Paper for every system,
complete before handover
Sprinklers, hose reels, hydrants, detection, extinguishers, gaseous suppression: each system needs its type approval, test reports, installation records and delivery notes before the Fire Services Department will accept it. materialpro keeps the procurement trail behind every item, so assembling the pack is no scavenger hunt.

Six systems, six stacks of paper
Same trade, but every system buys different material and needs different documents in the pack.

An illustration of what a handover pack should look like. Delivery notes map to materialpro's receiving records; how the other documents sit alongside your procurement records is something we can work through with you in a demo.
From delivery to acceptance
Every batch needs a traceable origin
The papers most often missing from a pack are the earliest ones: who supplied it, when it arrived, how much was received. That part is covered by the procurement record.
Statutory certificates are issued by the registered fire service installation contractor as required. materialpro does not replace any certificate and does not file anything with a government department for you.
Select and quote
Request quotes from several suppliers against the specified model, compare them side by side, then convert the chosen one into a PO that goes through approval.

Issue and install
Material moves from the store to site; every issue and return posts to the ledger, so what went out and what came back can be checked against the contractor's installation record.

Where packs leak
Four things fire contractors keep running into
“Right before the inspection we find one delivery note is missing.”
Delivery notes are photographed at receiving and matched to the PO. Which batch, which model, when it arrived: one look at the PO.
Handled byDelivery receiving
“Sprinkler heads and valves come in several brands. Which quote actually matches the spec?”
Put the specified model in the request; AI helps read each supplier's quotation and lines them up so a changed brand or spec stands out.
Handled byRFQ · quote comparison
“We took a few boxes of sprinkler heads up. Nobody remembers how many are left.”
Set each site up as its own warehouse. Issues, returns and transfers post line by line to the stock ledger, so what is left and what is short can be counted.
Handled byMulti-warehouse stock
“The supplier invoiced two more valves than we ever received.”
Invoices are checked against the PO and the receiving record; quantity and price variances are listed for your review before payment.

FAQ
What fire services contractors ask first
Will materialpro issue FS251 or file documents with the Fire Services Department?
No. Statutory certificates are issued by the registered fire service installation contractor as required. materialpro does not replace any certificate and does not file anything with a government department for you. It handles procurement, receiving and stock records so every batch has a traceable origin.
Can type approvals and test reports be stored in materialpro?
materialpro manages the procurement chain: requisitions, quotes, POs, delivery notes, receipts and invoices, which are the records that trace where each batch came from. How type approvals and test reports sit alongside those records is something we can discuss around your own process in a demo.
How are small items like sprinkler heads and valves checked on receipt?
Site staff photograph the delivery note, AI extracts items and quantities and matches the PO, and shortfalls or variances are listed straight away. Balances can be viewed by site or warehouse.
We have several fire systems on one project. Can costs be split?
Set cost codes on each project and assign POs, receipts and invoices to the right project and code. Sprinklers, alarms and gaseous suppression can then be viewed separately by code.
Can suppliers submit quotes directly?
Yes. You send the request to several suppliers, they submit quotes through a link, and you compare them side by side before converting the chosen one into a PO.
