ETS captures everything. Forge tells you what it means.
Built by a locksmith, inside a working Armstrong store. See where your money and your time actually go.
Book a Health CheckSound familiar?
You're the owner, the workshop and the bookings desk. Your techs answer the phone between jobs. Quotes go out and nobody chases them. Debtors drift when it gets busy.
ETS has every job, every invoice and every hour, but getting a straight answer out of it takes a day you don't have.
We know, because we lived it. So we built the thing we needed.
What Forge does
Your jobs, your money and your vans, in one place.
Forge connects your ETS, Xero and vehicle GPS, and turns them into a few clear screens, updated every day.
Money first
- Debtors chased in your name, at the right time
- Finished work that hasn't been invoiced, flagged before it's forgotten
- Quotes followed up by text, email and a call, without anyone remembering to
- What product you're selling, and who's buying it
- Jobs that have sat too long
Your team next
- What a good day looks like, and how close each tech gets to it
- Charged hours, driving and admin, side by side
- Real driving time per tech, from your vehicle GPS
- Every person sees their own numbers in My Insight

Built in a real store
Not built in an office. Built on a Monday morning.
Forge runs Armstrong Smarter Security Canterbury, the second biggest store in the network. Every screen exists because we needed it to run the business.
The Health Check
Find out what your ETS already knows.
- Connect. Read-only. Nothing in your ETS changes.
- We read 12 months. Money, people, stock and data quality.
- One hour together. What your data says today, in dollars, and the five changes that unlock more.
Your data stays yours. Only you see your report.
Works with how you use ETS today
No big changeover.
Debtors, invoicing and quotes work from the data you already have. Start clocking on to jobs and you'll see a lot more, and we'll show you how, because we've already done it ourselves.
Who's behind it
I'm Wayne Fisher.
I've been a locksmith for over 30 years, and I still run an Armstrong store. For years ETS knew everything about my business and told me nothing. So I learned to read it, and built Forge so other owners don't have to.
