Free for fire departments. Forever.
Replaces First Due, IROL/TCE, Lexipol Live Safe, and Inspect Point at $0/year for your department. Same canonical record the contractors who serve your jurisdiction already use.
Guspora is the business operating system for the trades — six suites that share one record so the field, the office, and the AHJ are looking at the same job.
Twelve capabilities. One workspace. No tier gates.
Every capability below is part of the donated AHJ tier. There is no upgrade path to unlock them; they are the platform.
Inspection and compliance
AHJ inspection workflow
Review submissions from contractors with AHJ-side annotation, formal acceptance or rejection, and a calendar of upcoming jurisdictional inspection deadlines.
Community inspections
Schedule, perform, and capture findings for inspections your department runs directly. Code citations under the jurisdiction’s adopted edition. Property Relationship Graph notifies every party with rights.
Violation lifecycle
Track active violations across the jurisdiction by deadline, property, responsible party, and code section. Re-inspection workflow when remediation is reported.
Permitting
Permit applications, plan review, fee assessment, issuance, expiration tracking, certificate of occupancy, and a historical record with the full document trail.
Pre-incident planning
Building information for first responders: hazardous-material inventories, occupant counts for schools and hospitals, contact information for owners and managers, suppression system documentation, water supply, access.
Hydrant management
Hydrant inventory, inspection scheduling, flow testing, maintenance tracking, mapping for first-responder access, water main pressure documentation.
Department operations
NFIRS submission
Capture, validate, and submit NFIRS-required fields with casualty reporting, property loss, and cause investigation documentation.
Shift scheduling
Personnel scheduling for shifts, station assignments, apparatus, mutual aid coverage, vacation and time-off, callback and overtime, certifications per shift, daily roster.
Training LMS
Required training assignment by certification, completion tracking, renewal tracking, continuing-education hours, instructor credentials, training-facility coordination.
Incident command
Real-time incident management, resource tracking, personnel accountability, NIMS-compliant ICS forms, after-action reporting, post-incident review.
Fire investigations
Origin and cause investigation documentation, evidence chain of custody, witness statements, photo documentation, lab analysis tracking, court testimony preparation.
Community connect
Public-facing website integration, community education resource publishing, public safety announcements, smoke detector and child safety seat programs, public records request handling.
Free is a property of the architecture, not a marketing offer.
Contractor-side suite revenue funds the platform. Fire departments use the same canonical record contractors and building owners use, scoped to the jurisdiction. The cost of serving an AHJ is already absorbed by the contractor side -- so the AHJ side is free as a structural consequence, not a sales decision.
That changes the moat. First Due, IROL/TCE, Lexipol Live Safe, and Inspect Point cannot match $0 while sustaining their cost structure. They are department-paid software competing against a department-free structural property.
The platform was built by the founder of Ferguson Fire Protection LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business in Bardstown, Kentucky. Federal and grant-funded departments that weight SDVOSB sourcing in their procurement decisions can reference the founder lineage. Federal certifications belong to FFP, not to Guspora LLC; the lineage is the relevant signal for procurement.
Department-paid software up against a department-free architecture.

Detailed competitor comparisons live on the dedicated comparison pages. This table is the AHJ-side summary.
When the contractor and the AHJ are on the same record, the moat is the architecture.
Three parties participate in every regulated occupancy: the contractor who maintains the system, the building owner who pays for the work, and the AHJ who enforces the code. The Disclosure Domain in the Guspora core captures consent, scopes access per party, and audits every disclosure event.
When all three are on the platform, an inspection report is one record viewed through three lenses, not three separate copies that drift. Code violations propagate to the responsible contractor and the property owner the moment the AHJ writes them. Plan submittals collaborate live. Disclosure trails withstand audit.
Competitors integrate. Guspora unifies. That is a difference of architecture, not feature count.
Platform access is free. Onboarding, data migration, and training are professional services scoped and priced per department.
The donated platform tier carries every capability above with no upgrade path to unlock features. Departments migrating from First Due, IROL/TCE, Lexipol Live Safe, or Inspect Point typically scope a structured cutover that protects historical records. Migration assistance is quoted per department.
