Built for the realities of Gas Engineers.

The CP12 calendar runs your year

A gas business lives on annual dates. Every landlord gas safety record starts a twelve-month clock, and when it runs out the landlord needs you again, on time, with the history to hand. Add boiler services that keep manufacturer warranties alive and service contracts that renew, and the calendar is the business.

OptiTech Automation holds every one of those dates against the property and the customer, so the CP12 due in March sits on the record rather than in someone’s memory. To be completely clear: the platform does not issue CP12s. Your Gas Safe registered engineer issues the certificate exactly as they do now. The platform keeps the dates and the records around it.

Service contracts layer on top. A boiler care plan is a promise of an annual visit, and the plan only makes money if the visit happens without being chased. Contract renewals, service dates and the CP12 clock all run on the same rails, in one place.

Records that are there when someone asks

Gas work generates paper that has to survive: safety records, service notes, photos of the installation, who attended and when. The test is never filing it. The test is finding it two years later when a letting agent, a landlord or an insurer asks.

Every job in OptiTech Automation carries its documents. CP12 and LGSR files upload against the job; photos, signatures and notes come in from the engineer app; all of it is searchable by property and customer. The shoebox retires.

Engineer details live in the same file: who attended and what they recorded. When a landlord’s agent asks who did the work, the answer is in the job, not in a text thread from eleven months ago.

Landlord work, kept for a decade

Landlords with a handful of properties are the best customers a gas firm has, and the easiest to lose. Miss their renewal and the agent’s next email goes to whoever chased first. The firms that keep landlord work for a decade are the ones that are simply never late.

With renewal dates on your radar and a booking page that takes a card deposit at booking, the annual check stops being a phone-tag exercise. The agent books the slot, the deposit lands in your own Stripe account, and your engineer gets the job with the property’s full history attached.

The same rails carry boiler services for homeowners. A service booked every October for three years running is not luck. It is a renewal date kept on the record and a booking page that was open when the customer had their phone in hand.

Only Gas Safe registered engineers get gas jobs

The rule in a mixed team is absolute: gas work goes to Gas Safe registered engineers and no one else. You mark who is registered and which work each engineer takes, and dispatch respects it. The improver gets the power flush. The registered engineer gets the boiler swap.

Engineers carry their jobs in an app that holds the day at the back of a cellar: job details, history, photos, signatures. With no signal the rota stays readable and a status change or a note queues and sends when they are back on it, photos need a connection to upload, and you keep the final say on every assignment.

It also keeps the story clean if anyone ever asks why a particular engineer was on a particular job. The answer is in the system: the job type, the profile you set for it and who matched it. Not a shrug. A record.

One flat price

From £199 a month plus a one-off £129 Onboarding Investment on the Start-up Stage, for up to five engineers, or £599 plus £249 on Standard for up to fifteen. Flat within the stage: not per engineer, not per job, no per-lead fees. A heating season at full tilt costs the same as August.

There is no contract. Cancel any month with 30 days notice and take your data with you as CSV. The number is on the page because you should not have to book a demo to learn a price.

Who this is not for

If you are one engineer with forty loyal landlords, a diary system that has never missed a renewal and no plans to hire, you may not need this. That is the honest answer.

The platform earns its keep when renewals number in the hundreds, when a second or third engineer joins and dispatch becomes a job in itself, and when a missed CP12 date starts costing landlord accounts. That is the week OptiTech Automation is built for.
