Multi-company Field Service

Field service software for multiple companies and sister brands, in one account.

If you run two or more companies or brands, you should not need two systems, two logins and a spreadsheet to add them up. In Fieldproxy each company or brand is set up in the same account with what must stay separate: its branding, its document numbering, its price book and its accounting. Technicians who work for more than one company sit on one schedule, permissions decide who sees which company, and owners get one view across all of them. Set up around your structure and live within a day.

In buyers' own words

One owner, several companies, and nothing that adds them up.

Lines from our own sales calls with field service companies, lightly trimmed. Names and identifying details are left out.

  • “It's one company, two sisters. So how do those two brands align into one CRM?”

    Arborist running two sister brands

    In Fieldproxy: each brand is a company or business unit in the same account, set by job type, sharing one customer list where you want it shared.
  • “Give me the data separately, to generate a revenue separately for that particular part of the company.”

    Arborist running two sister brands

    In Fieldproxy: every job carries its company from its job type, so revenue, jobs and reports split by company without anyone tagging them.
  • “It just all goes over to QuickBooks as revenue.”

    Electrical and HVAC contractor with several divisions

    In Fieldproxy: invoices sync carrying their company or division, mapped during setup to how your accountant splits it, such as a class, location or tracking category.
  • “They're different files. And within those files, there's intercompany transactions that are being made.”

    Commercial HVAC group with sister companies

    In Fieldproxy: where each company keeps its own accounting file, each company's invoices and bills are set up to go to that company's file. We map and test this with your accountant before go-live.
  • “The other three companies... it's using the same technicians.”

    Commercial HVAC group with sister companies

    In Fieldproxy: a technician can work jobs for several companies from one app and one calendar, and each job's labour stays with the company that billed it.
  • “We have separate divisions... 6 different divisions.”

    Electrical and HVAC contractor

    In Fieldproxy: divisions inside one company are business units on the job type; separate legal companies are set up as companies. You can mix both.

Decide this first

A brand inside one company, or a separate company?

The answer is legal, not technical, and it decides the setup. Ask your accountant before you choose software.

Brands or divisions in one legal company

One tax registration, one set of books. Each brand or division is a business unit set on the job type, with its own job types, schedule, approvals and reporting. Invoices can carry the brand, and the accounting sync splits revenue by class, location or tracking category.

Separate legal companies

Each one issues its own invoices with its own name, tax number and numbering, and usually keeps its own accounting file. In Fieldproxy each company is set up in the same account with those things kept apart, and tested against a real month before go-live.

Kept separate

What each company keeps its own.

Each item below is set up per company during setup, from your real documents, not chosen from a fixed menu.

Branding

Logo, colours and company details on quotes, invoices, job reports, customer messages and the customer portal, per company.

Numbering

Quote, job and invoice numbers in each company's own sequence and format, so each company's books stay continuous.

Price books

Each company's items, labour rates, markups and flat-rate prices. A refrigeration company and a handyman company do not have to share a price list.

Accounting

Invoices, payments and bills sync two-way with QuickBooks Online, Desktop or Enterprise, Xero or Sage. Each company's records are mapped to its own accounting file, or to its own class or tracking category if you keep one set of books.

Shared

What the companies share, and the view across them.

The reason to run them in one account: one team, one schedule and one place to look.

Shared technicians

A technician who works for more than one company has one app and one calendar. Each job shows which company it is for, so the right paperwork and prices appear.

One schedule

Dispatch sees every company's jobs on one board, so a shared technician is never booked twice.

Shared customers, where you want them

A customer who buys from two of your companies can have one record with each company's jobs and invoices on it.

A combined view

Revenue, jobs, margin and open invoices per company, side by side, or added together for the group. Ask the Command Center for any split you need.

One setup of your process

Stages, forms and checklists can be shared across companies or differ where the work differs.

Unlimited users

Office, technicians and subcontractors for every company can all log in, without counting seats.

Insights you can split by company.

One schedule across companies.

Permissions

Who sees which company is a setting, not a second account.

Role-based access decides what each person sees and can change.

