Fire safety software that remembers every device on every site.
Service fire alarms and emergency lighting, fill in the BS 5839 and BS 5266 certificates on your phone, and send them with the invoice before you leave site. At the next service, one tap brings last visit's devices back.
14 days free, no card needed. Then £19 a month.
One service visit, device by device.
Here's a six-monthly service at Harbour House, a two-zone office with twelve devices on the loop.
Last visit's devices, one tap away
On the servicing certificate, tap Bring forward devices. The list from the last service at that site is copied in, with zone, reference, type and location, and every result left blank for you to test.

The equipment details are copied across; every reading and result is left blank for you to test.

Mark each device as you go: pass, fault, or not tested this visit. The certificate counts the call points and detectors you've done, and reminds you they should all be tested over twelve months. Photos go on it too.

OnPoint reads the certificate as you fill it in and points out anything that doesn't add up, with why it matters. It never changes what you wrote and never stops you issuing.
ProblemDevice 11: a device is recorded as faulty but nothing says what the fault is.
The next engineer reads this schedule to find out what was left outstanding. A fault with no description tells them only that something was wrong.
Signed on site, sent with the invoice
The responsible person signs on your phone, or later from the link in their email. The certificate goes with the invoice in one email, and the next service date fills in from the visit, so the site comes round again in six months.

“The auto-renewal reminders for gas safety records pay for the subscription on their own. No more landlords slipping through. We added properties this year because we could actually handle the compliance.”
“Engineers used to come back at 5pm with stacks of paper job sheets. Now everything's signed on the phone before they leave the customer. Invoices go out the same day. The cash flow shift was instant.”
When the mains goes, the log keeps going.
Log the monthly functional test and the annual full duration test fitting by fitting: condition, charging light, duration and result. If one fails, OnPoint asks what's being done about it, and the next test date fills itself in.

Every site, every six months.
Each servicing certificate sets the next service date. Renewals lists every site coming up, and thirty days before, OnPoint emails the customer. If you've set up online booking for it, they pick a time themselves.
Rather book it yourself? Put the site on a service plan and every six months the visit goes in the diary four weeks before it's due, with the engineer you picked. Link the plan to the servicing certificate and Renewals shows the site as booked.

Extinguishers and fire risk assessments start from ready-made forms you can change, and they come round on Renewals too. Fire doors, or anything else? Build your own form from a photo of the paper sheet you use now.

Questions fire contractors ask us.
OnPoint is also built for electrical contractors and property and facilities maintenance teams.
What is OnPoint?
OnPoint is job management software for UK fire safety contractors. It covers BS 5839 fire alarm and BS 5266 emergency lighting certificates, device lists brought forward from the last service, service reminders, quotes, the diary, invoices and card payments, in one app for iPhone, Android and the web.
Which fire certificates does it have?
The whole BS 5839-1 set: design, installation, commissioning, acceptance, verification, inspection and servicing, modification and the log book. Also BS 5839-6 for homes, the BS 5266-1 emergency lighting completion certificate, periodic inspection and testing certificate and test log, and a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm record for rented homes.
Are they on the current editions?
Yes. New certificates print BS 5839-1:2025, BS 5839-6:2019+A1:2020 and BS 5266-1:2025. Certificates issued before the change keep the wording they were signed with.
Do I need an electrical scheme number?
No. Switch on electrical certification in your settings and tick the self-declared qualified box, and every fire alarm and emergency lighting certificate unlocks. Your BAFE SP203 or other third-party reference goes on the certificates that ask for it.
Does it remember the devices from the last service?
Yes. On a servicing certificate, tap Bring forward devices and the list from the last service at that site is copied in: zone, reference, type and location, with every result left blank for you to test. The emergency lighting test log does the same for luminaires.
Does it remind my customers when a service is due?
Yes. The servicing certificate sets the next service date from the visit, six months by default. Thirty days before, OnPoint emails the customer, and you can switch on a text to their mobile as well. You can change how far ahead in your settings, or switch it off for a single certificate. If you'd rather book the visits yourself, a service plan puts each one in the diary for you.
Can one customer have lots of sites?
Yes. A managing agent or facilities company can have as many sites as you like, each with its own contacts, certificates and history. Their portal lists every certificate you've sent them, grouped by site, and they can download the lot as one zip.
What about extinguishers, fire doors and risk assessments?
Those aren't certificates, but two are ready-made forms: a fire extinguisher service record to BS 5306-3 and a fire risk assessment. Each is copied into your templates for you to change, and its next service or review date brings it round on Renewals. For fire doors or anything else, take a photo of the paper form you use now and OnPoint turns it into a form you fill in on your phone, with photos and a signature. Where a form has the customer's signature on it, they can sign on your phone or later from a link.
Does it work without signal?
Yes. Certificates and photos save on your phone and sync when you're back in signal. Bringing forward last visit's devices needs a connection, so do that before you head into the plant room.
How much does it cost?
£19 a month for one person, plus £9 a month for each extra person. Or pay yearly: £228 a year for you and £108 for each extra person. Every feature is on that one plan. You get 14 days free with no card needed, and you can cancel any time.
I use Joblogic, Commusoft or BigChange. How does OnPoint compare?
We've put OnPoint side by side with each of them, feature by feature. If you switch, send us your customers, sites and past jobs and we'll import them for you, free.
One price. Every item passes.
£19 a month for you, and £9 a month for each engineer you add. No tiers and no add-ons, so a one-person business and a team of twenty get the same app.
14 days free, no card needed. Cancel any time.
