TradieTally is estimating and job management software for Australian security technicians: it prices CCTV, alarm, intercom and access control jobs from your real costs, shows the profit before you send, and manages installs, annual service visits and invoicing with Xero sync.
The problems security technicians tell us about
- Camera, NVR and hard drive prices move, and your old quote template doesn't.
- Forgetting the PoE switch, the bigger drive or the junction boxes, and wearing the cost on the job.
- Counting cameras on a site visit, then writing the quote up at 10pm anyway.
- Annual service visits that slip because nobody is tracking when they're due.
- Multi-site customers whose history is spread across emails, texts and three spreadsheets.

What should software for security technicians handle?
Software for security technicians has to cope with hardware-heavy quotes, customers with more than one site, and work that comes back every year. Most job management apps are built for plumbers and sparkies and treat security as an afterthought. TradieTally was built by a security technician who quotes this work himself.
- Hardware and labour line items with margin shown before you send
- Inventory with SKUs, reorder levels and low-stock alerts for cameras, NVRs and drives
- Multi-site customer locations with full job history
- Recurring schedules for annual service visits
- Field app for technicians with checklists, photos and timesheets
Price hardware-heavy jobs without giving the margin away
On security work the hardware can be most of the price, so a few dollars of supplier increase quietly eats your profit. TradieTally links materials to suppliers with pricing history, warns you when costs push a quote below your target margin, and shows the profit before the quote leaves.
In one example from the app, an intercom replacement charged at $1,783.92 inc GST carried $1,064.56 in costs and returned $557.18 profit, a 34% margin. See how that's built on the security estimating software page, or read how to quote a CCTV installation.
Smart Bundles for the security jobs you quote every week
TradieTally includes five security Smart Bundles: 4-camera CCTV, alarm install, intercom, access control door and annual service visit. Each one carries your standard hardware, cable allowance and labour, so a site visit turns into a priced quote in minutes.
Change the camera count, swap the NVR or add another door, and the totals update as you go. See a security quote built on site from start to send.
Installs, service visits and multi-site customers in one place
Every accepted quote becomes a job with its budget attached, and every job sits under the right customer and site. Set up recurring schedules for annual service visits so they land on the calendar instead of in someone's memory.
Technicians see their jobs on their phone, log time, run checklists and take photos of the rack and camera views for next time. More detail on the job management software for security companies page.
Who built TradieTally for the security trade?
TradieTally was founded by Jayson Conceicao, an electrician and security technician who runs his own electrical and security contracting business in Queensland. In his words: "I didn't lose jobs because my work wasn't good enough. I lost them because my quote turned up three days after someone else's."
That's why the product is estimating-first, with job management built in. You can read more on the about page.

TradieTally for security technicians: FAQs
Is TradieTally suitable for small CCTV and alarm businesses?
Yes. It was built for owner-operators and small crews who quote, install and service their own work. A one-person business can run on the Solo plan at $79 a month inc GST, and a crew can move to the Team plan when they hire.
Can I store several sites under one security customer?
Yes. TradieTally supports multi-site customer locations, so a business with a warehouse, an office and a retail store sits under one customer. Each job is linked to the right site, and the full history stays on the customer record.
Who built TradieTally and do they know the security trade?
TradieTally was built by Jayson Conceicao, an electrician and security technician who runs his own electrical and security contracting business. The security Smart Bundles, including 4-camera CCTV, intercom and access control door, come from the jobs he quotes himself.
Can TradieTally track the cameras and NVRs I keep in stock?
Yes. Inventory tracks each item with a SKU, quantity, reorder level and stock location, and alerts you when stock runs low. Field staff can also book stock on and off the van against a job.
Does TradieTally handle data cabling work as well as security?
Yes. Data cabling is priced with the same labour and material line items, and you can save your standard network point as a Smart Bundle. Many security installers quote the cabling and the cameras on the same quote.
What does TradieTally cost for a security company with two installers?
As of October 2026, the Team plan is $99 a month inc GST for you plus one user, and each extra user is $20 a month. You plus two installers comes to $119 a month. See the pricing page for annual options.
