Managing lightning protection for a single site is already rigorous work. Managing it for 50, 100 or 200 client sites simultaneously, without drowning in Excel spreadsheets and paper folders — that’s another challenge altogether. It’s precisely to address this need that LPS Manager has developed its multi-site functionality: a centralized interface that gives installers and engineering firms a complete and real-time view of their clients’ entire lightning protection fleet.
The multi-site challenge in lightning protection management
Lightning protection installers and engineering firms face a complex reality: their clients often have multiple sites to protect and maintain, sometimes spread across all of France or internationally. Each site has its own equipment, its own verification dates, its own history of lightning impacts.
Without an adapted tool, multi-site management results in:
- A multiplication of files and documents by client and by site
- Risks of forgetting regulatory verification deadlines
- Difficulty prioritizing interventions after a thunderstorm episode
- Considerable time spent consolidating information to produce reports
LPS Manager multi-site: a centralized view of your entire fleet
The multi-site functionality of LPS Manager allows you to consolidate all managed installations in a single interface. From a unique dashboard, the user has access to:
- The complete list of sites with their compliance status in real time
- The equipment for each site: lightning rods, SPD surge arresters, grounding systems, Contact@ir sensors
- Consolidated alerts: detected lightning impacts, equipment to be checked, overdue regulatory deadlines
- Reports by client generatable in a few clicks for audits and DREAL inspections
This overall vision is particularly valuable for installers managing several dozen ICPE clients, whose periodic verification obligations are strict and documented.
Up to 999 pieces of equipment tracked per account
LPS Manager allows you to track up to 999 connected devices per account, distributed across as many sites as necessary. This scalability perfectly matches the needs of growing installers who regularly add new clients to their portfolio.
Automatic alerts: the end of systematic inspection rounds
Coupled with the Contact@ir sensor system, the LPS Manager platform transforms lightning protection fleet maintenance. Instead of planning annual rounds on all sites, the installer receives targeted automatic alerts only when an event requires intervention:
- Lightning impact detected on a site — lightning rod and SPD verification recommended
- SPD surge arrester wear threshold reached — replacement to be scheduled
- Regulatory verification deadline approaching on an ICPE site
- Communication anomaly on a connected sensor
This intelligent alert system allows you to concentrate field resources where it’s truly necessary, and eliminate unnecessary trips. Field feedback shows a reduction of up to 70% in unjustified preventive visits.
Consolidated reports for each client
One of the most appreciated benefits for engineering firms is the automatic report generation from LPS Manager data. For each client site, it is possible to produce in a few clicks:
- The periodic verification report of the lightning installation
- The history of impacts and post-impact verifications
- The compliance status with respect to the initial Lightning Risk Analysis
- A multi-site summary for clients with multiple facilities
These reports, generatable in PDF with co-branding (installer and client logos), represent a saving of 2 to 3 hours per file and enhance the professionalism of the installer with their clients.
A tool designed for installers and engineering firms
LPS Manager is designed as a collaborative and multi-user tool. An engineering firm can share access to a file with the end client or with a subcontractor, each having an access level adapted to their role:
- Installer: full access to all sites in their portfolio, equipment management, alerts
- Verifier: access to verification files, entry of inspection reports
- End client: read-only view of their own sites, access to reports and history
This organization makes it possible to streamline the value chain between installer, verifier and operator, while maintaining complete traceability of actions performed.
Getting started with LPS Manager: simple and fast
LPS Manager is a SaaS platform accessible from any browser, with no software installation required. Adding a new site takes just a few minutes: create the file, fill in the equipment details, associate Contact@ir sensors if present. A free version allows you to start with essential features before upgrading to Expert or Enterprise plans for larger fleets.
