Built by the technician who got tired of writing reports at midnight.
Cody Ferguson started Guspora to give field technicians their evenings back. The platform exists because, after a decade in fire protection, no tool on the market did the job he and his crew actually needed.
Cody and Cassidy Ferguson, Bardstown, Kentucky.
The reports always came home with you.
Cody spent ten years in fire protection -- crawling under hood lines, crouching behind fire pumps, climbing ladders to suppression nozzles. The work itself was clean. What was not clean was what came after.
After every job, there was a stack of paperwork. Inspection reports, deficiency lists, AHJ submissions, customer invoices, payroll for the helper who came along. Different software for each step, none of them talking to each other. The truck pulled into the driveway around dinnertime and the laptop opened around the time the boys went to bed.
Guspora was the answer to a question Cody had been asking himself for years: what if the inspection report wrote itself while the work was happening, the invoice generated when the report finalized, and the customer portal updated without anyone touching it? What if a technician walked out of a building and the only thing left to do was drive home?
Every word on this site went past Cassidy first.
Cassidy Ferguson reviews everything customer-facing before it ships. Marketing pages, transactional emails, sales decks, social posts -- if it has the Guspora name on it, it crossed her desk. Her job is to catch language that sounds like a machine wrote it and to send it back until it sounds like a person did.
She also rescued Milo on December 10, 2015, one day before he was scheduled to be put down at the county shelter. Most of what is good about this company traces back to her.
Cody and Cassidy. Camden and Colton. Tilly and Tucker.
The boys grew up watching their dad come home late and disappear into a laptop. The dogs grew up watching the door. Tilly and Tucker hold the post now. Milo held it for a decade.
Milo was named the platform because of what he did, not what he was. He watched the family. He caught what mattered. He never missed a thing on his property. The platform tries to do the same job, on a larger property, for people who never had a guardian like him.
Milo passed in October 2025. The home page band carries the dates and the mission line.
The platform began inside the contractor that needed it.
Ferguson Fire Protection LLC is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business in Bardstown, Kentucky. Cody founded it after his service ended. It services kitchen-suppression systems, sprinkler and standpipe ITM, fire alarm, fire doors, smoke and fire dampers, and the rest of the NFPA-governed work that keeps commercial buildings legal to operate.
Guspora started as the internal tool FFP technicians used in the field. It grew until it was bigger than the company it was built inside. On April 17, 2026, it was formally separated and established as Guspora LLC, an independent Kentucky company that licenses the Guspora trademarks from Cody personally and operates as the platform vendor for FFP and every other customer who runs on it.
FFP and Guspora share a founder, an address, and a commitment to the trades. They are otherwise independent companies. FFP keeps its own federal credentials and procurement registrations; Guspora is the software vendor that happens to know exactly what the contractor side needs because it was built there.
Service-Disabled Veteran founder. Stated factually.
Cody is a Service-Disabled Veteran. Ferguson Fire Protection holds the SDVOSB certification on the contractor side; Guspora LLC is a regular Kentucky software company. For federal and grant-funded buyers who weight veteran-owned sourcing, the founder lineage is the signal that connects the two.
That lineage is part of who is building this. It is not a marketing badge. The platform stands on what it does for the field; the SDVOSB framing is here for the buyers who need to know it before procurement says yes.
617 inspection types. 32 trades. One platform.
The trades software market is full of products that handle one slice of one trade. Sprinkler ITM software. Hood cleaning software. Backflow testing software. Plenty of options if a contractor only does one thing.
Real contractors do not work that way. A fire protection company runs sprinkler, alarm, suppression, doors, dampers, extinguishers, and emergency lighting. An HVAC contractor runs rooftop units, chillers, cooling towers, refrigerant management, and indoor air quality. A general contractor coordinates all of them. Every contractor Cody knew was running five tools that did not talk to each other and a spreadsheet to glue them together.
Guspora ships every trade on one record. 617 inspection types, 32 trades, the same engine underneath. If a contractor adds a trade, the platform already has it. If they drop one, the data stays where it was. The point of an operating system is that the apps share the same world; this one finally does.
For the people building the next ten years of trades work
The platform is live. The community is open.
