Don't send a tech to certify a fire alarm test his NICET cert no longer covers.
Fire and life-safety work turns on a credential the authority having jurisdiction actually checks: a NICET certification, Level I through IV, held by the individual technician who inspects, tests, or certifies a fire alarm or sprinkler system, plus the state fire-protection contractor license the company operates under. NICET certifications renew on a three-year cycle tied to continuing professional development, and an AHJ can reject a test report signed by a technician whose certification has lapsed.
The way a shop usually finds out is at the worst moment: an inspection report bounced because the certifying technician's NICET level expired, a building owner's insurer asking for proof of a current certification the office can't produce, or a state board flagging a contractor-license renewal that slipped past its date. By then it's a re-inspection and a delayed occupancy, not an administrative note.
Expiry radar for certifications and licenses
NICET certifications, state fire-protection contractor licenses, and any manufacturer or OSHA cards each carry their own renewal date, and NICET's three-year cycle rides on continuing professional development that takes time to log. CertFleet watches all of them and reminds the technician weeks ahead, leaving time to bank the CPD points before an inspection gets scheduled, not after.
Magic-link uploads from the field
A fire alarm tech renews a NICET certification between service calls, texts a photo of the certificate through a magic link from the job, and it's filed. No login, no app to install, no certificate lost between the field and the office.
OCR extraction
Certification numbers, NICET level, work element, and expiry dates on a certificate or contractor license are read automatically, so an admin confirms the read instead of transcribing it from a photo.
Review workflows
Every credential is approved or rejected by a person, with a reason and a timestamp, so the technician signing off an inspection has a certification someone has actually confirmed is current at the right level.
E-signatures
Safety acknowledgements and site-specific fire-protection requirements get signed from a phone and filed with the rest of the technician's record.
Audit exports
When an AHJ, a building owner's insurer, or a state board asks for proof, generate a tamper-evident PDF binder showing each technician's current certifications instead of digging through certificate PDFs.
