The operating system for commercial security integrators
One platform, from the bid you have not found yet to the recurring revenue the install leaves behind.
BILL OF MATERIALS
Sample catalog and rates, for illustration. Every figure past Design is derived from the devices you placed, because it is one record.
That is the whole idea. Place a device and the parts, labor and cabling price themselves. Coverage is drawn to scale, not promised.
THE PROBLEM
Your estimator re-draws what your designer already drew
and the number that goes out the door is a careful guess nobody can trace back to anything.
You find out whether a job made money once it is finished
if you find out at all. The budget and the actuals live in different places.
Your agreements renew on a relationship
rather than on evidence of what you actually delivered over the term.
The recurring revenue that sets what your company is worth
lives in a spreadsheet one person maintains personally.
None of that is a discipline problem. It is a toolchain problem. Estimating tools were built for takeoff, field service platforms were built for the trades, and your CRM was built for a sales team that does not design anything.
WHAT CHANGES
THE DESIGNED SALE
Place a device on the floor plan and the parts, labor and cabling price themselves off your catalog, your assemblies, your rates. Service tiers quote beside the install, so recurring revenue is in the number from the first pass instead of an afterthought.
FROM QUOTE TO JOB
Branded proposal, electronic signature and deposit in one motion. The accepted estimate becomes the project, with its scope, bill of materials and budget already attached. The number the customer signed and the budget the project runs against are the same record.
EXECUTION
Crews work the pins on a tablet with photo proof per device, and the drawing updates itself into an as-built. It keeps working with no signal and syncs when the connection returns, so a mechanical room does not cost you a day of labor.
AFTER THE INSTALL
Agreements generate their own visit schedule. Inspection reports become the evidence a renewal is argued from. Deficiencies found in the field become quotes and then invoices, instead of becoming notes nobody bills.
THE COMPOUNDING PART
Clocked hours return against the assembly they were spent on. When the book says thirteen hours and seven completed installs say fifteen, you see the gap and the evidence behind it, and you decide whether the book moves.
LIVE DISTRIBUTOR PRICING
Where several distributors carry the same part, every offer is in front of you with its own cost. The choice is yours and it gets made on the number rather than on whoever answered.

THE GAP
$
on one reader, before anybody picks up a phone
Real costs from a live catalog, measured 31 July 2026, for one 125kHz proximity keypad reader. Distributors are not named here; they are named in the product, and we will show you on a call. The catalog syncs nightly from the buying group feed, so a part carries cost and lead time before anyone calls around.
CONSOLIDATION
Most integrators arrive carrying some combination of these. Gambit covers that ground in one system.
Consolidation is not really about license cost. Every seam between those tools is a retype, and every retype is a chance for the number to change. The seams are also where follow-through dies: a deficiency found in the field becomes a note instead of a quote.
COVERAGE
Every stage below is built and running today. This is coverage, not a roadmap.
Also built in: submittal packages built from catalog datasheets, a closeout gate that blocks a project closing with open punch items, monitoring and remote-support tiers quoted and billed with the install, warranty carried through to the customer portal, multi-branch operations with per-branch licensing and rates, national multi-site rollouts coordinated across subcontractors, and a document layer that files paperwork against the job it belongs to.
BUILT LIKE INFRASTRUCTURE
Depth is the proof. This is a working system of record rather than a demo with a database behind it, and these are figures a technical buyer can ask us to show live.
TRUST
The question anyone asks before putting their pipeline, margins, customer list and catalog into someone else's platform.
Gambit is multi-tenant to the floor. Every one of its 156 tables carries a tenant key, and 320 database-level security policies enforce separation underneath the application, so isolation does not depend on application code remembering to filter. A second, fully white-labeled tenant runs in production alongside the first, and cross-tenant access is probed adversarially as part of the automated test suite rather than assumed.
Your catalog and your pricing are yours, and the platform is designed so they never inform anyone else's quote.
Bring your line card and one live opportunity, and quote it both ways. That comparison will tell you more in an hour than any demo will.
