The basics
What FieldLink is and what it takes to start using it.
Do I need to download an app or learn a dashboard?
No. You run FieldLink by text, from the messaging app already on your phone. There’s a web page where you can look over quotes, invoices, and job history when you want to, but you never have to open it to get work done.
What can it actually do?
Capture a new customer, draft an estimate, put the job on your calendar, create and send an invoice, take payment, read a supply house receipt, and keep track of what you asked it to remember. If it’s office work that comes out of a job, it’s on the table.
Do I need a CRM?
No, and that’s the point. Most field service software assumes you already run one. FieldLink works straight off the Google account you already have, so a one-person shop gets a real back office without buying and learning a CRM first. If you do run Jobber, FieldLink works with that instead.
Do my customers need an app?
No. Your customers get a professional quote or invoice by email, with a link to approve it or pay. Nothing to download on their end, and no account to create.
What number do I text, and what about my business number?
You text FieldLink at a FieldLink number, the same way you’d text an employee. Your business number keeps doing exactly what it does today. Quotes and invoices go out under your business name, so nothing changes for your customers. Dedicated business numbers are on the roadmap.
Does it work with the tools I already use?
Yes. If you run on Jobber, FieldLink writes to Jobber and leaves it as your system of record. If you don’t run a CRM, it works directly with Google Contacts, Calendar, and Drive, and payments run through Stripe. Running something else? FieldLink works off your Google account either way, so you can put it to work alongside whatever you’ve got today. More connections follow as we grow.
Control & trust
Who decides what goes out, and what happens to your data.
Does it message my customers for me?
Only when you tell it to. FieldLink drafts the quote or invoice and waits. When you give the word, it goes out by email under your business name, or as a Jobber quote if that’s where you work. It never sends anything on its own.
Can I approve things before they go out?
You always do. Nothing reaches a customer unless you tell FieldLink to send it, so a $4,000 estimate goes out on your say-so, not a moment before.
Can it change or delete things in my books?
No. FieldLink adds records, it doesn’t rewrite them. It will create a customer, a quote, a job, or an invoice, but it won’t quietly edit or cancel something that’s already there. If a record needs changing, that stays your call.
What if it doesn’t know the answer?
It hands the question to you instead of guessing. You stay in control, and it learns your business the more you use it.
Who is it built for?
Solo operators and very small shops, where there’s no office manager and the owner is doing all of it between jobs. That’s the whole design target, not an edge case we tolerate.
Is my business data secure?
Yes. Your data is encrypted and private to your business. Your pricing and job history never cross over to another business, and they’re never resold.
Estimates & pricing
How FieldLink prices work, and where the numbers come from.
Can I just send a photo?
Yes. Text a picture of the unit or the work and FieldLink reads what it can from it: model number, capacity, condition, how hard it is to reach. Those details go into the estimate and get listed as assumptions so you can check them. If the photo isn’t clear enough to be sure, it asks you instead of guessing.
Where do the prices come from?
Materials are priced from live supplier pricing. Labor and markup come from your own completed jobs, not national averages. Every invoice you close feeds back in, so the numbers track your business rather than someone else’s.
What if I’m brand new to it and it doesn’t know my pricing yet?
You can bring your history with you. Import past invoices from a spreadsheet, or pull them in from Jobber when you connect it, and FieldLink starts warm instead of blank. Without any history it still builds an estimate from materials and labor, and it tells you when its confidence is low.
How accurate is it?
It tells you, rather than asking you to take it on faith. Every estimate carries a confidence level and shows how many similar jobs it drew from. You also get a monthly accuracy report comparing what you quoted to what the jobs actually came to, so you can watch it improve instead of guessing.
