Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

ServiceWorks is a field service management platform used by dispatchers, technicians, and office staff to manage scheduling, dispatching, and job tracking. Reviewers consistently praise how it organizes scheduling and job history. However, mobile app reliability draws the most complaints. ServiceWorks has recently expanded its AI capabilities with part prediction, job log summaries, and call transcription.

Our Verdict

ServiceWorks suits small to mid-sized service businesses that prioritize dispatch and job tracking as their core operational requirement. Its custom pricing suits businesses with diverse requirements. We recommend it for service businesses that prioritize scheduling accuracy and need to coordinate technicians across changing job assignments and service location

ServiceWorks Features

GPS Tracking

The platform lets dispatchers see each technician's current location in real time and pull up route history afterward. It gives the office a way to confirm arrival times or look into a delay without calling the technician directly.

Customer Portal

This feature gives customers a branded portal to book service, make payments, and view their service history without calling the office. Requests directly move to a self-service channel instead of going through the phone line.

See How It Works
E-Signature

ServiceWorks captures signatures for agreements, approvals, and field documentation directly on a technician's device. Work orders and forms get signed off on site that cuts out the step of tracking down and filing a paper copy later.

Customer Communication

Automated notifications send appointment reminders, technician enroute alerts, and job completion updates through email, SMS, and robocalls. These event-based messages keep customers updated throughout the service visit and limit the need for manual follow-ups.

See How It Works
Field Service Invoicing

The platform generates invoices and sends them automatically when jobs are completed, with options for batch, partial, and progressive invoicing. Payments can be collected in the field or through external payment links. Separate accounts with receivable trackers show outstanding customer and warranty balances.

“Avoid ServiceWorks at all costs”

Pros

The software has potential but the mobile app is completely unusable because of bugs and constant crashes.

Cons

The mobile app has more bugs than a rainforest and it's honestly unusable. When I raised the issues during the onboarding process, nothing got fixed. They just told me to keep trying. This software is so buggy that it shouldn't have been released yet.

“Struggling with ServiceWorks -”

Pros

When it works, it's great. About 80% of the time, the software works perfectly fine, just as it should.

Cons

The support is nonexistent. We submit tickets and they just close them without doing anything. We reopen them and we get no response. I've been waiting on an urgent ticket and all they've told me is "try again in 2-5 days." I also have a ticket that's been open for a year now.

“Could do better with QuickBooks Online”

Pros

As the bookkeeper for a Serviceworks user I find the software collects detailed information that helps me prepare the financials.

Cons

The interface with QuickBooks Online was a nightmare to set up. There were so many errors, like missing invoices. We had to give up and just pull reports manually instead. The reports are also hard to trust because of all the variations and you have to complete jobs in a specific way to get accurate sales data. The POS system was built on top of the existing software and it doesn't match the workflow for retail customers. Customer support was available but they didn't seem to know much about how this all ties into accounting.
