CCTV AMC software has to tie the project (survey, quote, install) to the contract (quarterly visits, repairs) that follows it.
Problems CCTV AMC software should solve for a CCTV and security business
- Quotes take hours and differ between salespeople.
- Installed equipment is not recorded, so repairs start from scratch.
- Maintenance visits are forgotten after the installation team leaves.
- Parts for repairs run out at the wrong time.
What it must do
- Leads and surveys: enquiry, site survey notes and photos
- Quotations: equipment and labour lines with tax
- Camera and recorder records: model, location and warranty per site
- AMC plans: quarterly maintenance visits
- Repairs: DVR or NVR repair jobs with parts
- Billing: GST invoices and payments
Questions to ask before you buy
- Can I record every camera and recorder per site?
- Can I quote equipment and installation together?
- Does the AMC create quarterly visits?
- Can I record parts used on repairs?
