Service Manager

The software is great, their office support is horrible to deal with, If we treated our customers they way they do we would be thrown off the job.

Office Manager

The FE support team has been wonderful in helping us get the most use out of FE for our specific needs.

OWNER

Owner operator

It didn’t offer enough systems that we need at our business size.

Told that it worked even better than Housecall Pro, it does not.   When asked to cancel; because sales representative lied about what platform could do; Fieldedge instead told our company it was our disconnect and we signed a contract.  

We are mainly leaving because of all of the flaws and difficulty using the program experience by our technicians in the field and everyone else.  

They offered features to help us evaluate performance and clients.

The sales person said we would not be required to use QuickBooks, a canned program with no customization.  

Platform does NOT allow office staff to access jobs.  

Ten months into the lease they tried to remove that discount, but I caught them.  

We were promised a $100 discount for the term of the contract.  

Lot's of misleading cost structure and several different companies to deal with for signatures, payments, etc.   

Owner

I thought that Field Edge would help us to get an "edge" in our "field" but instead it was more like we were sidelined on the edge of the field watching everyone else still enjoying the game.

Anytime I have issues, their representatives are always quick to respond and help out.

President 

Several important HVAC fields N/A in FE like  filter info, belt info, zone  name most houses have multiple equipment zones.

Not to mention when you leave the program, you lose all of YOUR information, unless you are willing to pay for it.

The training did not succeed in helping us to have a successful launch at all, I don't think there was one smooth thing about the launch overall.

I love how easy it is to use, and how easy it is for our technicians to use.

Lead Service Technician

I was pleased with how it performed and it was relatively easy to use

Office / Field Manager

Scheduling and Dispatching and Invoicing.

FieldEdge would probably be great for an RLC (residential/light commercial) company. But as a company that is entirely commercial with many long, multi-phase projects, it leaves much to be desired and demands work-arounds.

Frequently we're steered towards a few 'training' pdfs and videos that don't go into much detail that we need, or answer our questions at all.

SERVICE DISPATCHER

I think the system could be better by creating a Mach maintenance (QUOTE)  plan to send to the customers to show them what will be their plan with pricing and have them electronically sign the agreement with accept or decline option, as well as the system take off the % off the plan when scheduled.

Director of Operations

I used to be able to manage the desktop software from my phone just by logging into my office account.

Capability to see all jobs, their progress, who is on them and where, invoicing, payments all make the job flow better and increase the production for the business

Director

The training videos are outdated and often don't answer the question I'm asking.   But, more important FieldEdge's partnership with Clearent causes us significant problems.  

Also they changed their accounting software at the end of 2020, messed up the billing for almost 5 months, and then turned us off on a Friday afternoon at 4:30 pm with no way to get the mobile side back until the following week.

Paperless invoicing and link to pay from invoice

Marketing

It seems the company trains them to sound superior so the customer will think they don't know anything or want to ask further questions.

Accounting Manager

Integration with QBO and QBO payroll is seemless.

They broke every part of the agreement we made and still decided to keep my onboarding fees of $1500 after telling me I'd get a full refund, after ghosting me for months and not pulling any usable data from Service Titan.

pres

long history with the original company  they were hvac contractors  then started selling the system to other contractors

they hire these kids out of school with no IT training and expect them to support their customers.  

It was easy for the most part to set up and use.

Additionally, any requests for assistance from tech support, albeit responsive, are often lacking.

I just received a call from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] that told me I need to be nicer to the tech that is wasting my time because he is lacking training on the product.  

Controller

FieldEdge has helped us create operational efficiencies with dispatching and collections.   

Can we save the report we just created...

you cannot click on a time slot in the dispatch board to initiate a scheduled work order/job.   when you e-mail a quote to a customer the customer has no way of approving that work order.  

New software upgrades seem very seamless.

Secretary

We also have difficulty with invoicing for jobs that we take a deposit on to begin the work.

Accounting

I like the dashboard tab for easy overall numbers of sales, quotes and marketing

Functionality, this software is to cumbersome and difficult to maneuver. If you have worked with software all your life and switch to this you will not be happy if this is the first software you have used in this industry this may be the right fit.

On the other hand, the implementation was a nightmare and the poor quality of the software is a daily impediment to our business.

To find if a customer purchased a widget from us, we have to review each invoice to "hunt" for the widget and when or if it was sold by us.
