Who you are · Controllers · Fire & life safety
Whoever holds a fire and life-safety shop’s books (controller, bookkeeper, the owner’s spouse at a kitchen table) inherits every gap between the field and the ledger. The product’s job is to close those gaps at the source.

The chair’s real problems
The deposit doesn’t match anything
A lump lands in the bank and someone spends Thursday guessing which invoices it contains.
Double entry, double error
Work keyed into field software and again into the accounting file drifts twice, and you own the drift.
The software bill wanders
Per-seat licenses, surprise tiers, usage overages: a line item you have to re-audit every quarter.
The work
01
The inspection cycle
Annuals, semi-annuals, and monthlies per property, scheduled from the record, with photos, findings, and signatures captured where the equipment hangs.
02
The deficiency
A failed head or a dead battery becomes a quote before the tech leaves the site, and a scheduled repair the moment the building approves it.
03
The service call
Trouble signals and damaged equipment between cycles, dispatched with the property’s full inspection history in the tech’s hand.
What the record hands you
One-way posting, on purpose
Thorbis posts to QuickBooks; the books stay in QuickBooks. One direction means one source of truth to audit.
The bridge →Deposits that itemize
Payouts trace to the invoices inside them. Reconciliation is a check, not an investigation.
Money →A bill you can predict
The posted company price plus metered usage you can see: no per-seat math, no quarter-end surprise.
The quote →The old way
The paper trail is the product
This trade sells documentation. When it lives in binders and truck cabs, the thing you sell is the thing you cannot find.
Deficiencies die in the truck
A finding that never becomes a quote is revenue left on the wall, and a hazard left with your company’s name on the tag.
The cycle slips
A missed annual is a lost contract and an exposed building. Due dates belong on a board, not in someone’s head.
The day, from this chair
9:00
The match, confirmed
Yesterday’s payout against its invoices: minutes, because the itemization came with it.
11:30
The exception, alone
One job that didn’t post cleanly, flagged, instead of a full-ledger hunt for silent drift.
16:00
The close, boring
Month-end without the shoebox: the field data arrived structured, so the close is arithmetic.
Straight answers
Does the controller cost a seat?
No. $99 is the company, not the seat. Every chair on this page is included, from the owner to the newest tech, and a hire changes the crew rather than the software bill.
Can we bring our fire and life-safety records?
CSV and Excel, Documents, The API: we map the columns and read what we can, with a dry run you inspect before anything is live. What we cannot take stays a limit you can see.
