Frequently asked questions
Quick answers on pricing, onboarding, integrations, and evaluation.
How much does field service software cost?
Most vendors price per user per month, with onboarding fees tied to crew size, integrations, and dispatch volume. Expect costs to scale with routing, CRM depth, and accounting syncs.
What features matter most for growing service teams?
Prioritize scheduling, mobile dispatch, and invoicing, then confirm customer messaging and reporting are included without expensive add-ons.
How long does implementation and onboarding take?
Most teams go live in 2–6 weeks depending on data migration and integrations. Ask vendors for timeline, training coverage, and post-launch support response times.
Which integrations deliver the biggest ROI?
Accounting syncs, payment processing, and CRM pipelines usually have the highest payoff. Confirm integrations for QuickBooks, SMS/email, and inventory before committing.
How should I evaluate mobile usability?
Test offline access, photo capture, signature flows, and speed for technicians in the field. A smooth mobile experience reduces revisits and accelerates invoicing.
What’s the best way to compare vendors quickly?
Use a shortlist with your must-have workflows, ask for demo access, and score each platform against the same criteria for setup time, reporting depth, and support.
