Fire alarm and emergency lighting engineers design, fit, test and service fire alarms and emergency lights in shops, offices, schools, care homes and blocks of flats. New systems usually start with a deposit, and most buildings then book regular service visits, with call-outs charged when something goes wrong. A payments app that handles deposits, service contracts and call-outs can win fire alarm engineers, and every building owner that pays them sees your app.

Make service contracts regular
Customers can pay for regular service visits on a plan, so the engineer gets steady income and never has to chase a renewal.
Grow through fire safety trades
Fire alarm engineers work alongside fire risk assessors, extinguisher firms and managing agents. When those businesses take payments through your app, each engineer can bring more of them onto it.
