Migrate your Powered Now data
UK-focused field service management app for trade businesses with built-in quoting, invoicing, and MTD compliance. Most at risk when a business scales beyond solo operations or needs a public API.
In its favor
Why people choose Powered Now
The signal that keeps Powered Now on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
UK-specific tax compliance built in — Making Tax Digital readiness means businesses avoid a separate accounting software subscription and stay HMRC-compliant from day one.
On-site payment collection via mobile card reader removes the lag between job completion and cash receipt, directly improving cash flow for sole traders and small firms.
Diary and scheduling tools let field engineers see their day on a mobile device, reducing phone calls to the office for job status updates.
Digital forms and certificates replace paper-based compliance documentation, saving time on admin and keeping certificates organised against each job.
Trusted by over 500 UK trade businesses with strong reviews on Trustpilot and G2, providing social proof that the platform is stable and well-supported.
Lack of a public API blocks integration with third-party tools and makes data portability difficult, forcing businesses to manually export records when switching platforms.
Pricing is per-user and can become expensive as a team grows, pushing smaller operators toward lower-cost alternatives with flat-rate pricing.
Advanced features such as Xero integration, time tracking, and custom reporting are gated behind higher tiers, creating upgrade pressure on businesses that only need one or two premium features.
The platform is UK-only in its compliance features, making it unsuitable for trade businesses operating in Ireland, the Isle of Man, or other UK-aligned jurisdictions with different MTD rules.

What gets migrated
Powered Now object support
Object-by-object support for Powered Now migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Jobs
Fully supportedJobs are the primary work entity containing job status, assigned engineer, scheduled date, notes, and attachments. We map Jobs 1:1 and preserve the current status and assigned owner so the destination system reflects the live workload without needing manual triage.
Clients
Fully supportedClients store contact details, addresses, and postcode lookups. We migrate all Client records including email, phone, and the full address block. The Arrival Assistant flag on a Client record is preserved as a boolean property on the destination.
Quotes
Mapping requiredQuotes carry line items, pricing, and a status (draft, sent, accepted, declined). We transfer the itemised quote lines and pricing, but the conversion status must be re-evaluated in the destination CRM since quote lifecycles differ across platforms.
Invoices
Fully supportedInvoices include line items, totals, payment status, and MTD tax alignment. We migrate all invoice records with full line-item detail, preserving the paid/unpaid status so finance reporting is accurate post-migration.
Diary / Scheduling
Mapping requiredDiary entries link a Job to a time slot and engineer. We export diary slots as structured date-range records with engineer assignment and flag any recurring diary patterns for manual rebuild on the destination if the target lacks a native recurring-slot concept.
Forms & Certificates
Mapping requiredDigital forms and certificates are blob-stored PDFs tied to a Job. We extract the binary files and associate them with their parent Job record. Certificate expiry dates are migration-critical because UK compliance requires active证书 coverage; we flag expired certificates separately so they can be renewed post-migration.
Purchase Orders & Supplier Invoices
Mapping requiredSupplier-side records track purchase orders and incoming supplier invoices. These map partially to Accounts Payable records in an ERP destination; we normalise the vendor and amount fields but note that PO approval status may not translate directly.
Contacts
Fully supportedUnlimited contact storage is a core feature. We migrate all contact records with name, email, phone, and company linkage. Contacts are related to Clients but represent individuals who may appear across multiple Jobs.
Expense Tracking
Mapping requiredExpenses are logged against Jobs or as standalone records. We map expense entries to the target system's expense or purchase record type and preserve the amount, category, and attribution to a Job.
Product Catalogue
Mapping requiredThe Product Catalogue stores priced items used in Quotes and Invoices. We migrate catalogue entries as products with unit price, but any pricing tiers or quantity-based discounts require manual review post-import.
Users / Engineers
Fully supportedUser accounts represent engineers and staff with role-based access. We migrate the user list and preserve role assignments so engineer-level diary access is replicated on the destination.
Attachments
Mapping requiredJob attachments (photos, signed forms, PDFs) are stored as blobs. We export attachments alongside their parent Job record and re-associate them by filename in the destination. Large photo sets may require chunked transfer to avoid timeout.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredPowered Now supports some custom property fields per Job or Client. We detect custom fields during discovery and map them to destination custom properties, noting that the destination schema may require pre-creation of matching fields before import.
