- The completed report includes a certificate for the client, a printable record for the logbook, and it's all emailed automatically at the end of the service.
- We can tell a client all the detail about any extinguishers they own, including service and replacement date and even a picture of it if you want.
- Reports can be generated to advise how many extinguishers are to be replaced in a set period for budgeting or purchasing needs.
