Frequently Asked Questions

How do I schedule preventive maintenance for automated barriers?

Create recurring maintenance jobs per barrier or gate unit. The system auto-generates work orders on your chosen interval and alerts the assigned engineer ahead of the visit.

Can I track each barrier unit's service history individually?

Yes. Each barrier is an asset with its own record — including install date, motor type, fault log, and every service action carried out, accessible from office or mobile.

How do technicians log fault codes during a gate automation call-out?

Engineers complete a digital job form on their phone, selecting fault codes from a preset list or entering custom notes. The data is saved to the job and asset record instantly.

Can I manage access control system integrations within the same job?

Yes. Add multiple task types to one job — barrier repair, intercom check, loop detector test — and assign each to the appropriate technician or log them as a single visit.

How do I handle emergency barrier failures at car parks overnight?

Out-of-hours jobs can be raised via mobile or a customer portal. The on-call engineer is notified immediately with full site and asset details so response time is minimised.

Can clients track the status of their barrier repair call-out?

Yes. Send clients an automated link showing job status, technician name, and live ETA. This reduces inbound calls and keeps site managers informed without manual updates.

What is the cost of gate automation service management software?

Pricing starts at $5 per employee per month. Teams of 1–2 employees get full access for free. All new accounts include a 55-day free trial — no payment details needed upfront.
