Fieldproxy vs the alternatives

Looking for a Salesforce Field Service alternative?

Salesforce Field Service is built for enterprise field service orgs already running on salesforce crm, 500+ technicians. Fieldproxy is the AI-native FSM that builds itself around your operation — describe a change in plain English and our platform implements it. Think Lovable, but for field service.

Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a Salesforce Field Service alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good Salesforce Field Service alternative?
Yes, particularly if you need AI Command Center — voice and chat agents for dispatch, quoting, and customer comms, built-in (not a separate Einstein add-on). Fieldproxy serves HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Telecom, Utilities, Manufacturing and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.
How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to Salesforce Field Service?
Salesforce Field Service pricing starts at $150-$300/user/month (FSL) + Salesforce license stack with $50,000-$500,000+ (Salesforce SI partner required) in setup fees. Fieldproxy uses transparent pricing tailored to your operation with no setup fees and a faster time-to-live (6-18 months → 1-3 weeks with Fieldproxy).
How long does it take to switch from Salesforce Field Service to Fieldproxy?
Most teams switch from Salesforce 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 Salesforce Field Service, the platform isn't locked into one vertical — it adapts to your specific HVAC operation.
Can Fieldproxy replace Salesforce Field Service for AI features?
Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways Salesforce 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. Salesforce 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 Salesforce Field Service?
Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes — describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. Salesforce 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 Salesforce 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.
