Why teams choose traqR

The asset register fire work depends on

Tradify has no asset or maintenance register. Fire protection lives on knowing every FIP, sprinkler valve, hydrant, pump, extinguisher and fire door on a site, so traqR gives each one a QR code, a full service history and a next-due date.

AS 1851 schedules, not generic recurring jobs

traqR raises monthly, six-monthly, yearly and five-yearly routine services straight from the contract against the AS 1851-2012 tables, with test reports, defect capture and AFSS readiness attached.

Every feature on every plan, flat price

Tradify gates timesheets (Pro), and purchase orders, reporting and AI (Plus), and bills per user so costs climb with every hire. traqR is a flat monthly price by team-size band with all of it included.

Switching from Tradify to traqR

  1. STEP 1
    Bring the asset register across

    Export the register from your current system as a spreadsheet and import it from Excel or CSV, including workbooks with several sheets. Columns are matched automatically, and anything that does not match is kept as custom fields or notes.

  2. STEP 2
    Import clients, staff and stock

    Clients come in from CSV, Excel, Numbers or ODS with a preview of every row before anything is added. Staff and stock lists import from spreadsheets too.

  3. STEP 3
    Set up the service contracts

    Build each contract in the guided service contract quote: sites, AS 1851 services and frequencies, pricing and renewal terms. On approval every visit for the term is planned and the invoices are scheduled.

  4. STEP 4
    Tag the assets and start testing

    Print QR tags in your branding, and technicians test against the register in the field app from the first visit.

traqR vs Tradify: FAQ

Is traqR a good alternative to Tradify for fire protection?

Yes, especially for contract maintenance work. traqR matches Tradify’s core quoting, scheduling and invoicing, then adds the fire asset register, AS 1851 routine servicing, AFSS readiness and test reports, with every feature included on every plan instead of gated by tier.

Does traqR charge per user like Tradify?

No. Tradify charges per user per month. traqR uses flat monthly tiers based on team size, so adding staff doesn’t increase your per-seat bill.

Does Tradify handle fire asset registers?

Tradify does not offer asset or maintenance registers. traqR includes a fire asset register covering panels, sprinklers, hydrants, hose reels, pumps, extinguishers, fire doors, dampers and passive fire, each with QR scanning, service history and next-due dates.
