Software an alarm company runs on

Monitoring revenue is the asset you would sell the company for, and it leaks one lapsed agreement at a time. Smarfle renews them before the date passes, keeps install photos and panel details on the property, and hands the service technician the full history before the call. One installer or twenty.

The growth side, built in

Security company call tracking

Consultation calls carry recurring monitoring revenue. Every call is recorded and logged, and missed ones get texted back before the prospect calls the national brands.

Reviews and Google Business Profile

Homeowners check reviews before letting an installer inside. Automatic requests after each install build the trust signal your badge alone cannot.

Website and lead follow-ups

Site-survey requests from your website enter the pipeline with property details, and follow-ups convert quotes into monitoring contracts.

What an inefficient alarm company looks like

The install pays once and the monitoring pays forever, which makes the hour after the install the most valuable one on the job. It is also the hour nobody protects.

✕

Monitoring contracts expire without renewal

Recurring monitoring fees are your most predictable revenue stream. But when hundreds of contracts have different renewal dates tracked in spreadsheets, some lapse quietly. The client stops paying and you find out months later.

✕

Installation projects lack documentation

Alarm installations require wiring diagrams, sensor placement records, and panel programming notes. When this information lives in a technician's notebook, the next service call starts from scratch because nobody can find the original specs.

✕

Service calls get dispatched without history

A client calls about a faulty sensor. Your dispatcher sends a tech who has never been to the property and has no record of what equipment is installed. The tech spends the first thirty minutes just figuring out the system layout.

Every security & alarm call, handled your way

Every call is logged to the account it came from, answered or not. You set which mode covers which hours, and screening keeps automated dialers away from the line completely.

Plain forwarding

$0.04/min

Just rings your phone. Every call logged as answered or missed.

Forward with call tracking

$0.10/min

Rings your phone. Recorded, transcribed, summarized, and logged to the customer record.

Busy message + text-back

~$0.05/call

Plays your message, hangs up, and texts the caller. Replies land in your Inbox as leads.

AI receptionist

$0.25/min

The AI answers, qualifies the caller, and books the job. Great after hours if you want it.

Spam screening is included in every mode

Turn it on and unknown callers hear one sentence and press a key before the call connects. Dialer software does not press keys, so it never reaches you. How screening works

  • Your customers skip it. Known clients and callers on mobile numbers are never screened.
  • You are not billed for it. Screened, silent, and blocked calls cost nothing.
  • One blocklist. Block a number once and it stops calling and texting.

Curious how the AI option sounds? Call (866) 355-9645 and try booking a consultation with it.

Clear workflow every time

How a security alarm install flows through Smarfle

An install becomes monitoring revenue. These five steps are how that happens without the paperwork slipping.

  1. 1

    Lead from break-in or referral

    Enquiries after a break-in arrive by phone or web form and open a client record carrying the property type and the scope discussed.

  2. 2

    Site survey booked

    Calendar slot. Estimator captures door/window count, camera placement, monitoring tier, and any custom fields.

  3. 3

    Install scheduled

    Quote built from line items, contract via e-sign, install becomes a work order. Inventory pulls panels, sensors, cameras.

  4. 4

    Install + activation logged

    Photos of installed devices, job checklist for sensor placement and testing, time tracking, and customer training documented.

  5. 5

    Monthly monitoring + service calls + reviews

    Stripe Connect handles recurring monthly monitoring billing. Service calls become separate work orders with their own invoices. Review request after install.

Same flow for every security & alarm business, only the terminology and details change.

Smarfle is not right for every alarm company

Monitoring revenue is what this protects. If you install and walk away, the value here drops sharply.

And that's okay

Everything Smarfle does for an alarm company

Three jobs beyond the install itself. Running the schedule, collecting the monitoring, and finding the next property.

1

Installation work orders with site specs

Each installation job includes sensor placement plans, wiring notes, panel configuration, and equipment lists. Technicians see everything on their phone.

2

Equipment details on the client

Log every installed device with model and serial number. When a service call comes in, the tech knows exactly what is on site.

3

Inspection scheduling

Create recurring inspection templates for annual alarm tests and compliance checks. Work orders generate automatically so no property gets missed.

