FAQ

Frequently asked questions

About Fieldproxy as a Smart Service alternative.

Is Fieldproxy a good Smart Service alternative?

Yes, particularly if you need AI Agents, voice and chat agents for dispatch, quoting, and customer comms. Fieldproxy serves HVAC, Plumbing, Pest Control and any other service vertical with custom workflows, AI dispatching, and transparent pricing.

How does Fieldproxy pricing compare to Smart Service?

Smart Service pricing starts at $60-$150/user/month with $500-$2,500 in setup fees. Fieldproxy is priced flat per organization with unlimited users, sized to your job volume, with a scoped one-time implementation and a faster time-to-live (1-4 weeks → within a day with Fieldproxy).

How long does it take to switch from Smart Service to Fieldproxy?

Most teams switch from Smart Service to Fieldproxy within a day. 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, from single crews to multi-region operations. Unlike Smart Service, the platform isn't locked into one vertical, it adapts to your specific HVAC operation.

Can Fieldproxy replace Smart Service for AI features?

Fieldproxy is AI-native in two specific ways Smart Service isn't. First, AI Agents handle dispatching, quote follow-up, customer comms, and route optimisation through voice or chat. Second, Command Center changes your setup on request: operators describe a workflow change in plain English, check the preview and confirm it, with one click to Undo. Autopilot also works follow-ups such as estimate approvals and unpaid invoices, posting a card for each one that a person approves. Smart Service typically needs add-ons for AI features, and its settings are changed by hand.

How quickly can I customize Fieldproxy compared to Smart Service?

Most workflow changes in Fieldproxy take minutes, describe what you want in plain English and the platform builds it. Smart 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 Smart Service?

Fieldproxy provides hands-on customer success support during onboarding plus ongoing access to our customization team. No ticket queues, changes are a conversation, not a billable change-order.
