The Compliance Engine

The Compliance Engine is a cloud-based reporting and tracking system developed by Brycer. Many fire departments and code enforcement agencies use it to manage required fire and life safety inspections, testing, and maintenance (ITM) reports.

Instead of relying on paper copies or scattered emails, the Compliance Engine provides a centralized dashboard where authorities can quickly see:

  • Which buildings are up to date on fire alarm, sprinkler, extinguisher, hood, or fire pump inspections
  • Which systems are overdue, deficient, or uncorrected
  • Which contractors are submitting reports on behalf of building owners

Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs)

Why Fire Companies Upload Reports

When a fire department (or AHJ) adopts the Compliance Engine, contractors like FPS are required to submit inspection and service reports through the system.

 

This process ensures:

  • Accountability – every inspection is properly filed with the AHJ
  • Compliance Tracking – delinquent or unsafe properties are identified quickly
  • Transparency – building owners receive reminders and notices if they fall behind
  • Efficiency – one streamlined system instead of paper reports and multiple emails

 

Example: After FPS completes a fire sprinkler inspection, we don’t just hand over a PDF. We also upload the report into the Compliance Engine, which instantly notifies the AHJ and updates the compliance record.

What’s AHJ? AHJ stands for Authority Having Jurisdiction.

In fire protection, the AHJ is the organization, office, or individual responsible for enforcing fire and building codes in a specific area.

 

Examples of AHJs:

  • Local Fire Marshal or Fire Department
  • Building Official or City Code Enforcement Office
  • State Fire Marshal
  • Insurance authority (in some cases)

So, when we say “reports must be submitted to the AHJ,” it means they must go to whoever enforces the fire code in that jurisdiction (most often the local fire department or fire marshal’s office).

The Trade-Off

For contractors, uploading reports means an extra step and a per-report fee.

 

But for fire marshals and property owners, it’s a game-changer:

  • Compliance rates increase significantly (from ~30% to over 80%)
  • AHJs gain real-time visibility into community fire safety.

 

Properties stay safer and better protected from fire risks
