Field service software features: common questions

What features does Field Promax offer?

Field Promax covers the whole job in one platform: scheduling and dispatch, work orders, estimates, invoicing and payments, a mobile app with offline mode, GPS tracking, time cards, customer management and equipment tracking. It also includes job costing, profit analysis, project management, progress billing, purchasing, subcontractor management, custom forms, fleet management, reports and marketing tools.

What does field service management software do?

Field service management software organizes the work your team does at customer sites. It books the job, schedules and dispatches the right technician, gives them the job details on a mobile app, records the work with photos and signatures, then turns it into an invoice and collects payment. Everything stays in one system instead of whiteboards, spreadsheets and paper.

What are the three key elements of field service management?

Most teams break it into three parts: scheduling and dispatch (getting the right technician to the right job), work in the field (work orders, checklists, photos and signatures on a mobile app) and billing (estimates, invoices, payments and accounting sync). Field Promax connects all three, so a job moves from quote to payment without entering anything twice.

What is the difference between CRM and field service management software?

A CRM tracks customers and sales: contact details, quotes and follow-ups. Field service management software runs the work after the sale: scheduling, dispatch, work orders, invoicing and payments. Field Promax includes both, so each customer's history, quotes, jobs and payments sit in one record.

What features should field service management software have?

Look for scheduling and dispatch, digital work orders, estimates, invoicing and payments, a mobile app that works offline, customer history and QuickBooks or Xero sync. Growing teams also need GPS tracking, time cards, job costing and reports. Field Promax includes all of these in one platform.

Does the Field Promax mobile app work offline?

Yes. The Field Promax app runs on iOS and Android. In offline mode, technicians can open and edit work orders with no signal, log check-ins, mileage and signatures, and everything syncs automatically once they are back online.

Does Field Promax integrate with QuickBooks and Xero?

Yes. Field Promax syncs with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop and Xero. With Xero, contacts, items and quotes come in, new customers go back as Xero contacts, and a finished work order becomes a draft Xero invoice with item codes already matched.

Can I see how much profit I make on each job?

Yes. Job costing tracks labor, materials and expenses as the job runs. Profit analysis shows revenue, cost, profit and margin on every work order, estimate and project, using loaded labor cost and counting vendor bills and expenses.

Can Field Promax handle large projects and progress billing?

Yes. Project management runs multi-phase jobs with linked work orders, purchase orders, subcontractors and expenses. Progress billing supports AIA G702/G703 pay applications, installment schedules and retainage, with posting to QuickBooks.