4

Dispatch with full service history

Dispatchers see the client's equipment, past service notes, and open issues before assigning a technician. The tech arrives prepared with the right parts.

Parts counted, hours logged

Alarm company software on the service call

A customer you wired four years ago needs a trouble signal diagnosed, and whether that visit takes twenty minutes or two hours was decided back then. The parts that went in, the steps the installer followed, the hours billed to the account, and every note since are what the technician reads before driving out.

The value of an alarm account is what the record still knows about it years after the installer left.

Panels and sensors ready before install day

Panels, sensors, keypads and cable each carry an item number, the price you paid, the price you bill and a count with a reorder mark against it. Assigning parts to an install verifies stock and deducts it while taking them off returns the quantity, and short or empty items can be listed alone.

Panel programming and zone testing, listed

Zone programming, sensor placement, a communicator test and the walkthrough with the homeowner have an order that matters on an install. You set that order against the service once, and each installation shows it so the person holding the screwdriver marks items rather than improvising.

Which accounts eat unbilled hours

Monitored accounts quietly absorb service hours you never put on a bill. Minutes go onto the job with a billable marker, a rate sits on each technician, and the entry is created once work closes.

Four years of history on one account

An alarm account runs for years and gets visited by technicians who never speak to each other. Notes and status changes pile up on the customer and on each job with a name and a date against them, so a return visit starts with reading rather than a phone call.

Get more customers for your alarm business

Alarm company lead generation

Every install you win becomes monitoring revenue that bills forever. Smarfle finds homeowners and businesses shopping for security in your area and sends what they want protected with the request. The monitoring alone repays the lead many times over.

Flat pricing per accepted lead

Security & Alarm leads run about $35 each. You see the job and the ZIP first, then accept or pass free. No monthly lead budget, no bidding wars.

When leads start

We expand the directory around every business that joins, and Google needs time to rank new pages, so plan for up to two months before leads ramp up. You pay per lead, never for waiting. A Google Business Profile with real reviews brings them sooner.

Requests arrive pre-qualified

Every quote request already answers what are you protecting and what do you need, so your callback quotes instead of interviews.

Fair by design

Your existing customers and repeat requests are always free, and a bad lead can be disputed with a refund to your wallet.

Alarm dealers ask this before they commit

No. Smarfle never touches an alarm signal. No central station, no dispatch of authorities, no communicator handling. Your monitoring platform keeps doing every bit of that, and Smarfle runs the business around it, meaning customers, installations, service and money.
Not as a purpose built thing, so here is what you would actually use. Cards on file with repeat charges that raise each invoice, terms and dates held in fields you define, and a reminder that goes out before a date arrives. There is no agreement ledger, no attrition report and no automatic renewal paperwork.
In custom fields you define against the account, such as panel model, communicator type, zone count and install date, alongside install photos on the job. Be clear on the limit, that is one set of fields for the account rather than a record for each device on the wall.
Tag the work as an inspection and put a reminder against the account, which reaches your customer by text or by email before the date arrives. A workflow can also start from a trigger and hold for a delay you choose before taking its next step. What all of that adds up to is prompting rather than a compliance calendar.
No, and that is deliberate. A technician login shows only the installations given to that person plus those customers, and pricing and invoices stay out of reach. Managers handle customers, work and invoices but not your billing or your team, and account actions are written to an audit trail.
They do. Signing in shows them the installations on their site, what they owe and any paperwork you pushed across, with paying and writing to you both possible from there. Certificates and test reports go over one at a time, so nothing you meant to hold back travels with them.
If monitoring at scale is your business, those platforms hold the recurring revenue ledger, the receiver integration and the funding reports, and nothing here replaces that. Dealers use Smarfle for the field half, the installs, the service calls, the invoices and the marketing, and leave the monitoring stack alone.
Logins and stored customers, in that order. A five installer shop with a thousand accounts pays on both counts. Anything metered, meaning messaging, call minutes and numbers, is charged against use. Scroll to the plans on this page for what that comes to.

Switching to Smarfle from other alarm company software?

Every monitored account on your books, and the services behind them, is carried over from an export of your current software by a person, and installers and service technicians are invited individually rather than left with you to sort out. The team on this sits in the US and works through your questions as they come up.
