Installers and service techs

Security & alarm dispatch software

Security and alarm dispatch software for companies running install crews and service technicians. Licensed installers get new systems and camera jobs, service calls are routed between installs, and each technician sees the devices on file before reaching the panel.

“We run every customer conversation through Smarfle. Texts, emails and reminders are in one place, our customers love paying with Apple Pay, and when we are busy or closed the text bot answers new leads for us.”

Licensed installers

Tag technicians with state alarm licenses, low-voltage certification or access control training, and require them on install services.

Team and skills

Installs and service on one board

Install crews' full-day jobs and service techs' short calls sit side by side, so a free service tech can take the keypad error that just came in.

Dispatch board

Service routes

Battery swaps and sensor repairs follow the shortest drive for each service tech, with waiting calls added where they fit.

Route optimization

Devices before arrival

A service call linked to the panel shows its model and install date, so the technician brings the right battery or board.

Customer records

Install progress

Installers photograph sensor placements and the panel, tap Complete, and the customer can sign off on the phone.

What alarm installers ask about dispatch

Is there dispatch software for alarm installers?

Yes. Installs and service calls share one board, with license tags and routes.

Can installs require a state license?

Yes. Make the license tag mandatory on install services.

Does it dispatch on alarm signals?

No. Signals stay with your central station.

Can two installers share a job?

No. The helper needs a separate job on the board.

Can service calls be routed?

Yes. Service techs' calls are ordered by drive time.

Do technicians see the panel model?

Yes. A call tied to the panel displays its model.

Can installers photograph sensor placement?

Yes. Photos stay on the install.

Can I see technicians live?

No. Their last tapped status is what the board displays.
