Case Study: Lightning Fire Safety Systems wins three new clients and cuts admin costs with simPRO

simPRO wins firm three new clients straight away

Lightning Fire Safety Systems, a Hampshire-based installer and maintainer of fire alarms and electrical safety gear, was burdened by a paper-based management system that required a full-time administrator, 600 sheets of filing each month, and left managers unable to track individual alarm service histories or perform detailed financial analysis. This inefficiency forced engineers to service every alarm on site, hampered contract wins with larger pubs and clubs, and exposed clients to liability.

Lightning Fire Safety Systems implemented simPRO Enterprise to replace its paper processes; within a month the company secured three new contracts by demonstrating asset registers and service histories, cut one administration role to reduce overheads, and eliminated the need for a group accountant through simPRO’s Xero integration. simPRO also delivered instant, drill-down reporting of job profitability and accurate allocation of labour, subcontractor and material costs, enabling better financial control and business growth.
