Track every install bid and monitoring renewal in one pipeline. Built for small alarm, camera, smart-lock, and security consulting businesses where the recurring revenue is what pays the rent.

You quoted a commercial install three weeks ago, the security director went quiet, and you have no system telling you when to nudge before the bid expires
Monthly monitoring renewals slip silently because nobody owns the 60-day-out conversation -- by the time you notice, the customer already shopped you
Post-install upsells (more cameras, smart locks, additional monitored zones) never happen because there's no trigger to reach out 90 days after the install

Security Company
Run an alarm, video, access-control, and monitoring business in one pipeline. Track prospects from site assessment through install to active monitoring and renewal - built for security integrators, alarm dealers, and guard-service owners.
+2 more stages
RadiusOS gives small security businesses a single pipeline that handles both the install sale AND the recurring monitoring book. New leads flow through site walks, proposals, contracts, and installs. Walk & Talk turns the on-site assessment into a structured record -- photograph the entry points, camera locations, panel placement, and existing wiring while you talk through the proposed system, and the recap, photos, and follow-up tasks land on the customer record before you leave the parking lot. After install, customers move into Active Monitoring where AI flags them at 60-90 days before renewal -- the exact window where you should be pre-empting the rate-shopping conversation. Email templates handle proposal follow-ups, install confirmations, post-install upsell outreach, and renewal nudges so the recurring revenue compounds instead of churning.

How this pipeline works
New Lead
Inbound call, referral, or website request for a quote. Security buyers are usually shopping after a break-in, a near-miss, or a compliance trigger -- urgency is real. Get the site walk on the calendar within 48 hours.
Site Walk
On site assessing entry points, existing wiring, and customer priorities. Take photos and log access notes so the proposal is accurate and the install crew arrives prepared. Pitch the monitoring plan during the walk, not after.
Proposal Sent
Bid is out -- equipment, install, and the monthly monitoring contract. Most security proposals are won or lost in the 5-7 days after sending. Follow up by phone, not just email -- security buyers want to talk to a person.
Contract Signed
Agreement signed and deposit collected. Schedule the install and send a confirmation with what to expect on install day. Log the contract length and renewal date now so the renewal stage isn't a scramble.
Installing
Crew on site. Log start and finish, take photos of the final layout, and walk the customer through every keypad and camera before you leave. First-week support drives whether they renew at year one.
Active Monitoring
Live customer paying monthly. Schedule a 90-day post-install check-in for upsells (extra cameras, smart locks, expanded zones) and an annual review. This is the stage where recurring revenue either compounds or churns silently.
Renewal Due
60-90 days before contract end. Reach out before the customer starts rate-shopping. Lead with what's changed (new threats, new tech, new add-ons) instead of just asking for a renewal signature -- gives them a reason to stay.
Closed Lost
Either the install bid lost or the monitoring customer churned. Log why -- price, response time, technology gap, support complaints. Lost monitoring customers occasionally come back when the cheap alternative fails. Keep them in pipeline for a 6-month follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best CRM for security companies?
The best security-company CRM handles both the install sale and the recurring monitoring book in one pipeline. RadiusOS has stages built for site walks, contracts, installs, and renewals, with AI scoring that flags renewal conversations 60-90 days out. Free to start, $39/mo Business unlocks unlimited contacts and AI drafts.
Is there security business pipeline software that handles recurring monitoring?
Most general-purpose CRMs treat every contact as a one-time deal. RadiusOS lets you keep monitoring customers in an Active Monitoring stage with renewal dates on every card, so recurring revenue is visible and proactive renewal outreach becomes a habit instead of a fire drill.
Bold Group / AlarmBiller alternative for small security companies?
Bold Group, AlarmBiller, and ManageMore are full alarm-industry platforms -- billing, central station, dispatch, the whole stack -- and they cost accordingly. RadiusOS doesn't replace your central station or billing system; it's the customer relationship layer on top, much cheaper, focused on the install pipeline and renewal book.
How do small monitoring services manage customer relationships?
Small monitoring services usually manage customers in spreadsheets or whatever the central-station portal provides -- both fail at relationship outreach. RadiusOS adds a pipeline, AI follow-up reminders, email templates for renewal and upsell outreach, and a 90-day post-install nudge so customers feel cared for, not just billed.
