In its favor
Why people choose FieldAware by GPS Insight
The signal that keeps FieldAware by GPS Insight on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Lowest tier price point among mid-market FSM platforms at $49/month for 2 users, making it accessible for small service businesses evaluating field service software before committing.
Native offline-capable mobile apps mean technicians can complete jobs and capture signatures in areas with intermittent connectivity, reducing data loss on dead zones.
Built-in route optimization and schedule dispatching reduces first-response travel time and prevents double-booking technicians on overlapping jobs.
End-to-end flow from customer creation through invoicing is praised for logical consistency, with quotes, work orders, and payment processing in one unified workflow.
Integration ecosystem with NetSuite connector and technology partners like Domo and Prontoforms allows field service data to sync into broader ERP and BI stacks.
Support fragmentation where multiple agents respond to a single ticket asking redundant questions creates confusion and delays resolution, especially for billing or refund issues.
Refund processing workflow is widely reported as confusing and error-prone, requiring detailed knowledge of job status to route correctly, which frustrates accounting staff.
Mobile app syncing problems and occasional data loss during orientation changes or typing on Android devices cause technicians to lose completed job data.
Limited automatic customer text alerts and poor secondary technician job visibility on active work orders create communication gaps on multi-tech jobs.
Advanced customizations and deeper configuration options often require vendor assistance rather than self-service within the platform.

What gets migrated
FieldAware by GPS Insight object support
Object-by-object support for FieldAware by GPS Insight migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomers in FieldAware link to one or more Locations and Contacts. We migrate the customer record including service address, billing details, and linked hierarchy intact. Customer IDs are system-assigned and must be mapped to destination identifiers during import.
Locations
Fully supportedLocations represent service addresses under a Customer. FieldAware supports multiple locations per customer. We preserve the parent-to-child relationship and any location-specific custom fields during migration.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are linked to Customers and Locations. Each contact can have an assigned role. We migrate contacts with name, email, phone, and role, preserving their association to the parent customer and location.
Jobs (Work Orders)
Fully supportedJobs are the core operational record in FieldAware, containing scheduling, asset assignments, line items, and job history. We export the full job lifecycle including status transitions, assigned technicians, and timestamps. Custom fields on Jobs require declaration recreation at the destination.
Invoices
Fully supportedInvoices are generated from completed Jobs and include line items, tax codes, and payment status. We migrate invoice records including amounts, due dates, and whether payment has been received. Voided or refunded invoices are flagged separately.
Assets
Mapping requiredAssets represent equipment at a Location and are linked to Jobs for tracking maintenance history. Asset serial numbers, model numbers, and custom fields migrate, but asset-to-job linkage requires reconstruction at the destination if the target system uses a different linking schema.
Items
Fully supportedItems represent parts and services used on Jobs, with name, part number, description, and unit price. We export the item catalog and preserve pricing, though pricebook customization from the Premium tier must be mapped if the destination uses a different pricing structure.
Quotes
Fully supportedQuotes in FieldAware are pre-job estimates that can be converted to Jobs or Invoices. We migrate quote records with line items, totals, and status. Converted quotes retain a reference to their resulting Job ID where present.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks in FieldAware are checklist items or sub-tasks within a Job. We migrate Tasks with their completion status and link them back to their parent Job. Custom fields on Tasks are supported but require destination declaration.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields are declared per entity type (Job, Invoice, Asset, Customer, Contact, Location, Task, Item) and support Text, Number, CheckBox, Dropdown, Date, and Time types. Format type is immutable after creation. We export declarations as metadata and map values to destination custom fields, handling Dropdown option lists carefully to avoid value mismatches.
Users / Technicians
Mapping requiredUser accounts include role-based permissions tied to the plan tier. Starter caps at 2 users, Professional at 10, Premium is unlimited. We audit all active user accounts against the current plan cap and flag any over-limit users before migration scoping.
Job History
Fully supportedFieldAware maintains a chronological job history log per asset or customer. We export historical records including timestamps, technician assignments, and resolution notes. Large histories are chunked into manageable export batches to avoid API timeouts.
