Migrate your Uptick data
Cloud-based FSM platform purpose-built for fire protection contractors, managing assets, service schedules, quotes, and compliance documentation at scale.
In its favor
Why people choose Uptick
The signal that keeps Uptick on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Industry-specific design built for fire protection — Asset Types, Variants, and servicing standards are pre-modeled, eliminating the need to configure a generic job-management tool from scratch.
Strong customer service reputation — multiple Capterra and G2 reviews cite responsive, solution-focused support staff who help teams use the platform to its fullest potential.
Photo documentation in defect quotes and service reports — technicians attach images directly to reports, which clients find easy to associate with failures and compliance gaps.
Asset lifecycle management with service-history tracking — fire extinguisher serial numbers, inspection dates, and compliance status are linked to each asset record, supporting regulatory workflows.
Enterprise-grade security with 99.95% uptime SLA — ISO 27001-aligned security and penetration testing meet the requirements of government and banking clients in the fire protection sector.
Long implementation timelines — competitors cite 2+ months to onboard versus 1–2 weeks for newer alternatives, creating friction for teams wanting faster time-to-value.
Per-user pricing adds up for large field crews — several reviews note the cost per technician seat is higher than expected, especially for businesses with seasonal spikes in headcount.
Occasional software bugs and stability issues — some users report the platform is buggy at times, with resolution speed varying by support ticket.
Limited API documentation for custom integrations — third-party developers and power users find the public API surface area poorly documented compared to competitors.
Migrating away requires manual CSV exports — there is no self-service bulk export tool for all data types simultaneously, making outbound migration time-consuming.

Pricing tiers
Uptick pricing overview
Uptick uses per-user, per-month subscription pricing with annual commitment. Enterprise onboarding is priced separately at $10,000 for basic setup and $17,000 for the plus tier, which includes SSO configuration, custom deck templates, and train-the-trainer sessions. Telemetry (technician location tracking) is an additional paid add-on, billed per technician. Exact per-user rates are not publicly published and require a sales conversation.

What gets migrated
Uptick object support
Object-by-object support for Uptick migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Assets
Fully supportedAssets are fire protection equipment records (e.g., fire extinguisher at front door) linked to a property. Each Asset belongs to an Asset Type and may have Variants. We migrate Assets with their serial numbers, location descriptions, service history, and last-inspection dates. The Asset Type association is preserved as a foreign-key reference in the destination.
Asset Types
Fully supportedAsset Types group assets sharing the same servicing standard (e.g., all fire extinguishers share one servicing standard). We carry Asset Type names and their associated servicing-rule configurations to ensure that migrated Assets land under the correct type in the destination system.
Variants
Mapping requiredVariants are sub-types of an Asset (e.g., 2.5kg ABE fire extinguisher versus 4.5kg ABE). We map Variant names and link them to their parent Asset Type. Where the destination does not support Variants as a distinct concept, we flatten them into custom fields on the Asset record.
Products
Mapping requiredProducts are materials, labour, equipment, subcontracted items, or expenses used on jobs and quotes. Each has a Name, Type code (M/R/E/S/X), Cost Price, Default Sell Price, and Unit of Measure. We map these fields but flag that Cost Price and Estimated Time fields may require re-alignment with the destination's pricing structure.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs are work orders dispatched to technicians, covering inspection, repair, or callout tasks. We migrate Job records including assigned technician, property reference, status, and dates. Photos attached to Job reports are exported as media references.
Quotes
Fully supportedQuotes are client-facing proposals generated from Products, linked to a customer account and property. We preserve Quote line items, pricing, and any embedded photo documentation included in the quote.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoices are generated from completed Jobs and Quotes. We migrate Invoice records including line items, amounts, and payment status. We note that payment status may need validation against the destination's accounting or billing model.
Customers / Contacts
Fully supportedCustomer accounts in Uptick contain contact information linked to Properties and Assets. We map Customer records including name, address, phone, email, and any associated notes. Custom fields on customer records are mapped as key-value pairs.
Properties / Locations
Fully supportedProperties represent physical sites where Assets are installed. We migrate Property records including address, property type, and linked Asset inventory. The property-to-asset relationship is preserved as a foreign-key linkage in the destination.
Technicians / Users
Mapping requiredTechnicians are field users who receive Job assignments. User records include name, role, and (if enabled) telemetry consent. We map technician assignments to Jobs and preserve role-based permissions where the destination supports role-based access control.
Documents / Photos
Mapping requiredUptick stores documents and photos attached to Assets, Jobs, and Quotes (e.g., defect photos in reports). We export these as media file references and associated metadata. File storage locations are mapped to a media export folder for re-upload to the destination.
Telemetry Data
Not in this platformTechnician location tracking (Telemetry) is an optional paid add-on that requires explicit per-technician consent. It is off by default. We do not migrate Telemetry data as it is transient, consent-gated, and not core to operational records. If required, customers should export this directly from the Uptick dashboard before migration.
