Surveys and certs scattered everywhere
System surveys, installation certificates and maintenance records stuck on clipboards, in the van or half-finished at home. Capture them on site and store them against the job.

Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches CCTV and security installers tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
GDPR paperwork keeps catching you out
Every camera install needs DPIA and GDPR compliance records to stay on the right side of the ICO. Complete the right forms on site so the documentation is never the thing that holds up sign-off.
Maintenance contracts slip through the cracks
Annual service visits and alarm maintenance get forgotten until the customer calls. Track every due date and turn one install into a recurring maintenance contract.
Everything CCTV & security installers need in one place
Compliance & certificates
System surveys, installation certificates, DPIAs and GDPR records completed on site — no re-typing at home.
