For low-voltage installers
Phase the install. Order the parts. Pass the inspection.
Low-voltage work is projects with a rough-in, a trim-out and a sign-off, plus the service calls that follow. Rundown schedules the phases, tracks the parts and keeps the permit status in view.
The problem
Where generic tools leave you on your own.
- 01
One job, several crews and weeks
Rough-in happens before the ceiling closes. Devices and programming come weeks later. A single calendar block does not describe that.
- 02
Permits and inspections cause the slips
The electrical permit, the fire review and the inspection date decide when you finish, and they usually live in a notebook.
- 03
Distributor pricing moves
Prices vary by account and change often. Quotes built on last quarter's cost eat the margin.
How Rundown fits
What changes when the software knows your trade.
Install projects in segments
Rough-in, hardware, devices, programming and commissioning as separate segments, each with its own crew, day and reminder.
SchedulingPermit and inspection tracking
Permit records by jurisdiction and type, with status from needed through passed. Inspections are visits on the calendar.
Openings and complianceCurrent cost on every line
Live pricing from your ADI and Wesco accounts, with history and alerts when a part moves.
Price book and vendorsParts-aware scheduling
The job's parts chip tells dispatch whether the material is waiting, partial or ready.
SchedulingService plans
Recurring maintenance visits with a task list, billed per visit or on a subscription.
Openings and compliance
A fair warning: Rundown's asset record is the opening. If most of your work is cameras, structured cabling or audio-visual with no doors involved, the scheduling, estimating, purchasing and billing all still apply, but the door-specific parts will matter less to you.
Questions
Rundown for low voltage.
Is Rundown only for door work?
No, but it is designed around it. Scheduling, estimates, purchase orders, invoicing and automations work for any install trade. The opening record, the life-safety matrix and hardware schedule import are specific to doors.
Which distributors are supported for live pricing?
ADI, Wesco, Banner and IML, using your own account logins. You can add other vendors and maintain their costs in the price book.
