where it stops.
Inspect Point against field service platforms, forms apps, and other inspection software:
Inspection-first
The inspection is the system of record. Scope, deficiencies, service, proposals, invoicing, and compliance start from it.
Fire and life safety only
Roadmap, data model, and AI work are dedicated to this trade, not spread across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical.
Maintained code library included in the plan
Question sets are maintained by Inspect Point's code experts rather than built and kept current by each customer.
Keeps the back office you have
Hardware agnostic across panels and manufacturers; connects to the ERP, CRM, or accounting system already in place, or runs the whole operation.
Not designed for
| Trades | HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or general facilities maintenance |

| CRM | General-purpose sales CRM (it connects to one instead) |

Common questions.
What is Inspect Point?

Who is Inspect Point for?
Fire protection contractors of every size, from owner-operators to multi-branch firms with 1,000+ technicians, across sprinkler, alarm, extinguisher, suppression, backflow, and special hazard work, plus facilities teams that inspect their own buildings.

Does Inspect Point work in Canada?
Yes. Question sets follow ULC standards for Canadian fire alarm work alongside NFPA for the United States, and backflow forms follow the local water authority.
Does Inspect Point replace an ERP or CRM?
It does not have to. Inspect Point connects to accounting, ERP, CRM, and field service systems, or it can run the whole operation. What each integration exchanges differs: the QuickBooks connection moves invoices, payments, and items, and some connections are built per customer against the open API.
How is Inspect Point priced?
Three subscription plans, priced by team size, trades, and the modules enabled, and quoted per company. Plans start at three technicians, or one or two technicians running 400 or more inspections a year. There is no public price list.
Is Inspect Point SOC 2 certified?
Inspect Point's controls are audited against SOC 2 Type II, and the report is available to customers and prospects on request. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and customers own their data.
