Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service alternative?
Yes, particularly if you need AI Command Center — voice and chat agents built in, not a separate Copilot SKU you have to license. Fieldproxy serves HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Manufacturing, Telecom, Utilities and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.
How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service pricing starts at $95-$170/user/month + Dynamics CRM license stack with $30,000-$300,000+ (Microsoft partner usually required) in setup fees. Fieldproxy uses transparent pricing tailored to your operation with no setup fees and a faster time-to-live (4-12 months → 1-3 weeks with Fieldproxy).
How long does it take to switch from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service to Fieldproxy?
Most teams switch from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service to Fieldproxy in 2-4 weeks. We provide free migration consultation, data export assistance, and a parallel-run period to minimise disruption.
Does Fieldproxy work for HVAC?
Yes. Fieldproxy is used by HVAC businesses ranging from 5 to 500+ technicians. Unlike Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service, the platform isn't locked into one vertical — it adapts to your specific HVAC operation.
Can Fieldproxy replace Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service for AI features?
Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service isn't. First, the AI Command Center handles dispatching, quote follow-up, customer comms, and route optimisation through voice or chat. Second, Fieldproxy uses AI-driven customization — operators describe a workflow change in plain English and the platform builds it live. It's the closest thing to Lovable, for FSM. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service typically requires third-party AI add-ons for the first capability and has no equivalent of the second.
How quickly can I customize Fieldproxy compared to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service?
Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes — describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service typically requires either an admin's clicks across multiple config screens, or a paid professional-services engagement for anything non-trivial.
What customer support does Fieldproxy offer compared to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service?
Fieldproxy provides hands-on customer success support during onboarding plus ongoing access to our customization team. No ticket queues, no implementation fee for changes.
