Where the current tool falls short
- A notebook cannot be searched: finding last year’s wedding contract means leafing through pages, and sometimes finding nothing.
- Stock counted on a sheet is wrong from the very next show; batch expiry dates are never recalculated.
- One copy only: left in the van, soaked on a firing site or lost, the whole history goes with it.
What PyroDesk changes
- Every client, every show and every attachment is found with a few letters, from your phone on the firing site.
- Stock updates itself when a firing plan is confirmed; batches nearing expiry surface on their own.
- Nothing to back up: data lives on the server, available to the whole crew, with the access rights you decide.
A notebook has one quality nothing replaces: it opens in a second, with no battery, in the rain. Many pyrotechnicians write down the site survey, estimated distances, the deputy mayor’s name and the stadium caretaker’s number in it. The trouble is not the note-taking, it is what happens next: that information never reaches a searchable dossier, never gets shared with the colleague who will fire in your place, and disappears with the next notebook.
On paper, stock is a photograph taken at one moment. The morning after a village show you have to pull out the list, cross things off, recount, and the gap between the count and reality grows with every show. Hand-signed contracts stay in a folder, invoices get typed afterwards in a word processor, and the declaration to the authority is written from scratch every time, copying item references from the boxes.
PyroDesk does not ask you to give up the pencil on site. It offers a place where everything you noted ends up living: the survey becomes an attachment to the dossier, the item list becomes a firing plan that reserves stock, the contract is signed by the client on their portal, and the declaration picks up the products from the plan automatically. On your phone, the show file is right there when the mayor asks a question, without rummaging through the van.
