Why a working fire alarm contractor built his own software.

I'm Thomas. I own Vector Fire LLC in Houston — a small fire alarm contractor doing inspections, installations, and service for commercial clients across the Houston metro. Licensed Texas fire alarm contractor, active on jobs from Humble to Conroe.

For years I tried to run the shop on the tools everyone said were the gold standard. Jobber doesn't know what an addressable panel is. ServiceTitan is priced for companies with twenty techs and a full-time admin. The vertical tools that are closer to what fire contractors need either aren't built for the US market or don't sync with QuickBooks the way my accountant needs them to.

So every week I was importing point lists into Excel, copying line items between quotes and jobs, re-typing inspection findings into deficiency reports, and emailing AHJ permit status updates to myself at 10pm. I was spending more time moving data around than I was billing for.

FireSync Pro is what I built to stop.

It knows what a point list is and imports them natively. It turns failed tests into deficiencies, deficiencies into quotes, quotes into jobs, and jobs into invoices — all on one screen. It auto-assigns the right AHJ based on job coordinates. It syncs every invoice to QuickBooks automatically.

It also answers after-hours calls with an AI receptionist that triages and dispatches — but honestly, that's a bonus. The core is the data flow.

I use it every day at Vector Fire. It's my primary system of record. When I fix something here, it fixes something in my own business first. That's the filter.

I'm opening 10 founding-customer slots at 50% off for life.

Not because I need the revenue — because I need ten more shops like mine telling me what's still broken. 1 to 10 people, real fire alarm work, willing to give honest feedback. If that's you, apply below. I read every application.
