Is Field a good alternative to FieldPulse for a small electrical team?

It can be, if your team's shifts and hours are the main headache. Field keeps jobs, quotes, invoices, rosters and timesheets in one place. FieldPulse goes further on project management, inventory and asset tracking.

Does Field work with no signal like FieldPulse's offline mode?

Partly. In Field, clock-ins, notes and photos save on the phone and sync when signal comes back. FieldPulse's mobile app saves jobs, forms and timesheets offline, but it cannot take payments offline.

Can my crew fill in safety forms in Field?

Yes. Field has safety forms and incident reports. FieldPulse also has custom forms that can be used for safety checklists and inspection reports.
