Fieldwire vs. Knowify

We used Fieldwire to increase our overall productivity for our engineers and for our installers and techs in the field, so our techs could have everything in front of them when needed. Sometimes the software can be dependent on cell service and when in a remote construction area it becomes hard to pull the information.

This is great if only used for job costing.

• Quality control, tagging a picture on the drawings is particularly helpful.
• Assigning tasks to field personnel.
• Having all pertinent files instantly accessible for review from the field.

• Job costing.
• Job tracking.
• Progressive invoicing.

• The software is geared toward general contractors. We are actively providing feedback to gear it toward engineers, architects, and design professionals.
• I would like to see more options for mark-ups.

• Syncing with QuickBooks could be a little better, only syncs to main customer and not projects.
• Does not have the ability to be used in the field.
• Cannot collect payment or invoice from the field, only office staff can do this which makes for a lot of missed money collection.

I use this all the time for my field measurements. But sometimes when I am working offline and upload it to cloud after coming to office, the tags get messed up. Some lines I drew at plan gets missing

They have always been very responsive to any changes that we have asked for. We have never had a technical issue.

Fieldwire for sure has better mobile usage, however, Smartsheet has better organization and charts. Ideally using both software together would help us achieve our goals and what we needed but the cost to run both software will cost you more than what other larger project management software competitors would charge for the same service.

Knowify does job costing which HouseCall Pro does not, it syncs with QuickBooks a little better than HouseCall Pro but does not allow our technicians to invoice from the field which is crucial.

• It has allowed us to catch issues before they compound on site.
• It allows supers to look at their plans from anywhere on-site through the ease of an iPad.

Incentivized

• Keeps good track of all bills and expenses.
• It would be nice to be able to see a list of all bills and not have to look under each project/job.
• Allows us to see if a job is headed south and quickly correct it.
