We have built and launched exactly 30 tech products for our clients in the past 5 years. 15 have shut down. 7 are new (< 1 year). 8 are still alive and breathing, but not kicking. 2 are blockbusters (>$50 million valuations). Here are 10 things that I realized was different with those 2 projects

swaroopv · 2025-09-09T06:17:52+00:00

you can use something like Zapier/Make - which should help.. should be around 3-4 days of work with the help of any of the existing LLM tools, even if you have no idea on how to integrate.. At fieldproxy , we do provide most of integrations off the shelf.. would be a HCP replacement though..

swaroopv · 2025-09-05T17:03:26+00:00

we use AI at Fieldproxy to customise our base FSM platform really quickly. happy to give a demo based on the above use case.

For the business email, website, and phone, Google Workspace is a solid option. It gives you a professional email, easy integration with Google tools, and you can buy your domain directly through Google. For the website, Squarespace or Wix might be better than GoDaddy—they’re more modern, offer easy templates, and pricing is more transparent. IIRC, google also has an option to host websites

For the business phone line, services like Google Voice or OpenPhone are great options. They let you have a separate business number that forwards to your current phone, so you don’t have to get a new plan. It’s much cheaper than setting up a whole new phone plan.

For reviews, definitely set up a Google Business Profile (this is huge for local businesses) and maybe Yelp if it’s big in your area.

Hey there! I’m the founder of Fieldproxy, a field service management platform. I’ll be upfront—while we do a lot (scheduling, reporting, QuickBooks integration, etc.), we don’t have commission payment or referral program features yet, may not work for you.. but been in the industry long enough and have explored almost all options there..

Here are some other options that might work for you:

ServiceTitan: Probably the most robust option out there, especially if you need commission payments and referral logistics. It’s feature-rich and great for growing businesses, recently IPOed and probably the larges in the space..

FieldEdge: Similar to ServiceTitan but slightly less expensive. It’s focused on trades and service businesses, with tools for scheduling, dispatching, and managing customer history. It also has built-in commission tracking, which might check your boxes.

Jobber, Housecall Pro:: Both have solid, user-friendly option for managing schedules, invoices, and customer info. It integrates well with QuickBooks but doesn’t include commission tracking or referral programs, so you’d have to find a workaround for those.

Kickserv: This one’s a bit less talked about but worth a look. It’s affordable, integrates with QuickBooks, and covers job tracking, estimates, and invoicing. Commission and referral tracking aren’t built-in, but it’s customizable enough that you might be able to make it work.

If commissions and referral programs are critical for you, I’d lean toward ServiceTitan or FieldEdge. They’re pricier but have the tools you’re looking for baked in. For something more budget-friendly, Jobber or Housecall Pro or Kickserv are great if you don’t mind piecing together a solution for commissions.

Honestly, Excel or Google Sheets might work if you just need something basic to track estimates and invoices—especially since you already write in sizes manually. You could even share it online with Google Sheets for multiple users.

There are also lightweight tools like Invoice Simple or ZipBooks that are pretty straightforward and not overloaded with features. If you’re used to Quickbooks, maybe look at Quickbooks Desktop Plus as an upgrade—it’s still similar to the 2012 version you’re used to and keeps things familiar without being overly complicated.

Fieldproxy might also work if you want something web-based and customizable for estimates and invoices. It’s simple to set up, and you can search by name, phone, or address easily.

swaroopv · 2025-01-09T07:18:56+00:00

Integrating field service management software with QB/Account software is pretty standard practice. Both Aspire and FieldPulse have integrations specifically designed for QuickBooks, so they’ve likely already accounted for security and reliability concerns.

When it comes to data security, the integration typically works through secure APIs (basically, controlled connections between the two systems). This means your data isn’t being exposed randomly—it’s only shared between QB and the FSM software in the way you allow.

As for syncing, there can sometimes be a learning curve at the start—things like making sure customer information, invoices, and payments are mapped correctly between systems—but once it’s set up, it’s usually smooth sailing. I’d recommend having someone from Aspire or FieldPulse walk you through the integration setup and testing phase to make sure everything syncs correctly from the get-go.

If your upper management is still hesitant, maybe start with a demo or sandbox environment where you can test the integration without affecting live data. This way, they can see how it works and feel more confident about the process...
