"The Inspector" is a COMPLETE solution to inspections; including estimating, scheduling, inspecting, job costing, work/repair order and accounts receivable.

"The Inspector" is completely customizable, nothing is set in stone. Do you really want a program to tell you how to do an inspection or do you want to tell the program how to do an inspection?

NEW VERSION (Big Sky)  is now available with a completely new interface.

You do not need to buy a multitude of programs. "The Inspector" can be used to inspect almost anything, fire protection systems NFPA 25, sprinkler systems, alarm and detection NFPA 72, special hazards, range hoods, fire extinguisher, fire pumps, hydraulics lift machinery, backflow preventer, fire hose, fire hydrants, a fleet of trucks, building and building modification or commodity changes. "The Inspector" may even be used to track the final assembly of an exhibit manufacturing process. The Inspector is more flexible than any other software product available.

The program comes preinstalled with topics and items for:

• Back Flow Preventers

• Fire Hydrants

• NFPA 10

• NFPA 24

• NFPA 25

• NFPA 72

• Fleet of trucks.

You are not locked into specific questions as you are with our competitors programs. You can add topics and items or change the ones that come with the program at anytime. If there are code changes you do not need to purchase another program or update. You can simply make changes to the topic and items. Nothing is written in stone. The Inspector is totally flexible solution to inspecting anything.

The Inspector is a complete solution. We have estimating, inspections, scheduling, form letters, work/repair orders, accounts receiveable and job costing all in one package. You do not need to have several different programs everything is in one easy to use package.

The Inspector uses drag and drop similar to windows explorer. What could be easier?

We invented the idea of using a PDA for inspections many years ago before our competition was even in business. The time for PDA inspection has come and gone. The technology is obsolete and has been replaced with much more efficient devices. The new devices are so advanced you only need to talk to your computer and the text will appear. You can write on the screen in your own hand writing and your writing will be changed to text. The UMPC we offer has many advance technologies; including GPS (Global Positioning System), Finger Print Reader and a built in Camera. It supports all of the wireless standards and Blue Tooth. It is a real computer not a toy PDA. It has USB2 built in so there are unlimited devices available. The good news is that UMPC costs less than $1000.00. The overall size is similar to a paper back book, maybe a little longer. So stop playing with toys and get into the current century. The Inspector is designed to take advantage of these new devices.

We have no record limitations in our programs. You may have as many clients as you desire. The competition limits you based on price. We have only one price.

We license our software per office up to ten users provided that we deal with the same person each time for technical support. Ask our competition how much it costs for a ten user office. Make sure you are sitting down. We have been in fire protection business since 1971. TFDSI opened it doors in 1980  (27 years ago)! Ask our competition how long there company has been in business.  We will be in business when you need us. Can you say that about the competition.
