In its favor
Why people choose Fergus
The signal that keeps Fergus on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Automated accounting and supplier integration that reduces manual entry of materials and hours on invoices, saving time on billing for trade businesses
Intuitive interface that operations managers and field staff can use without extensive training or onboarding, according to Capterra reviews
Customer-specific pricing tiers that allow trade businesses to maintain different rates per customer without creating separate price books
Job scheduling and staff visibility features that let field workers see where to go and what to do next without constant coordination overhead
Quick setup for small trade businesses migrating from spreadsheets or pen-and-paper job management processes
Navigational friction when editing invoices — changing margins on materials and moving between screens feels fiddly, per Capterra reviews
Limited reporting and analytics depth that makes it difficult to extract meaningful business insights from historical job data
Scaling limitations as businesses grow beyond basic job management into complex project tracking or multi-location operations
Integration limitations with non-standard accounting software that forces some businesses to maintain duplicate records or manual exports

What gets migrated
Fergus object support
Object-by-object support for Fergus migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.

Fully supportedJobs are the central object in Fergus, linking a customer to quote, invoice, assigned staff, and job phases. We migrate Jobs with their full metadata including status, phase information, and timestamps.
Quotes and Estimates
Fully supportedQuotes in Fergus support line items, deposits, and approval workflows. We migrate quotes as-is, noting which ones have unpaid deposits or active job phases as flagged by Fergus.
Invoices
Fully supportedFergus invoices track payment status, overpayment warnings, and unallocated costs. We preserve invoice records including their warning badge states and payment allocations.
Pricing Tiers
Mapping requiredFergus allows creating and assigning customer-specific pricing tiers for materials and labour rates. We map these to the destination CRM's pricing mechanism, noting that not all platforms support tiered customer-specific pricing.
Employees and Staff
Mapping requiredStaff records in Fergus are used for scheduling and job assignment. We migrate staff as contacts with a staff or employee role marker, but scheduling and availability data may not transfer directly.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredFergus supports custom fields on jobs and customers, but the schema is not publicly documented in a standard reference. We discover custom field mappings during the scoping phase before migration.
Job Photos and Attachments
Mapping requiredJobs may have attached photos, signatures, or documents. We export these via Fergus's file storage and re-attach them at the destination. File size limits and storage location must be confirmed during scoping.
Trade Suppliers
Mapping requiredFergus integrates with trade suppliers for material pricing. Supplier records and linked pricing data require custom mapping to the destination's vendor or supplier model.
Reports and Pay Summary
Not in this platformFergus provides reporting features including Pay Summary Reports for integrations with payroll tools like Smartly. These are generated views, not raw data exports, and are not migratable as reports. We migrate underlying job and timesheet data instead.
