Migration Guide

Migrate from ServiceTrade to FireLog

Move from ServiceTrade's general field service platform to FireLog's purpose-built fire protection inspection software — with NFPA templates, deficiency tracking, and unlimited users.

Total migration time: ~36 minutes

Step-by-Step Migration

Follow these steps to move your inspection data to FireLog.

1

Export your ServiceTrade data

~10 min

Go to ServiceTrade Settings and export your customer records, service history, and asset data. Download as CSV for bulk import.

2

Create your FireLog account

~3 min

Sign up for a free 14-day trial. No credit card required. Select your fire protection specialties during onboarding.

3

Import customer buildings

~5 min

Upload your ServiceTrade CSV export. FireLog maps customer names, building addresses, system types, and service history automatically.

4

Configure NFPA templates

~5 min

ServiceTrade uses generic service checklists. FireLog includes pre-built NFPA 25 (sprinkler), NFPA 72 (fire alarm), and NFPA 96 (kitchen hood) templates.

5

Set up inspection schedules

~10 min

Configure quarterly, semi-annual, and annual inspection schedules per NFPA code requirements. FireLog auto-generates the schedule based on system types.

6

Invite your team

~3 min

Add technicians, office staff, and managers. Unlike ServiceTrade's per-user pricing, FireLog includes unlimited users on every plan.

Migration FAQ

Common questions about switching from ServiceTrade.

ServiceTrade handles more than fire protection. Will I need another tool?

FireLog is purpose-built for fire protection inspections. If you also do HVAC, plumbing, or other trades, you may keep ServiceTrade for those — but for fire inspection compliance, FireLog is more thorough.

ServiceTrade's proposal features are important to us. Does FireLog have that?

Yes. FireLog generates repair proposals directly from deficiency findings — with photos, code references, and pricing. It's a deficiency-to-proposal pipeline that ServiceTrade can't match for fire-specific work.

Is FireLog cheaper than ServiceTrade?

For fire protection teams, typically yes. ServiceTrade charges per user and adds up quickly. FireLog is a flat monthly rate with unlimited users, unlimited buildings, and unlimited inspections.

Can I migrate mid-contract with ServiceTrade?

Yes. Start your 14-day trial and run both systems in parallel. Switch fully to FireLog at your next ServiceTrade renewal.
