Streamline operations or build customer trust?

Do both!

For tradespeople like Fire & Security installers, efficient appointment planning is the difference between smooth, professional service and constant firefighting.

That’s where smart scheduling software for tradespeople comes in. Fintrano helps you stay on top of jobs, keep customers informed and make a better impression at every stage.

You already know that building trust with your customers is key to winning and keeping the right kind of work. Our friends at Lollipop Local help Fire & Security companies stand out online through better lead generation, sales acceleration and customer retention. We help you delight those customers once they’ve found you - and turn great service into five-star reviews that drive even more leads.

At Fintrano, we believe that the best Fire & Security businesses win on trust. That’s why we were drawn to Jo and the Lollipop Local team - the 'Lollies' - when we met them at The Security Event earlier this year: they clearly share our passion for helping Fire & Security professionals build credible, customer-winning businesses. During our chat, Jo mentioned that one of the biggest barriers to growth for Fire & Security companies is the lack of reviews, and that stuck with us.

At Fintrano, we believe that the best Fire & Security businesses win on trust.

Another common frustration that Lollies hear from customers is around missed or delayed appointments for planned preventative maintenance visits. When a service engineer turns up late – or not at all – without so much as a call, it leaves the customer feeling undervalued and ignored. They've taken time out of their day to be available, and the lack of communication damages trust. Fixing this is one of the simplest ways to stand out from the competition.

As you already know, Fintrano makes you the hero in your customers’ eyes, with:

  • Instant reassurance: When you enter a job into Fintrano, your customer receives an automatic confirmation by SMS and email. It reassures them that everything is in hand.

  • Zero effort reminders: The day before the job, Fintrano sends a friendly reminder – again via SMS and email – so you stay top of mind without lifting a finger.

  • Clear attendance confirmations: Customers get a professional notification confirming exactly who is coming and when – helping you avoid no-shows and reduce last-minute confusion.

  • Live arrival tracking: When your engineer is en route, a simple button tap in the Fintrano app sends your customer a live tracker, complete with the engineer’s name, photo and location. It is professional, transparent and seriously reassuring.

  • Smart review generation: After the job, the customer is prompted for feedback. If they give a 5-star rating, they’re asked to leave a review on Google, Trustpilot, Facebook or wherever is most useful for your business.

What it does for the customers is amazing, but in terms of what that then does to the business: the streamlining, the building of trust, I think it's invaluable to us as a small team.

As we grow, I think it's an invaluable part of the business.”
