Cheers, why such a big admin to eng ratio? 

Thats a huge amount from the off ! I think i will try the others as a demo first and see what suits us best but im sure there is a basic requirement of the SSAIB and NSI of information and reports we have to provide via this type of softwate ? Or have i just made that up !

PC data have BASE which is a basic version of alarm master aimed at small ssaib - doesnt have PDA links or anyhing tho but will run the false alarm stat reports etc,

I've looked @ ServiceM8 and it ticked a lot of boxes, the killer for me was they only support Apple.

Bit misleading, 2 engs also needed office seats, couple of engs in pairs so just had one license per pair to start with.

The business covers a few sectors, some admin staff are function based, not sector based.  Efficient in many ways - but not for implementing protean!

Looking at the figures I gave it does seem admin heavy I admit!  However don't forget we we going from almost 100% paper-based to totally paperless - so actually admin load dropped hugely.

Long long overdue and very scary, but well worth it.

I've heard about something called Click too

Clik was written for Daikin (air con installers) and as a result of the authors going solo, it has been taken up by plumbers and now some sparks since they got the licence from NICEIC to do the official version of the certs (they also do Gas Safe).

It could also be used by any 'service' type business i.e fac maint etc... and integrates with Sage nicely.

BUT it is of little to no use for alarms as it offers precisely zero specialist features in this direction. My mate works for them and says a few years back they considered it but them thought the maket too small and the competition too large already on that basis.

I'm waiting for a call from Click

I think for general maint it looks ace
