Who Salesforce Field Service suits
Where Field is different
- Field sends rosters to your team's phones to accept, with open shifts and swaps. Salesforce shows shifts for planning cover, but not crew accepting or swapping them.
- Field checks clock-ins against the job site and exports checked timesheets for payroll. Salesforce shows time sheets with approval, but not a job-site check or a payroll export.
- Field has safety forms and incident reports built in, and each team member keeps their own signed work record. Neither is shown on Salesforce's field service pages.

Frequently asked
Is Field a good alternative to Salesforce Field Service for a small team?
Field is built for solo businesses and teams in any industry. It puts jobs, quotes, invoices, rosters and timesheets in one app. Salesforce Field Service suits businesses that want field work tied into the wider Salesforce platform.
Does Field work with no signal like the Salesforce Field Service app?
Partly. Field saves clock-ins, notes and photos with no signal and syncs them later. Salesforce describes its mobile app as offline-first, with access to thousands of records without a connection.
Can customers book jobs online in both?
Yes. Field gives you an online booking page for customers. Salesforce says customers can schedule their own appointments and get real-time updates.
