A New Benchmark in Fire Door Compliance
Automate©The Complete Fire DoorManagement Operating System
Manage manufacturing, installation, inspections, workforce operations and Golden Thread compliance in one connected platform.
Unlimited doors, projects and inspections with permanent Golden Thread compliance built in — plus a fully integrated Parts Catalogue, Workshop & Install Controller, Testing Centre, and secure employee document vault and much more, all included as standard.
Designed to align with the UK Building Safety Act and Golden Thread principles, enabling fully traceable, audit-ready fire door lifecycle records from manufacture through to inspection and maintenance.
The Fire Door Industry Doesn't Have a Software Problem.
It Has a Data Problem.
Every fire door generates information throughout its lifetime. Surveys, quotations, manufacturing records, installation evidence, inspections, remedial works, certificates and compliance documentation are often created in separate systems by different teams.
The result is duplicated administration, inconsistent records and unnecessary risk.
Automate replaces disconnected workflows with one continuously connected record — ensuring every action contributes to a permanent Golden Thread for every door.
Fire Door Software Built for the Full Lifecycle
Automate is a powerful Fire Door Software designed to manage the complete lifecycle of every fire door. As a Fire Door Operating System, it connects manufacture, installation and inspection into one structured platform — ensuring full compliance and traceability from order through to ongoing inspections.
Manufacture
Parts catalogue, workshop controller, fabrication records and quality documentation — all tracked from day one.
Unlike traditional fire door software that focuses only on inspections, Automate provides a complete system — combining fire door design software and fire door manufacturing software with inspection tools — for managing fire doors across every stage, from fabrication and parts tracking through to installation evidence and compliance records.
Trusted by professional fire door installers, manufacturers and compliance teams across the UK — built by a fire door software company that lives and breathes the trade.

A Complete Fire Door Operating System
Automate is not just another fire door software platform. It is a Fire Door Operating System from a fire door software company built by the trade — supporting contractors, inspectors and manufacturers working across fire door compliance and passive fire protection.
Not just inspection software
Most fire door tools only cover inspections. Automate is a Fire Door Operating System that manages the entire lifecycle — from fabrication through to ongoing compliance.
One record per door, forever
Every team — manufacturers, installers and inspectors — works within the same door record. Nothing is lost, duplicated or siloed across disconnected systems.
QR-coded Golden Thread
Scan any door to instantly access its complete history. Building control, auditors and facilities teams get permanent, verifiable compliance evidence on demand.
Each fire door is assigned a unique QR code, creating a permanent Golden Thread of information — instant access to a complete history of the door, including manufacture details, installation records and inspection outcomes.
Built for workshop + site teams
Fire-door manufacturers & workshops
Production managers, factory staff, and assembly teams who need consistent build specs and certification tracking.
Installation & remedial contractors
Site installers, project managers, and remedial teams who need RAMS, handover packs, and on-site compliance records.
Managing agents & compliance teams
Duty holders, building managers, and compliance officers who need audit trails, inspection schedules, and Golden Thread evidence.
Automate replaces spreadsheets, PDFs, email trails and disconnected apps with one defensible golden-thread system per door.

A Faster Way To Inspect Fire Doors
Automate has moved beyond traditional questionnaire-driven inspections. Inspectors simply inspect the physical door while the fire door inspection software manages the logic — a workflow designed to significantly reduce inspection time while improving consistency.
Component-based, not questionnaire-based
Inspectors assess the door part by part with smart defaults. Automate asks only relevant questions and reveals detail progressively, reducing cognitive load.
Grouped evidence capture
Photos and findings are organised against the right components as you go — so nothing is missed and reports build themselves.
Automatic report generation
A complete, consistent inspection report is produced the moment you finish — linked to the permanent QR door record.
Reuse Doors. Don't Rebuild Them.
Most fire door businesses configure the same door constructions again and again — project after project.
With the Door Library, completed door configurations are saved as reusable, approved templates. Manufacturing specifications, components and certification requirements carry across projects — so quoting is instant and production stays consistent.
Admin control without slowing the team
Role-based permissions keep your pricing secure while your field teams stay focused on what matters—installation and evidence capture.
Pricing, procurement and quoting visible to admins only
Control who sees margins, supplier costs, and pricing logic—keep operations secure.
Team members focus on delivery, capture evidence, complete tasks
Field teams see what they need: jobs, doors, checklists, and evidence capture—no distractions.
Audit trail + controlled outputs
Every action logged, every document controlled—know who did what, when, and why.
Security & compliance built-in
Role-based access ensures sensitive pricing and procurement tools stay admin-only, while team members stay focused on delivery.
Role-based access
Control what each team member can see and do
Audit trails
Complete history of changes and actions
Secure data handling
Enterprise-grade security and encryption
Certifications and memberships shown apply where held by the operating company and may vary by scope (installation, inspection, maintenance) and location. Standards and regulatory references (e.g., BS 8214, Approved Document B, Golden Thread) describe the frameworks we work to; they are not yet endorsements by the issuing bodies.
Manage Every Fire Door from Manufacture to Inspection
Managing fire doors across disconnected systems creates risk, inefficiency and compliance gaps. Automate eliminates this by bringing every stage of the lifecycle into one platform — including a mobile fire door inspection app for on-site surveys and assessments.
All data is connected to a single fire door record, ensuring full traceability and audit readiness. Explore our dedicated pages for fire door installer software, fire door inspection software and fire door manufacturing software.
