Simpli-FI Concierge · for fire stations
Outfit the whole station. Your captains bought in. Your budget defended at council.
One operator curates every chair, locker, recliner, and bay cabinet for your station, runs it past your captains for a vote, and hands you a sourced savings packet for council. One vendor. One invoice. One person accountable from floor plan to opening day.
Built for Texas fire departments. In pilot with a North Texas station.
The way it usually goes
Outfitting a station eats months you do not have.
Three vendors who each sell one slice of the building. A spreadsheet that never quite ties out. Furniture that shows up looking nothing like the photo, after the crews already moved in around it.
Then council asks why the line item is what it is, and the honest answer is that nobody had time to price three options for every chair. So you defend a number you did not get to build.
Meanwhile your captains, the people who actually live in that station 48 hours at a stretch, never got a say in the recliner they will sleep in for the next ten years.
What Concierge hands you instead
A finished station, an approving crew, and a number you can stand behind.
One vendor, one invoice
Lindsey sources every category from a single accountable point. She personally receives and signs for each delivery, then coordinates install. You stop chasing freight.
Captains bought in first
Your captains vote on every item from their phones before a dollar is spent. Buy-in lands before delivery, not as a complaint after it.
A council-ready savings story
Every pick comes with the options that were considered and why this one won. You walk into council with the budget already defended, line by line.
How it works
Three steps. Your part takes an afternoon.
Your whole time investment is a floor plan and a budget number. Everything after that runs through Lindsey.
Send your floor plan and budget
Lindsey walks the space, learns how your crews actually use each room, and builds a catalog: every item your station needs, with three vetted options and a recommended pick for each.
Captains vote from their phones
Each captain sees the budget, the three options, and the pick. They vote four ways in under a minute: love it, fine, no, or we already have one (a transfer from the old station). Consensus lands in days, not meetings.
Lindsey orders, receives, and installs
She places the orders, tracks the freight, personally receives and signs for the deliveries, and coordinates install to your opening date. You get the savings packet for council and the keys to a finished station.
See it before you commit a thing
Walk both sides of the buy on sample data.
A synthetic department, Westmoor FD, is loaded and waiting. No signup, no client data, and it resets on reload. Vote as a captain, then read the same buy from the chief’s seat.
Captain’s phone
Vote between calls, in under a minute.
The view your captains get. Budget, three options, the pick, and a one-tap path if the old station already has the gear.

Walk into council with the savings proven.
Consensus, transfers, over-budget reasons, and a savings number that updates as captains vote. Plus the operator’s dashboard.

Three numbers, reported back to you in writing.
The gap
Saved against budget
Dollars between what council allocated for furniture and equipment and what the station actually cost, itemized by room.
The vote
Captain consensus
The share of items your captains approved before purchase. Consensus means two-thirds say love it or fine, with no hard nos.
The clock
Days to opening
Time from signed scope to install complete. Long-lead items get a head start in discovery so the calendar still lands.
Your purchasing office stays in control
We fit your buying path. We do not replace it.
Concierge works inside the procurement path your city already trusts: cooperative contracts like TIPS, BuyBoard, and DIR, a formal bid when one is required, or a documented sole-source where it fits. Texas HB 5 and your local thresholds set the rules. We hand your purchasing office a clean, sourced file that makes their job easier, not a workaround.
- Every pick documented with the options considered and the reason it won.
- HUB and small-vendor sourcing surfaced where it applies.
- A paper trail your auditor and your council can both follow.
Pricing
Three numbers. No retainer.
Our largest line is a share of what you save, so the incentive runs the right direction: we make more when your station costs less.
Discovery
$2,500 flat
Walkthrough, needs by room, and the full sourced catalog with three options and a pick per item. Yours to keep even if you stop here.
Savings share
15% of the gap
Our share of the dollars between your allocated budget and the real station cost. No savings, no fee. This is how we earn.
Install coordination
$1,500 flat
Freight tracking, receiving, sign-off, and install scheduling to your opening date. Optional, only if you want delivery handled.
These are typical figures, not a quote. Your exact pricing, timelines, and budget ranges are confirmed in the Discovery scope and vary by station size, lead times, and your purchasing path.
Who runs it
A firehouse family built this, not a furniture catalog.
Concierge is run by Lindsey Lott, who spent years as a pediatric ER nurse before building a business around getting spaces organized and calm. She personally receives and signs for deliveries, so the gear that lands in your station has passed through an accountable set of hands first.
It was designed alongside a working Texas fire captain, so the catalog is built around how a crew actually lives in a station: the 48-hour cycle, the gear, the bay, the sleep that gets interrupted at 0300. It is currently in pilot with a North Texas department.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”
1 Peter 4:10, ESV
