Our Head of Product, Dani, is here to run you through the key features of our projects functionality.

Projects overview

  • Create projects and tasks from scratch or an existing service quote.
  • Bundle tasks, track progress, and invoice for the entire project.
  • Full financial visibility - track costs against your budget and manage progress claims.
  • Progress dashboards that help billing teams and project managers stay in sync

Create a Project

  • Hit the create projects button populate your project details
  • Set the type of work to match your reporting needs

Raise progress claims

Generate claims based on value or % complete — and Uptick will:

  • Automatically calculate retention
  • Add any outstanding balances to your final claim
  • Split claim values across cost centres
  • Provide your clients with a clear breakdown of work to date and project financials

Track your costs and report on work in progress

  • See budget vs spend, side-by-side - no data exports needed
  • Track variances on every line item - drill in for the why
  • Trace cost origins instantly - labour or materials, it’s there
  • Know where you’re at with labour - approved hours, quoted balance, what’s left
  • Roll everything up - quotes, revisions, estimates, paid costs in one snapshot
  • Filter down or zoom out - flip to a portfolio view and watch profitability across all projects

Track Project performance with confidence

  • No more guesswork. The new Project Performance Dashboard gives you a single view of every active project — helping project managers, finance teams, and operations stay on the same page.

FAQs

What else do you
need to know?

How long does it take to get started with Uptick?

The biggest factors determining the length of the onboarding process are:

  • The size of your team and their training requirements
  • The quality and ease of export of your data

Most companies can get up and running within 2 months.

What platforms and devices does Uptick work on?

Uptick lives in the cloud. That means Uptick is available for your desk/office users on any device (Mac, PC or Linux) via your browser with no additional software downloads.

For your field licenses, on-site staff can use either Apple or Android devices. Our fire safety management app is available in the App store on Apple devices, and the Google Play store on Android devices.

How does Uptick compare to other products?

Uptick is the only modern cloud-based solution that is purposely built for the fire protection industry.

Many alternative solutions are either generic job management platforms that you will need to tailor to your business and/or do not have the same modern cloud-based capabilities.

How does Uptick protect and secure my data?

Uptick takes data security seriously. Our customers include some of the largest companies in the industry. As we work directly with government and banking clients we have have successfully passed through rigorous security auditing and penetration testing.

In addition to being secure, we work hard to provide a reliable service. Customers on Uptick can expect an uptime of 99.95% (including scheduled maintenance). This translates to an average of less than 5 minutes of business-hour downtime per month for office users and no downtime for technicians. If you're a large enterprise and want monetary guarantees around reliability, we offer dedicated hosting and Uptick Support SLAs.

How does Uptick pricing work?

Uptick charges a simple per-user monthly fee for each of your desk and field users. Customer and sub-contractor licenses are unlimited and free.

No hard sell...

But you owe it to yourself to see why 700+ fire protection companies trust Uptick to run their business.
