Does your Security Company Operations Software Maximize the Value of your RMR?

Does your Security Company Operations Software Maximize the Value of your RMR?

There is nothing more important to the value of your business than your monthly recurring revenue (RMR). That value, generally measured as a multiple of the RMR, can be significantly impacted by the quality of the records related to the RMR and its contracts. That is where your operations software can make a big difference.

The value of your RMR can be significantly impacted by:

  • The retention over time (reducing terminations)
  • The current and typical accounts receivable (AR) age of your RMR invoices
  • The clarity and accuracy of your RMR reporting, and how that reconciles with your financial statements
  • Covering all of your RMR with customer agreements (See https://www.kirschenbaumesq.com/page/alarm-contract)

Your operations software should help you streamline this process. FieldHub, the industries leading cloud operations and accounting platform, has made the management and reporting of RMR central to their platform. This access and ease of reportability can make a significant difference in your bottom line.

FieldHub helps you manage your RMR to achieve the best value for your business by:

  • Providing reports on your RMR by vendor to reconcile your vendor bills and make sure you have active RMR for all of your central station and interactive service accounts
  • Tying RMR to your signed customer agreements, with the ability to run exception reports to find RMR without a contract on file
  • Providing “RMR Roll forward reports” on demand to easily keep track of your attrition, AR days, and where your RMR is increasing or decreasing
  • Building RMR billing on FieldHub’s robust general ledger platform, which automates deferred revenue structures Automating RMR invoicing and auto-payment, removing much of the headache often associated with batch processing and collections
  • Providing flow engine tools to support integrated workflows for account activations and terminations, helping to keep everything in sync
  • Reducing the number of separate systems, thereby reducing the chances that billing and accounting get out of sync

While there are many products built for the security industry, there are only a few that are all-in-one operations and accounting products — and even fewer that are built on modern web and mobile technologies.

Cybersecurity Insights from FieldHub Build25: What Security Integrators Need to Know

We’re still buzzing from the incredible conversations at FieldHub Build25 in Baltimore. While we spent most of the conference diving deep into platform updates and industry trends, we wanted to do something a little different this year – and it turned out to be one of the most valuable sessions we’ve ever hosted.

We brought together an absolutely stacked panel of cybersecurity experts (their words, but we completely agree): Michael Sussman, who chairs Fenwick’s privacy and cybersecurity practice and was one of the earliest leaders in the field; Laura Galante, former director of the Cyber Threat Integration Center; and Jon Lenzner, former chief of staff to the FBI director. Alexis Serfaty, Director of Geo-Technology at Eurasia Group, moderated what became one of the most engaging and practical security discussions many attendees had ever experienced.

Why We Built FieldHub as an All-in-One Platform: The Hidden Cost of Software Sync

The Sync Problem is (Actually) Worse Than You Think

When Accounting Goes Sideways

Let’s talk about what happens when your field service platform and accounting software decide they’re not on speaking terms anymore. We’ve heard horror stories from the field: double-billing that damages customer relationships, sync failures that require hours of manual data entry, and that sinking feeling when you realize last week’s invoices never made it to your accounting system.

The Hidden Costs of Outdated Software: How FieldHub is Building the Future of Field Service Solutions

After almost two-decades in the field service industry, first running Urban Alarm and now leading FieldHub, I’ve encountered many of the same frustrations that security and fire alarm installers and integrators face when it comes to the software tools they rely on. The lack of ownership, combined with outdated, piecemeal software solutions, has been a persistent issue. This challenge isn’t just about inefficiency and weak support; it’s about the very foundation on which businesses are built—technology.
