Do you install or configure the software?

No. The vendor onboards you; that is what they are good at and what the subscription pays for. If you run our missed-call recovery loop, we connect to whichever of these you chose through its API — we do not sit inside your account.

Why not one of the enterprise platforms?

Because the three named here cover the operations this page is written for. An operation past fifty locations with a central dispatch floor is a different purchase, and we would say so on the call rather than stretch this page to fit it.

Are you paid if I sign up?

Where we are enrolled in a vendor’s partner programme, yes, and the link says so beside the button. The recommendation does not change with the commission: the scale rule above is the same whether or not a vendor pays us.

Recommendation · Multi-location home-services operators

Which field-service software fits a home-services operation with more than one location?

Under five locations and about twenty technicians, Housecall Pro or Jobber: both book online, both expose the booking events a recovery loop needs, and both cost a fraction of the alternative. At five or more locations, or once dispatch and per-location P&L matter, ServiceTitan — the reporting and the API are built for a multi-branch operation.

None of the links below currently pays us. If that changes, the button will say so. The recommendation is the same either way.

What decides it

· A booking API or webhook that reports the job, its source and its ticket value — without it no attribution is possible
· Per-location reporting that does not require a separate account per branch
· Online booking the customer can complete from a text message
· Total cost across all technicians, not the headline per-seat price
