Short answer
What software boundary fits a small field service team?
For a 2–15-person service crew, a focused evidence layer can be easier to adopt than another all-in-one suite: protect work created in the field, preserve approval, and export invoice-ready facts while existing CRM and accounting tools remain in place.
Product status: a limited FieldProof founding-pilot PWA is live at /app/. It implements the bounded workflow described here, but is not a broadly generally available service.
Compare the workflow approaches
| Approach | Useful when | Trade-off to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Camera roll, paper and messages | Very low setup overhead | Context, approval and export are fragmented |
| Broad field-service suite | CRM, dispatch and operations must share one platform | Mobile complexity, contract terms and offline depth vary |
| FieldProof founding pilot | A small crew needs a focused evidence-to-approval layer | Limited pilot; not a replacement for accounting or a full CRM |
Selection criteria
- The crew can start with one job type without migrating the whole business.
- Offline evidence and portable exports are included in the core boundary.
- The vendor states clearly which accounting, dispatch and payment functions are not included.
Evidence boundary: the complaint counts come from a defined App Store review window and overlapping deterministic themes. They indicate recurring friction, not market share, causality, satisfaction rate or a promise that every team has the same problem.
Frequently asked questions
Who is FieldProof for?
The first target is owner-operators and 2–15-person HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, inspection, landscaping and restoration crews.
Is FieldProof a full field service CRM?
No. It is a focused job-evidence, approval and invoice-ready export layer.
How is the founding pilot priced?
The published validation offer is €149 one time for the bounded pilot scope. No payment is taken on the public site.
General field service management software can include CRM, dispatch, marketing, phones, payroll, price books, inventory and accounting. Small teams often still document jobs in camera rolls, paper forms and text threads because the mobile workflow is fragile or too heavy.
Who the pilot is for
Owner-operators and 2–15-person HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning, inspection, landscaping and restoration teams are the first target. The best design partners run real jobs in low-signal environments and currently re-enter documentation at the office.
The first product boundary
Field evidence
Offline capture, photos, forms, readings, notes, signatures, item-level sync and job packs.
Approval to export
Customer scope approval, estimate/invoice PDFs, payment-link handoff and accounting export.
Operations suite
Dispatch optimization, call-center AI, marketing automation, payroll and hiring.
Accounting system
General ledger, tax filing, bank reconciliation and inventory forecasting.
Why coexistence comes first
A narrow product can be adopted for one crew or job type without migrating the entire business. FieldProof plans portable exports and integration handoffs so teams can keep their CRM or accounting system while testing a better evidence workflow.
Pricing is a test, not a claim
The current founding offer is €149 one time for a bounded pilot scope, with no payment collected on this site. Any continuation is optional and separately agreed.
