Field Service Software IO
FieldServiceSoftware.io is an independent online platform that provides unfiltered reviews and rankings of field service management (FSM) software. The website was founded by a field service operations professional with a background in enterprise technology consulting, aiming to provide practical, hands-on evaluations of FSM software solutions for industry professionals.
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.
