Product Details

What is Field Nation?

Field Nation is a labor marketplace for IT field service, connecting companies and skilled technicians with the goal of doing great work across the nation.

The platform enables service delivery teams to identify and work with independent professionals. With Field Nation, companies can build and deploy their on-demand workforce, and technicians can choose work that aligns with their interests, skill set, and schedule.


Field Nation states that demand for skilled technicians is high, but there are not enough workers, so companies often have to sacrifice control and put their customer relationships at risk because of outdated talent strategies. Yet, people with the skills and passion for IT field service are available, still committed to their profession, but who want a new way of working— flexibility, autonomy, and freedom.


Field Nation helps field service leaders:

IMPROVE OUTCOMES >> Connect directly with the technicians that will best represent a brand, and make sure their work is completed to specifications, achieving a reduction in site revisits and a high success rate on work completed.

RESPOND QUICKLY >> The breadth and depth of skilled technicians on the Field Nation marketplace aims to enable companies to say “yes” to customers, scaling quickly to meet demand. This includes sourcing techs and dispatching work faster. Field Nation boasts WOs completed in 29K+ zip codes across the U.S., with 1 million WOs completed annually at 425K sites and skilled techs with experience across 20+ service types.

REDUCE COSTS >> Eliminate the third-party margin stack and additional fees while maintaining control over pay rates. The platform provides visibility into current market rates by type of work and geography, and helps organizations realize up labor cost savings.
