Cause and Effects cause and effect matrix for a live project

Cause and effect matrix

How the platform is used

One live matrix

Linked to floorplan devices

Site tests

Logged in the mobile app

Client sign-off

Portal for responsible persons

Matrix, floorplan, and the site record

Matrix and floorplan stay linked. Verification, RFIs, and the client portal sit on the same project record.

Cause and effect matrix

Build and validate matrices with virtualised tables, import, and export. One live source of truth instead of fragile spreadsheets.

Interactive floorplans

Upload PDF backgrounds, snap devices to the grid, map zones, and link placements directly to matrix rows.

Client portal

Invite stakeholders to a dedicated portal for dashboards, verification sign-off, and tiered access. No contractor-app login required.

Mobile verification

Run verification sessions on site with workflows, pass or fail logging, photos, and notes that stay on the project.

RFI management

Templates, status tracking, reminders, and client-facing forms. Keep RFIs out of email threads.

Access control

Organisation roles, MFA-ready accounts, encryption in transit and at rest, audit trails, and a scanned file-upload pipeline.

Three steps to a certificate

From floorplan upload to commissioning certificate.

01

Upload

Upload PDF or image floorplans as a background, or start from a blank canvas. Pan, zoom, and use the grid to place devices.

02

Map

Place outputs on floorplans, define zones, and edit the cause and effect matrix. Validate relationships before you go to site.

03

Commission

Walk the site with the mobile app, check devices, log faults, and generate the commissioning certificate from live project data.

Stop managing fire safety with spreadsheets.

One project record from design through commissioning. Matrices, floorplans, site tests, and sign-off stay together.

One matrix linked to devices on the floorplan

Site tests logged on the mobile app, not on paper

Full audit trail for compliance packs

Responsible persons sign off in the client portal

RFIs stay on the project instead of in email

Frequently asked questions

What is Cause and Effects?
Cause and Effects is a cloud platform for fire alarm system management. Fire safety professionals design cause and effect matrices, manage interactive floorplans, and run mobile commissioning and verification in one workflow.
What is a fire alarm cause and effect matrix?
A cause and effect matrix defines how the system responds to each trigger: which outputs activate and when. Cause and Effects helps you build, manage, and export these matrices digitally.
Who is the platform built for?
Fire alarm designers, commissioning engineers, project managers, and facilities teams. It replaces spreadsheets and paper with a shared record across the project lifecycle.
How does the floorplan editor work?
Upload floor plans as PDF or PNG, place devices and zones, and link them to your matrix. Everything is stored in the cloud for your team.
Can I use it on site during commissioning?
Yes. The mobile companion lets engineers test devices on site, log pass or fail, add photos and notes, and generate certificates without paper forms.
Is there a client portal?
Yes. You can invite clients and responsible persons to a dedicated portal for dashboards, structured RFIs where enabled, and verification sign-off, without giving them full contractor-app access.
Does the platform support RFIs?
Yes. The RFI system includes dashboards, templates, email reminders, client-facing forms, analytics, and exports so requests stay traceable.
