Private equity · Fire protection platforms
Multi-branch operators and acquisition platforms run inspections, service, and compliance on Inspect Point, with 1,000+ technicians in the largest single deployments. This page is for the sponsor and the operating partner: what the standard is, what it does to the P&L, and what it takes to bring the next add-on onto it.

Margin strong operators earn on inspection and service work at scale
Test and inspection work carries the strongest margins in fire protection, and it recurs on the code’s calendar rather than the sales team’s. Shift the work mix and the whole P&L follows: more inspections per tech, more deficiencies caught, more proposals accepted, faster cash. Getz Fire Equipment took deficiency proposal acceptance from 20% to over 70% on Inspect Point.

Production since consolidating ten acquired companies onto one system. Reports consistent across sprinkler, extinguisher, and alarm divisions.
“We do everything in fire protection. With 180 employees, we needed to change and get something as dedicated to fire protection as we were.”Jimmy Snowden · Hampshire Fire Protection
Forty branches cannot be managed by what they self-report. With one data model under all of them, leadership reads what the field recorded, and the numbers mean the same thing in the company you bought last quarter as in the one you started with.

Illustrative figuresThe same records the field wrote, rolled up
Nobody at your size is choosing software features. You are weighing the cost of the move, once per acquisition. That is what the rollout is built for: crawl, walk, run, with each company earning the next one, and its system of record kept in place.
Rollout3 phases
Buildings, contacts, systems, and assets move with the company. Every acquisition’s records come in the same door, including the one that closed last quarter.
Implementation is built so the techs are inspecting in the platform early, not at the end of a six-month project plan.
The tenth company runs the same way as the first, one at a time or all at once. Acquired companies onboard to your standard, on a schedule you control.
Start with one company or one division, prove the model, then onboard the rest on your own timeline.
Buildings, contacts, systems, and assets come in at onboarding. If a company ever leaves, it takes a full export with it.
The common language across every company you own is the inspection record, not the org chart.
Same workflows, every territory. The industry’s largest code-aligned workflow library: NFPA, ULC, AES, Joint Commission, DNV, plus regional forms by jurisdiction. An acquired company inherits your standard, not the other way around.
Buildings, systems, assets, deficiencies. Structured records down to the component, identical across every brand you own, so the numbers mean the same thing everywhere.
Inspection to deficiency to proposal to work order to invoice. One chain, and nothing is re-entered downstream.
Alarm, sprinkler, extinguisher, suppression, backflow, doors and dampers, special hazards. Not tied to one manufacturer or panel ecosystem, so one standard covers the whole portfolio.
Our code experts maintain the question sets as editions and jurisdictional requirements change.
The answers tell you how much of the inspection book is being converted, and how far the company is from a standard you could roll to the next one.
If the answer is whatever the form says, the standard lives in the technician’s head. On Inspect Point, NFPA 25 follows the code year you pick, with a per-building override, and our code experts maintain the question sets as editions change.
Question sets · NFPA · ULC · AES · Joint Commission · DNVThis is the number the thesis rests on. Across the customer base, proposal acceptance doubled. Getz Fire Equipment went from one in five to more than seven in ten.

Service revenue · up to $4 per $1 inspectedIf the honest answer is that you would keep its software, the platform has no standard yet. Crawl, walk, run puts the acquired company’s technicians in the platform early, on a schedule you control.

It comes in at onboarding and leaves with the company if it goes. A full export, on the way out, which is also the clean answer at exit.
Company content is not used to train public models. Bulk actions preview first and can be undone for 30 minutes.
The mobile app runs on Apple devices only (iOS and iPadOS). An add-on on Android hardware budgets for iPads in the crawl phase.

The platform with three brands on three systems, the add-on still on paper, the company in diligence. That is the walkthrough we want to do. If you are mid-acquisition, the standardization window is open right now.
A working session on the portfolio, live in the platform. Bring the company list and the systems each one runs; you leave with the shape of the rollout: which company moves first and where the integration seams fall.
The enterprise team. People who have run multi-branch rollouts before, backed by a support team that knows fire protection.
Send this page to the operating partner or the platform CEO, and bring them.
