Fire extinguisher and hose reel inspections
Portable extinguishers, fire blankets and hose reels on their own records: six-monthly and yearly activities, pressure test and recharge intervals by type, and a defect raised inline the moment one fails.
Fire inspection software
Fire inspection software built around AS 1851.
Maintenance Partners is fire inspection software for Australian fire protection businesses: the exact AS 1851 form for every asset, an offline-first field app, inspection schedules computed from the asset register, defects that become quotes without re-keying, and the annual fire safety statement built on the live record. Every module is included at $150 per user per month ex GST.
Every system
One inspection app for every fire system in the building
Scan the asset and the right AS 1851 form opens for its type, size and service cycle, in inspection, test and service variants, monthly through to ten-yearly. The forms library is maintained centrally, so a revision to the standard lands on every technician's device at the next sync.
Fire alarm and detection system testing
Fire detection and alarm systems and their panels, zones and devices on the register, with the monthly through yearly AS 1851 activities for each and every result carried on the system's own history.
Sprinkler, hydrant and pump inspections
Flow and pressure readings, valve and gauge checks, pump runs and the yearly and five-yearly tests, each captured against the asset so a reading can be compared with the previous one instead of a figure on a sheet.
Emergency lighting and passive fire measures
Emergency and exit lighting discharge tests to AS/NZS 2293.2, and passive measures such as fire doors, dampers and penetration seals under AS 1851 Section 12, on the same register and cycle grid as the active systems. One site, one schedule, one record.
How an inspection runs
From the barcode to the invoice, one thread of data
1. The schedule generates the visit
Every asset carries its AS 1851 service programme and the due dates come from the register itself. A yearly falling near a six-monthly becomes one visit, and completing it resets every cycle beneath. The week is laid out by site, skill and licence before the truck moves. How the schedule is computed.
2. Scan, inspect, sign off
Scan any barcode or QR tag and the asset's whole life appears. The right form opens, photos and readings land on the asset's record, the technician and the customer sign on the device, and the job syncs when signal returns. All about the MP Connect field app.
3. Defect to quote to work order
A failed item becomes a defect with its photo, severity grade and recommendation. The defect becomes a quote the client approves from the emailed link, the quote becomes a work order, and the invoice reconciles to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online. Defect quoting, end to end.
4. The AFSS on the live record
The annual fire safety statement rolls up from the inspection history by site, shows which measures are current, calls out every open defect before the owner signs, and exports to PDF. Building owners see the same record in their client portal. The compliance engine.
No contest
What a job-booking tool with a fire logo cannot say
Most fire inspection software programs are either generic checklist apps or field-service tools with inspection forms attached, and the ones built for the trade are mostly built for NFPA in the United States. Maintenance Partners was built in Australia by the people who train the industry on AS 1851, and the differences are structural.
The standard is the data model
AS 1851's cycles, activities and defect classes are the structure of the product, not a template loaded into it. Critical defect, non-critical defect and non-conformance are graded the way the standard grades them, and a revision reaches every device centrally.
It can prove you were late
A completion-anchored schedule moves the next due date when the work is done, so it can never show a breach. Maintenance Partners also measures every asset against the fixed grid the standard implies, separating work done late from work never done. That is a compliance register you can hand to an auditor.
Offline is a replica, not a cache
The field app carries a full replica of the technician's work on the handset: the entitled register, its histories and its checklists. A basement with no signal is a normal working day, and a fortnight out of coverage loses nothing.
One published price, every module
$150 per user per month ex GST with the field app, office portal, compliance engine, asset registers, scheduling, defect quoting, invoicing, client portal and accounting integrations all included. No tiers, no add-ons, no lock-in. Full pricing.
Questions
Fire inspection software questions, answered.
What does fire inspection software need to do in Australia?
Routine servicing of fire protection systems in Australia runs under AS 1851, which sets monthly, six-monthly, yearly, five-yearly and longer cycles per system type, each with its own inspection, test and service activities. Fire inspection software therefore has to hold a register of every asset, know the standard's programme for each one, put the right form in front of the technician, keep the result on the asset's record, grade defects the way the standard does, and feed the annual fire safety statement or its state equivalent. Maintenance Partners is built with the standard as the data model. Read the AS 1851 guide.
Which fire systems does the inspection software cover?
Sprinklers, hydrants and pumps, fire detection and alarm systems, portable extinguishers and hose reels, emergency and exit lighting, and passive fire measures. The field app opens the exact AS 1851 form for the asset's type, size and service cycle, in inspection, test and service variants, and the forms are maintained centrally so a revision reaches every device on its next sync.
Does the fire inspection app work offline?
Yes, completely. MP Connect carries a full replica of the technician's work on the device: the entitled asset register, its inspection histories and every checklist. A plant room with no coverage or a fortnight out of range is a normal working day, and everything captured syncs the moment the phone finds signal. More on the field app.
How is this different from fire inspection software programs built for NFPA?
Most fire inspection software programs on the market are built around NFPA 25 and NFPA 72 for the United States, with generic checklists for everywhere else. Australian fire businesses answer to AS 1851 and to state reporting such as the NSW annual fire safety statement, Victoria's annual essential safety measures report and Queensland's occupier's statement. Maintenance Partners was built in Australia by the people who train the industry on AS 1851, and the standard's cycles, activities and defect classes are the structure of the product rather than a template loaded into it. The buyer's guide sets out eight tests to put to any vendor.
Does it produce the annual fire safety statement?
The AFSS is generated from the live inspection record on the platform rather than a spreadsheet kept by one person. It rolls up by site, shows which essential fire safety measures are current, calls out every defect still open before the owner signs, and exports to PDF for the building owner and council. Competency rules keep technicians off inspections they are not qualified for, so the statement and the evidence under it stay in step. The compliance engine.
How much does fire inspection software cost?
Maintenance Partners is $150 per user per month ex GST ($165 inc GST) with every module included: the field app, office portal, compliance engine, asset registers, scheduling, defect quoting, invoicing, client portal and the Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online integrations. No tiers, no add-ons, no setup fees, no lock-in, and volume discounts for larger teams are shown before you pay anything.
Can we move across from another fire inspection platform?
Yes. Our team brings your asset register and your service history across with you: every past inspection, result, defect and close-out, not just the register. It is part of getting you started, not a project we bill for. The switching guide covers how to time the cutover around the AS 1851 cycle.
