Uptick is an operating system for fire and security businesses, bringing quotes, scheduling, reports, and invoices into one product. It is aimed especially at fire inspection, testing, and maintenance teams with 3–50 field technicians. Technicians can complete digital inspection forms based on local standards, using hundreds of templates or adapting forms for customer and site needs. Scheduling includes recurring inspections and an AI Scheduler that assigns technicians and tasks in one click. Other features cover asset lists, deficiencies and sales quotes, billing, inventory, timesheets, installation projects, a customer portal, and reporting. The product includes a technician mobile app and offline mode. Listed integrations include Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, MYOB, Joyfill, Honeywell, Locatrix, and The Compliance Engine; field and office transactions integrate directly with Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB. Uptick says most companies can get started within two months and that served regions have local support. Pricing is available on request; the plan is invoiced monthly and can be canceled at any time. The maker says it may not suit one-person handyman businesses or buyers needing enterprise-level asset-management complexity.
