Field Service Software IO: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

FieldServiceSoftware.io was launched in response to growing frustration with marketing-driven FSM software reviews and failed implementations in the field service industry. Its founder, with over eight years of experience in Deloitte's technology consulting practice and six years managing operations at a mid-sized HVAC and electrical services company, sought to create a resource based on real-world software use rather than vendor-provided demos.

==History==

FieldServiceSoftware.io was launched in response to growing frustration with marketing-driven FSM software reviews and failed implementations in the field service industry. Its founder, with over eight years of experience in Deloitte's technology consulting practice and six years managing operations at a mid-sized HVAC and electrical services company, sought to create a resource based on real-world software use rather than vendor-provided demos.

Originally titled "Field Service Software That Doesn’t Suck", the website was rebranded to its current name after legal consultation, while maintaining its original mission of transparency and honesty in software evaluations.

==Mission==

The platform is designed to offer unbiased, industry-specific reviews of field service software tools. It targets business owners, technicians, and operations managers in sectors such as HVAC, plumbing, pest control, electrical, and solar, among others.

Key elements of the platform’s mission include:

* '''Unfiltered reviews:''' Each software is tested using a retail license purchased by the reviewer—no vendor-sponsored access is used.

* '''Industry-specific insights:''' Software is reviewed in the context of unique industry needs.

* '''Real-world testing:''' Reviews are based on 40–60 hours of hands-on use, including full workflow simulations such as dispatching, estimates, invoicing, technician use, offline scenarios, and emergency service handling.

==Content and Features==

FieldServiceSoftware.io offers the following types of content:

* '''Top FSM Software by Industry:''' Curated rankings for specific sectors, such as HVAC, electrical, and pest control.

* '''Deep-Dive Reviews:''' Long-form reviews that document full implementation experiences.

* '''Side-by-Side Comparisons:''' Direct comparisons of two or more FSM tools based on real-world performance.

* '''Advice on Implementation:''' Articles on how to choose, deploy, and get buy-in for FSM systems.
