InimTech Security is the new app from INIM dedicated to professional installers. It is available for free on smartphone and tablet and it allows installers to easily manage their customers and installations. Installers will be able to access the INIM Cloud and supervise their account: after login, alarms and faults on all installations will be readily visible. Moreover, installers will receive push notifications related to alarms and faults even when the app is closed. Events can be stored and installers will be able to call their customers to arrange a meeting. They will have a complete view on BUS peripherals, events, partitions, detectors and outputs. The app lets installers bind a new installation to an existing customer or create a new one, setting e-mail address, telephone number, and installation address to take advanage of our useful geo-localization feature: using the app, installers can quickly locate installations nearby. InimTech Security also shows the installer's picture and his own unique ID for all INIM services.
