Migrate your Accruent Vx Field data
Enterprise field service management platform for organizations dispatching large mobile workforces across multiple sites, with deep scheduling, asset, and inventory capabilities.
In its favor
Why people choose Accruent Vx Field
The signal that keeps Accruent Vx Field on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Organizations with multi-site field operations choose Vx Field for its ability to schedule and dispatch hundreds of daily work orders across distributed technician workforces with real-time route optimization.
Customers managing both internal technicians and external contractors use Vx Field because contractor access is available at no additional cost per seat, simplifying mixed workforces.
Facility-heavy organizations select Vx Field for its tight integration between Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) workflows and field service dispatch, keeping asset data consistent across both contexts.
Vx Field is chosen by organizations already using other Accruent products (EMS, Maintenance Connection) because the Accruent platform unifies workplace, facilities, and asset data under a single vendor contract.
Enterprises managing regulated environments value Vx Field because its asset attribute system supports assigning critical attributes (categories, types, manufacturers) from a single configuration page, making compliance records auditable.
Pricing is entirely opaque with no published tiers or public quotes, forcing customers into lengthy enterprise sales cycles and creating renewal leverage against the vendor.
Implementation requires significant professional services investment from Accruent or certified partners, adding 30-50% to total cost of ownership beyond software licensing.
Integration with non-Accruent ERPs or accounting systems is effort-intensive, as the REST API lacks comprehensive bulk export endpoints and documentation is fragmented across product lines.
The platform's web UI is considered complex for dispatch supervisors transitioning from simpler mobile-first tools, with a steeper learning curve for scheduling and optimization workflows.
Customers report that the asset hierarchy and position category structures require manual reconfiguration when organizational restructuring occurs, as there is no bulk repositioning capability.

Contracts are negotiated individually, typically as annual agreements with per-user and per-site components. Professional services for implementation are billed separately and represent a significant portion of total cost of ownership.

What gets migrated
Accruent Vx Field object support
Object-by-object support for Accruent Vx Field migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Work Orders
Fully supportedWork Orders are the primary transaction object in Vx Field. They carry status, priority, assignment, location, and scheduling data. We extract full work order histories including all status transitions and associate them with the originating Asset and Site. Standard CSV or API-based export captures the complete lifecycle from creation to closure.
Assets
Fully supportedAssets represent equipment, infrastructure, and physical items tracked across Sites. Vx Field supports hierarchical asset structures with attributes (category, subcategory, type, manufacturer) assigned from a single page in the 2023.12 release. We preserve the full attribute chain and parent-child relationships during migration.
Technicians (Users)
Mapping requiredTechnicians are the mobile workforce records. Vx Field uses Position Categories and subCategories to classify technician roles (e.g., Engineer/Industrial or Marketing/Communications Director). We map Position Category assignments as a custom property on the destination User record, since destination CRMs do not typically have a native 2-tier position classification model.
Sites (Locations)
Fully supportedSites serve as the location hierarchy and act as the parent container for Assets and Work Orders. We preserve Site-to-Asset and Site-to-Work-Order relationships explicitly during migration to ensure the destination structure mirrors the source location topology.
Inventory and Parts
Mapping requiredVx Field tracks parts stock across warehouses and mobile van inventories, with replenishment triggers tied to Work Order consumption. We export current stock levels, reorder points, and parts-to-work-order allocation records. Some ERP-centric inventory quantities may live in the linked accounting system and require cross-system reconciliation before import.
Schedule and Dispatch Records
Mapping requiredScheduling and dispatch data includes technician assignments, time windows, and route data. Vx Field's real-time optimization continuously adapts dispatch plans. We capture the most recent finalized dispatch snapshot at migration time, but the continuous optimization state does not export cleanly and must be rebuilt as a baseline configuration in the destination system.
Position Categories and SubCategories
Mapping requiredPosition Categories are a 2-tier classification system for technician roles used to build Position Standards. This is an Accruent-specific construct not found in most destination platforms. We extract the full taxonomy and store it as a custom lookup table in the destination system rather than as native role data.
Contractors
Mapping requiredVx Field grants external contractors mobile access at no additional per-seat cost. Contractor records are mixed with internal technician records in the user table. We separate contractor accounts by identifying records with external organization flags and map them to the destination system's vendor or contact model.
Preventive Maintenance (PPM) Records
Mapping requiredPreventive and planned maintenance records define recurring schedules tied to Assets and Sites. The 2023.12 release introduced PPM Builder with bulk update capabilities. We export PPM schedules, trigger frequencies, and associated asset/site assignments, but recurring schedule rules may require translation to the destination's scheduling engine.
Documents and Attachments
Not in this platformWork Order and Asset documents are stored as attachments within Vx Field's document management system. We do not migrate binary document blobs directly. Instead, we extract document metadata (filename, type, associated object, upload date) and provide a mapping table so the customer can re-associate files from their document store post-migration.
Dashboard Tiles and Reports
Not in this platformDashboard tiles are configurable KPI views shared between users in the mobile dashboard. Custom report definitions are user-built within Vx Field. These are proprietary UI configurations with no standard export mechanism. We do not migrate them; they must be rebuilt in the destination system.
