Kitchen Suppression System Inspection Software

Keep Commercial Kitchens Protected without the Paperwork Headache

Commercial cooking fires spread fast, and a missed nozzle or low agent cylinder can be the difference between a scare and a shutdown. NFPA 12 (CO₂), NFPA 17 (dry chemical), NFPA 17A (wet chemical), NFPA 96 (ventilation and hood systems), and UL 300 all require regular inspections. Staying on top of every six-month test, hydrostatic date, and fuse-link replacement is challenging when you juggle hundreds of restaurants, food trucks, and cafeterias. Essential brings every detail into one place so nothing slips through the cracks.

Essential is fire inspection software purpose-built for fire protection companies. The modern, all-in-one software platform streamlines the entire workflow end-to-end from scheduling to mobile inspections and beyond. Field technicians get an intuitive mobile app while office staff handle quotes, invoices, and renewals from an easy-to-use web platform.

Before Essential, we had 4 employees that were overwhelmed with manual work, especially with trying to track and schedule upcoming inspections. Essential's automated email outreach and portal allows customers to easily communicate with us. This program has made it easy to receive approvals effortlessly. We can now better focus on customer service and scheduling.

Schedule smarter technician routes

Finish inspections and reports faster

Automate repetitive busywork

For years, we used an Excel spreadsheet to track inspections and a whiteboard for technician schedules. As we got busier, we knew we needed a better way to operate. After looking at many options, we chose Essential. It was the right choice for us. Essential is nice to use, keeps us organized, and automates things like sending job reminders and emailing customers before inspections are due. It has reduced mistakes and made our work easier.
