Migrate your Field2Base data
Field service automation platform built around mobile forms and offline-first data collection. Field2Base targets utilities, construction, and government agencies that need durable paperless workflows in low-connectivity environments.
In its favor
Why people choose Field2Base
The signal that keeps Field2Base on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Field2Base's offline-first Mobile Forms app works without internet connectivity, which makes it reliable for field crews in remote utility, construction, and government sites where connectivity is intermittent or absent.
Organizations with strict regulatory requirements — particularly healthcare (HIPAA) and government agencies — choose Field2Base for its documented compliance posture and end-to-end encryption across all data in transit and at rest.
The Forms Designer requires no coding experience — customers describe form creation as comparable to using Microsoft Word — which reduces the technical barrier for operations teams building their own inspection and work-order templates.
Field2Base offers pre-built integration options for CSV, ODBC/OLEDB, API, and Web Services through its Data Integration Module (DIM), making it straightforward to connect form submissions to back-end SQL databases or ERP systems.
Construction companies and field service operators pick Field2Base for its work order numbering automation, signature capture, photo attachment, and GPS tagging — features purpose-built for daily field documentation workflows.
Small teams find the pricing model expensive at scale — Essentials starts at $20 per license per month and higher tiers require custom quotes, making per-seat costs unpredictable as the field workforce grows.
The platform lacks a robust self-service review ecosystem — Capterra and G2 show fewer than 15 verified reviews, which makes independent evaluation difficult and signals a narrow customer base.
Annual manual app update requirements were a documented pain point before Field2Base moved to app-store distribution, reflecting a historical gap in automated delivery infrastructure.
Companies requiring modern analytics dashboards or real-time field reporting find Field2Base's reporting layer less mature compared to newer field service platforms like UpKeep or MaintainX that embed BI tooling natively.

What gets migrated
Field2Base object support
Object-by-object support for Field2Base migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Form Templates
Fully supportedForm templates are the top-level container defining form structure. We export the full template definition including all Region layouts, validation rules, drop-down options, and required-field flags. Templates are stable JSON structures exportable via the portal's Forms section.
Regions
Fully supportedRegions are the field-level definitions within a form template — including Text, Numeric, Date, Drop-Down, Checkbox, Camera, GPS, and Signature types. We preserve the complete Region configuration including field labels, data types, default values, and conditional visibility rules.
Mobile Forms (Submitted Records)
Fully supportedSubmitted forms are the primary data record containing all captured field values, timestamps, GPS coordinates, photos, and signatures. We export full submission records with their parent template linkage. Offline-draft submissions are flagged and cleaned before ingestion.
Users and Roles
Mapping requiredUsers, role definitions, and permission sets are managed through the Admin Portal. We export user accounts, role names, and access scopes. Role semantics differ significantly between tiers — Essentials supports basic user management while Small Business and Enterprise add granular permissions — so we map each role to the destination's equivalent access model.
Workflows
Mapping requiredWorkflows define the review-and-approval chain for submitted forms — typically a one-step review by an authorized reviewer. Workflow definitions include step order, approver assignments, and audit-trail settings. We export workflow definitions and map them to the destination's routing or approval logic.
Work Orders
Mapping requiredWork orders are pre-filled form templates sent to field workers with customer and job context. Work order numbering is automated via Field2Base's built-in sequence fields. We export work order records and map the pre-fill field values to the destination's job or task object.
Documents and Attachments
Mapping requiredSubmitted forms store attachments (photos, signatures, PDFs) linked to each record. We export binary attachments and associate them with the corresponding submitted form record in the destination system. Large photo galleries require chunked download handling.
E-Mail Templates
Mapping requiredE-Mail Templates define the message bodies and subject lines used in form notifications and workflow routing. Template variables and merge-field syntax vary from standard HTML email templates, so we map the content to the destination's notification template model.
Company Information Settings
Mapping requiredCompany-level configuration including branding, logo, and portal preferences is stored in the Admin Portal. These settings are configuration data rather than operational records, so we map them to the destination's org or account settings object.
Offline Drafts
Not in this platformIncomplete form submissions saved locally on mobile devices are not synced to the cloud until connectivity is restored. Drafts on decommissioned devices or devices not re-synced before migration are not accessible via API or portal export. We recommend forcing a device sync before migration cutover to capture pending drafts.
