HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses already on QuickBooks that want tight accounting integration and dispatch management.
Local service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, cleaning, landscaping, auto repair, and more) with 1–20 employees who want a single unified platform for scheduling, CRM, invoicing, and customer marketing — without paying for 5 separate tools.
Yes. Ops-Deck covers everything FieldEdge does — dispatch, scheduling, invoicing, service agreements — plus adds a full CRM pipeline and marketing automation. At $49/mo as a founding member (versus $100+/tech/mo for FieldEdge), it's significantly more affordable for growing teams.
No. FieldEdge charges per technician and requires a sales call for pricing. Most businesses report paying $100–$200+/month per tech. A 5-tech team could pay $500–$1,000+/month. Ops-Deck is a flat $49/mo for founding members — no per-user fees.
Ops-Deck includes a full sales CRM pipeline, multi-channel marketing automation, a built-in customer booking website, and flat-rate pricing. FieldEdge focuses on dispatch and QuickBooks sync but lacks proactive customer marketing tools.
Ops-Deck handles invoicing, payments, and financial tracking natively. For businesses with a dedicated accountant, you can export invoice data for QuickBooks. FieldEdge's deep QuickBooks sync is its main differentiator for accountant-heavy workflows.
FieldEdge is well-suited for large HVAC operations with a heavy accounting workflow. Ops-Deck is ideal for HVAC businesses with 1–15 techs that want to grow revenue through marketing automation and a strong CRM — without paying per-technician fees.
