Check out our latest reports and customer success stories to see how System Surveyor has helped other companies, including System Integrators, Corporations and Organizations in healthcare, education and the public sector.
System Surveyor helps integrators cut design time, reduce site visit rework, and deliver professional proposals faster. It streamlines site surveys, security system design, and customer collaboration to win more jobs with less manual effort.
Technology directors get accurate digital as-builts, centralized device documentation, and a collaborative platform for teams, vendors, and clients. It improves planning, budgeting, lifecycle management, and long-term system visibility.
Paper plans and spreadsheets require manual drawings, separate photos, and email version control. System Surveyor combines digital floor plans, drag-and-drop devices, photo capture, notes, and real-time sharing in one secure, cloud-based platform.
System Surveyor is purpose-built for physical security and low-voltage systems. It offers mobile field surveys, real-time collaboration, product catalogs, automated BOMs, and branded reports; features generic drawing or CAD tools do not provide.
Teams capture device details during a site survey and finalize layouts instantly, eliminating delays and manual rework. Faster documentation and professional visual proposals help close deals more quickly and improve sales conversions.
Yes. System Surveyor enables secure sharing, commenting, and co-designing with internal teams, vendors, and customers in real time. Everyone works from one accurate, up-to-date design document, reducing confusion and errors.
Real-time planning, photo documentation, and shared digital as-builts reduce miscommunication, change orders, and installation mistakes. Teams maintain a single, accurate source of truth across the system lifecycle.
System integrators typically accelerate design cycles by 50%, improve close rates by 20%, and grow their sales pipeline by 50%. System Surveyor turns security planning into a repeatable, efficient and scalable process.
