FieldInsight for Fire Protection — Compliance you can prove

Job management for fire protection companies

Every asset tested.
Every date hit.
Nothing slips.

Efficiency is nice. Compliance is the business. FieldInsight schedules your AS1851 testing automatically, puts the right checklist on every technician’s phone, and generates your AESMR and Form 16 from work that’s already been done — so you can prove compliance, not just claim it.

Built for Australian fire protection companies with 5–50 technicians.

A missed test isn’t an admin error. It’s a liability.

In fire protection, a scheduling gap is a compliance gap. When testing runs on spreadsheets and memory, the failure mode isn’t a late invoice — it’s an asset that wasn’t tested, a statement you can’t stand behind, and a client audit you can’t answer.

RISK-01AS1851 routines tracked manually across hundreds of assets and sites — due dates missed when staff change or spreadsheets drift.
RISK-02No defensible audit trail: paper checklists and photos scattered across phones, emails and job folders.
RISK-03AESMR season becomes weeks of reconstruction — chasing records that should already exist.
RISK-04Defects found on site get written on a docket and forgotten — unquoted, unfixed, and un-billed.

Compliance built into the workflow, not bolted on after it

Every feature below exists to answer one question from a client, an auditor or a building surveyor: can you prove it?

AS1851 Scheduling

Automatic routine testing

Load your asset register once. FieldInsight generates monthly, six-monthly and annual test routines per asset type — AS1851-2012 schedules, plus AIRAH DA19 regimes for mechanical smoke control and HVAC-linked measures — assigns them to technicians, and flags anything approaching overdue before it becomes a breach.

Mobile Checklists

Evidence captured on site

Technicians work through asset-specific compliance checklists on their phone — pass/fail, readings, photos, signatures. Every record is time-stamped against the asset, so the audit trail builds itself.

Configurable Statutory Reports

AESMR · AFSS · Form 16 · Form 72

Generate statutory reports directly from completed test records — configurable templates for your state’s requirements, from Victorian AESMRs and NSW AFSS to Queensland Form 16 review and Form 72 hydrant and sprinkler records. No reconstruction, no guesswork — the statement reflects work you can show. See your state’s forms →

Defect → Quote

No defect left on a docket

Faults found during testing are logged against the asset with severity and photos, then converted straight into a remedial quote. Compliance gaps get closed — and the work gets billed.

One platform · Eight jurisdictions

Configurable report templates — not hard-coded forms

Every statutory report in FieldInsight is a configurable template. Adjust layouts, cover pages, logos, declarations and client formats; map your own test regimes and asset types; and when a regulation changes or a client wants their own format, you update the template — not your process.

From asset register to signed statement

The compliance loop, end to end. Order matters here — each step feeds the next.

STEP 01

Register assets

Import your extinguishers, hydrants, pumps, panels, EWIS, doors and sprinkler systems with locations and service history.

STEP 02

Auto-schedule testing

AS1851 routines generate forward work orders per asset type. Overdue items surface on your dashboard first.

STEP 03

Test & capture

Technicians complete mobile checklists on site. Defects become quotes; results become the audit trail.

STEP 04

Report & invoice

Your state’s statutory reports — AESMR, AFSS, Form 16, Form 72 — generate from completed records on configurable templates. Invoices sync to MYOB Acumatica or Xero the day the job closes.

Can you prove it?

If your answer relies on a spreadsheet and a filing cabinet, it’s worth 30 minutes to see the alternative. We’ll walk through your asset types, your testing regimes and your reporting obligations — with your real workflow, not a canned demo.
