About
FieldEdge is an all-in-one field service management software designed specifically for multi-truck contracting businesses in industries like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, locksmith, and appliance repair. It bridges the gap between office operations and field teams through a centralized platform that handles everything from scheduling and dispatching to billing and customer management. For business owners, FieldEdge provides real-time visibility into technician performance, financial health, and marketing ROI — helping identify the most profitable services and top-performing team members. The office team benefits from a unified dispatch board, automated QuickBooks syncing to eliminate double data entry, and tools to build and sell service agreements more effectively. Field technicians use the FieldEdge mobile app to access complete customer histories, create and close work orders, and collect payments on-site with mobile card readers. The built-in Flat Rate pricing feature helps standardize job pricing to prevent revenue shortfalls and guide customers through informed repair or replacement decisions. Proposal Pro enables techs to present Good-Better-Best options directly at the customer's home, improving close rates. FieldEdge also includes marketing and email tools to help optimize spend and connect campaigns directly to revenue. With integrations like QuickBooks and a robust partner ecosystem, it fits naturally into existing business workflows. It's best suited for small to mid-market service contractors looking to scale operations, improve consistency, and boost profitability.
