The real comparison

One system vs two

Most MEP contractors run service calls and project work. FieldEdge is built for field service — here’s what that means day to day.

Running on FieldEdge

  • FieldEdge for dispatch, service tickets and invoicing
  • A separate project tool for submittals, RFIs, AIA billing and CPM
  • Two customer lists and two logins — re-keying between them
  • Two bills, and nothing ties the estimate to the job and the invoice

Running on MEPSub

  • Service and projects on one customer and job record
  • Estimate → job → invoice without re-keying
  • Core + the packs you use: one side $27/user, both sides $33/user
  • Phone system built in — MEPSub Phone puts calls, texts and fax on the same record
  • One login for office and field — month-to-month, no setup fee
