Win more access control and CCTV work, and keep the monitoring revenue

HelloGrowthCRM tracks commercial security bids, proposals and recurring monitoring renewals for US integrators. Your estimating and project tools stay exactly where they are.

Quick answer

Is this an estimating or design tool for security systems?

No. HelloGrowthCRM does not estimate. It has no parts database for panels, readers, cameras, licences or cabling, it does not calculate labor hours, and it will not perform a takeoff from a Division 28 specification. It is not CAD either, so no riser diagrams and no device layouts. Keep the estimating and design tools you use now. HelloGrowthCRM tracks the sales process wrapped around them: the enquiry, the proposal, the follow-up and the award.

Why this page exists

Commercial security integration runs on two clocks. Project work moves fast and unpredictably: a walkthrough, a scope, a bid, a general contractor who needs numbers by Thursday. Recurring revenue moves slowly and quietly: monitoring, managed access control, video verification, fire alarm inspection agreements that renew whether or not anyone calls the customer. Most integrators manage the first clock in a bid folder and the second in a spreadsheet, and lose money on both. HelloGrowthCRM gives you one pipeline for the deals and one place for the renewals. Enquiries from your site, your phone line and your messaging channels land in a single queue with the referral source recorded. Proposals go out from the quote builder. Reminder sequences make sure the annual inspection call and the renewal conversation actually happen on time.

The honest limits: HelloGrowthCRM is not an estimating package and it is not a CAD or design tool. It does not price panels, readers, cameras and cabling from a parts database, it does not produce riser diagrams or device layouts, and it does not do takeoffs from a Division 28 spec. It is also not a project management system for installs. There is no crew scheduling, no job costing, no change-order workflow, no punch list and no material tracking. Keep your estimating software, your project tool and your accounting system. What HelloGrowthCRM covers is the sales side around them: capturing the enquiry, qualifying it, getting a proposal out, chasing the answer, tracking the referral relationship, and making sure recurring monitoring and inspection agreements come up for renewal on schedule.

Why teams evaluating CRM for security integrators want a simpler system

Bid invitations arrive by email from general contractors and get buried. By the time someone opens the folder, the walkthrough date has passed and the job is quoted by a competitor.

Monitoring and inspection agreements renew on dates nobody tracks. A customer cancels or gets picked off by another integrator, and the first anyone notices is when the recurring revenue stops.

Spec-driven jobs sit dormant for months between design and award. Without a cadence, the architect and the GC forget you were the integrator who helped write the requirements.

Referrals from electrical contractors, GCs, architects and property managers bring in real work, but nobody records the source, so the relationships that matter never get maintained.

Proposals for access control and camera upgrades get rebuilt from old files each time. Nobody can say which quotes are outstanding, or which ones have gone quiet for weeks.

Field techs spot upgrade opportunities on site, an obsolete panel or a failing camera run, and the note dies in a text message that never becomes a sales conversation.

Challenge → solution → result

Common Security System Integrators problems — and how this CRM solves them

Challenge: Bid invitations get buried in a shared inboxSolution: Lead capture from forms, phone and messaging with AI lead scoringResult: The GC gets a same-day response instead of a late one
Challenge: Monitoring agreements lapse without anyone noticingSolution: Recurring reminder sequences set against renewal datesResult: Renewal conversations start before the customer shops around
Challenge: Spec jobs go quiet during long design phasesSolution: Email sequences plus stage ageing on the pipeline dashboardResult: Dormant bids stay visible and get called before award
Challenge: Nobody knows which referral partners drive revenueSolution: Referral-source tracking reported against closed job valueResult: Relationship time goes to the partners actually sending work
Challenge: Field observations never become quotesSolution: Mobile apps for iOS and Android writing into the pipelineResult: Upgrade opportunities reach the quote builder the same day

Bid work, renewal work and referral work each need a different follow-up

A bid invitation needs a same-day phone call, because the GC is calling three integrators and the first credible response usually sets the tone. The dialer handles that, with recording and AI summaries so the scope discussion is captured rather than half-remembered. A spec job that will not be awarded for eight months needs a slow email sequence that keeps your name attached to the requirements you helped shape. A monitoring agreement coming up for renewal needs a reminder that fires weeks ahead, not a scramble after the customer has already talked to someone else. A referral from an electrical contractor needs the source recorded so the relationship gets attention. Same platform, four different rhythms, all visible in one pipeline and on the mobile apps your team already carries into buildings.

How it works

1

Bring every enquiry into one queue

Connect your website forms, phone number and messaging channels. Bid invitations, service calls and referrals from general contractors all land in the same place, tagged with the source that produced them.

2

Set stages for how you really sell

Build a pipeline that matches commercial security work: site walk booked, scope agreed, proposal sent, submitted through the GC, awarded. Each stage shows value and how long a job has been sitting there.

3

Put renewals and long bids on autopilot

Attach recurring reminder sequences to monitoring, managed access and inspection agreements. Attach email and SMS sequences to spec jobs in design. Both keep moving without anyone maintaining a spreadsheet of dates.

4

Quote, close, and hand off to delivery

Send the proposal from the quote builder and track whether it has been opened or answered. Once the job is awarded, your estimating, project management and accounting systems take over as they do today.

Pricing

$12 per user per month, or $10 on annual billing

One flat per-user price. Monthly billing is $12 per user per month and annual billing brings it down to $10 per user per month. The dialer, AI lead scoring, sequences, quote builder, invoicing, mobile apps and dashboards are all included rather than sold as tiers. A free forever plan is available, which is often enough for an owner-operated integrator doing their own selling. Setup takes about 15 minutes, and Growth Engine is there if you want a managed RevOps team running the pipeline instead.
