FieldBench vs Jobber
Jobber is solid field service software. FieldBench covers the same day-to-day and adds the parts of a repair shop that field-only tools leave out, at a flat price that does not move when you hire.
Why shops look for a Jobber alternative
Seat limits decide your org chart
When plans are tiered by user count, adding a helper can push you onto a bigger plan. FieldBench does not count heads. One price, unlimited employees, so headcount is an operations decision instead of a billing one.
Half your work never leaves the shop
Benches, intake, device history, and parts on the shelf are first-class in FieldBench, not something you bolt onto a job form designed for a visit.
Parts you can actually count
Scan a barcode with the camera to pull a part up, take one off the shelf with a tap, and get told when you are low. Every movement is logged, so you can find out where a part went.
What you get
- Jobs for bench, field, mail-in, and remote, on one board
- Scheduling, dispatch, and a live map of the day
- Estimates that turn into invoices without retyping
- Card payments through your own Stripe or Square account
- Automatic customer status updates, so the “is it ready” calls stop
- Barcode parts inventory with low-stock warnings
- Two-way QuickBooks Online sync
- A booking page, a live status page, and online invoice payment for your customers
What it costs
One flat price per shop with unlimited employees. Charging a shop per person to run its own business is a tax on hiring, so we do not do it.
Yearly and two-year terms cost less. Every tier includes unlimited employees.
Moving your data over
Bring your customer list over from a CSV export. FieldBench reads the standard columns (name, company, email, phone, address) and matches on phone or email as it goes, so re-running an import never duplicates anyone and your existing records are never overwritten.
Stuck on an export? Send it to will@daytonacomputerrepair.com and we will map it for you.
Try it on a real job
Take one job through it start to finish and see whether it fits how you actually work.