Staff limited to their company

An office manager or supervisor at one company can be limited to that company's jobs, customers and invoices.

Owners and finance see all

Owners and finance can see every company and the combined numbers.

Technicians see the job, not the books

Technicians can be kept from prices and from other companies' records, while still working jobs for each.

Customers see their own

The customer portal shows a customer only their own sites, jobs and invoices, branded for the company they deal with.

Worked example

How three sister companies run in one Fieldproxy account

An owner runs a service company, an installs company that bills projects, and a refrigeration company. Two of them share technicians, and each keeps its own books. Here is a job that crosses them.

  1. 1

    Companies are set up from real documents

    Each company's logo, invoice layout, numbering, price book and accounting file are set up from a month of its real invoices. Business units inside a company, such as residential and commercial, are added on job types.

  2. 2

    A customer buys from two companies

    Harbour Point has a maintenance agreement with the service company and asks for a cold room repair. The repair is booked as a refrigeration company job on the same customer record.

  3. 3

    A shared technician does the work

    Luis works for both companies. The repair appears on his one calendar, marked for the refrigeration company, with that company's price book and checklist.

  4. 4

    The invoice comes from the right company

    The invoice carries the refrigeration company's name, logo and next invoice number, and syncs to that company's accounting file. The service company's books never see it.

  5. 5

    The owner sees the group

    The owner asks the Command Center for revenue and margin by company this month, with shared technicians' hours split by the company they worked for.

Each company's paperwork and books stay its own, the shared technician has one calendar, and the owner sees all three companies in one place.

Names and figures in this example are demo data.

What you can change, and how

  • Companies and business units

    Which entities are separate companies and which are units inside one.

  • Documents

    Branding, layout and numbering per company for quotes, invoices, job reports and messages.

  • Price books

    Items, labour rates and markups per company.

  • Accounting mapping

    Each company to its own file, or to a class, location or tracking category.

  • Permissions

    Which roles see which company, and which see the group.

How it connects to the rest of Fieldproxy

When this is not the right fit

  • If your two brands are really one business with one price list and one set of books, a business unit on the job type is enough. Do not set up separate companies you do not need.
  • Intercompany charges, such as one company invoicing another for a shared technician's time, are an accounting decision. We set up what your accountant specifies and test it before go-live.
  • If the companies share nothing at all, no technicians, customers or owners, separate accounts may be simpler.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is there field service software for multiple companies in one account?

Yes. In Fieldproxy several companies or brands run in one account. Each is set up with its own branding, document numbering, price book and accounting, technicians can be shared on one schedule, and permissions decide who sees which company.

What is the difference between a business unit and a separate company?

A business unit is a section of one legal company, such as a brand or a division, sharing one tax registration and one set of books. A separate company issues its own invoices with its own name, tax number and numbering. Fieldproxy handles both, but your accountant should confirm which you are before setup.

Can sister companies share technicians?

Yes. A technician works jobs for several companies from one app and one calendar, and each job's labour stays with the company that billed it.

Can each company have its own QuickBooks file?

Each company's invoices, payments and bills are mapped to its own accounting file during setup, and tested before go-live. If you keep one set of books, each company or division maps to a class, location or tracking category instead.

Can staff at one company be kept out of the other's customers?

Yes. Role-based access can limit each person to their own company's jobs, customers and invoices, while owners and finance see everything.

Can a customer who buys from two of our companies have one record?

Yes, if you want it that way. The customer has one record with each company's jobs and invoices on it, and each invoice still comes from the company that did the work.

Can one account have different branding for each company?

Yes. Logo, colours and company details on quotes, invoices, job reports and the customer portal are set up per company.

Can each company have its own price book?

Yes. Items, labour rates and markups are set up per company, so a technician working for two companies sees the right prices on each job.

How is a shared technician's time split?

Each job belongs to one company, so the technician's hours on that job count toward that company in job costing and reports.

Run every company from one account.

Tell us how your companies are structured and send one month of invoices from each. We set up the companies, numbering, price books and accounting mapping, and test them against that month, live within a day.
