Connect the office, workshop and site
Automate©Fire Door ManagementOperating System
Bring projects, people and door records together. Coordinate work across your business and keep the documents teams need close to the job.
Plan work in the office, manage production in the workshop and capture evidence on site. Parts, workshop tools, installation workflows and team documents share the same workspace.
Connected records support evidence review and handover. Their accuracy depends on the information teams record; software does not certify a door or replace competent assessment.
The Fire Door Industry Doesn't Have a Software Problem.
It Has a Data Problem.
Every fire door generates information throughout its lifetime. Surveys, quotations, manufacturing records, installation evidence, inspections, remedial works, certificates and compliance documentation are often created in separate systems by different teams.
The result is duplicated administration, inconsistent records and unnecessary risk.
Automate Fire Door OS connects the information teams capture against each door. Shared records help you find evidence and review what still needs attention, rather than search through separate folders.
Start with the platform. Scale with your team.
- Unlimited door records

For Compliance ManagersA Faster Way To Inspect Fire Doors
Automate has moved beyond traditional questionnaire-driven inspections. Inspectors simply inspect the physical door while the software manages the logic - a workflow designed to significantly reduce inspection time while improving consistency.
Component-based, not questionnaire-based
Inspectors assess the door part by part with smart defaults. Automate asks only relevant questions and reveals detail progressively, reducing cognitive load.
Grouped evidence capture
Photos and findings are organised against the right components as you go - so nothing is missed and reports build themselves.
Automatic report generation
Generate a report from the findings and evidence recorded during the inspection, linked to the QR door record for review.
Reuse Doors. Don't Rebuild Them.
Most fire door businesses configure the same door constructions again and again - project after project.
With the Door Library, completed door configurations are saved as reusable, approved templates. Manufacturing specifications, components and certification requirements carry across projects - so quoting is instant and production stays consistent.
Admin control without slowing the team
Role-based permissions keep your pricing secure while your field teams stay focused on what matters-installation and evidence capture.
Pricing, procurement and quoting visible to admins only
Control who sees margins, supplier costs, and pricing logic-keep operations secure.
Team members focus on delivery, capture evidence, complete tasks
Field teams see what they need: jobs, doors, checklists, and evidence capture-no distractions.
Audit trail + controlled outputs
Every action logged, every document controlled-know who did what, when, and why.
Control Access to Your Business Information

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Automate Fire Doors.
Can admins restrict pricing from team members?
Yes. Automate uses role-based permissions so only authorised administrators can view costs, margins, supplier pricing and profit data. Installers and inspectors see only what they need to complete work — keeping your commercial data fully protected.
Can we generate purchase orders and email suppliers directly?
Yes. Create supplier purchase orders in one click and send them directly from the platform. Orders stay linked to the job, project and door, helping teams review recorded procurement and installation information.
Can we generate professional quotes and email clients?
Yes. Create fully itemised quotes in seconds and send them directly to your customer by email. Quotes remain tracked inside your quotations register so you can monitor sent, accepted, rejected and expired quotes in one place.
Do inspections support photos, comments and digital sign-off?
Yes. Inspections support: Photos, Measurements, Comments, Pass / Fail / Attention flags, and Digital signatures. Recorded inspection evidence is linked to the door record. QR visibility depends on your sharing settings.
Can we track certificates and expiry dates?
Yes. Upload certificates directly to your Parts Catalogue and Door records. Recorded expiry dates can appear in your calendar to help your team plan reviews; checking and renewing the evidence remains your responsibility.
Do you provide public QR compliance records?
Yes. QR-linked door records can be shared publicly or require authenticated access, depending on your settings. Clients, auditors and facilities teams can review the information you make available; a QR code does not certify compliance.
Is Automate suitable for multiple organisations and teams?
Yes. Automate is a multi-organisation platform built for contractors, subcontractors, inspectors and facilities teams — each with their own isolated data, roles, permissions and compliance records.
Can we manage projects, sites and teams in one place?
Yes. You can group doors by customer, site and project, assign teams, log time, share documents and manage communications — all inside one secure workspace.
Can we track job costs, invoices and profit?
Yes. Upload invoices, record expenses and monitor live profit & loss through your finance dashboard. You can track the full financial lifecycle of every job — from materials ordered to final handover.
What makes Automate different from other fire door systems?
Automate connects manufacturing, procurement, installation, inspection records and business operations in one platform. Teams can reuse information and keep evidence attached to the door. Software supports recordkeeping; safety and compliance still depend on the specification, work, competent assessment and applicable duties.
