Platform Features
From first call to final invoice โ RevoField covers every step of the job lifecycle in one unified platform built for trade professionals.
Explore all featuresIt's the first week of June. Your phone hasn't stopped ringing since 7 AM. 38 no-cool calls, 12 tune-up requests, and 4 maintenance agreement visits that were already on the books. You open the calendar, see every tech's availability, and start dragging jobs into slots. Emergencies go first, tune-ups fill the gaps, and by 8:15 AM your whole day is dispatched. That's how you survive peak season.
These problems cost you jobs, customers, and revenue every week. They don't have to.
The first 95-degree day hits and your phone rings 40 times before lunch. Whiteboards can't keep up, spreadsheets fall behind, and your dispatcher is juggling calls instead of scheduling. By noon you've double-booked two techs and missed three callbacks.
You have no idea if next Tuesday is wide open or completely packed until you flip through the binder. You can't plan tech coverage, can't see who's overloaded, and can't tell a customer "we have an opening Thursday at 2" without putting them on hold for five minutes.
You sold 60 maintenance agreements last year but only scheduled half the tune-ups. The other half? Forgotten until the customer calls to complain โ or worse, doesn't call and just switches to someone else. That's recurring revenue walking out the door.
Your dispatcher answers the phone, writes down the address, hangs up, looks at the whiteboard, calls a tech, leaves a voicemail, calls another tech. Repeat 30 times a day. They're on the phone 7 hours and actually scheduling for maybe 1.
No training manuals. No week-long onboarding. Here's how scheduling actually works day to day.
Every new job lands in the unscheduled queue automatically โ whether your CSR creates it, the customer books it online, or it auto-generates from a maintenance agreement.
Jobs marked as emergency jump to the top of the queue with a red flag. Your dispatcher sees them immediately and knows they need to be assigned before anything else.
The week-view calendar shows every tech's availability side by side. Drag a job from the queue onto an open slot. If the slot is already taken, the system highlights the conflict so you never stack two jobs on the same tech at the same time.
Every schedule change syncs to the tech's mobile app in real time. They wake up, open the app, and see exactly where they're going and what they're working on โ no morning check-in call required.
Spring AC tune-ups and fall furnace inspections create themselves on the calendar based on the schedules you set. Your dispatcher just assigns the tech and confirms the date โ no manual tracking, no forgotten agreements.
See your entire week at a glance. Drag jobs onto techs, flag emergencies, and never double-book again.
From the 40-call Monday morning rush to auto-scheduling maintenance agreements six months out.
40+ calls a day, every one urgent to the homeowner. Priority triage puts actual emergencies at the top of the queue. Routine calls slot into open time blocks. Your dispatcher sees every tech's day in one view and fills gaps without overbooking anyone. The board handles the volume โ your team handles the customer.
Set spring AC tune-ups and fall furnace inspections as recurring jobs. They auto-populate on the calendar weeks in advance, so your dispatchers just assign the tech and confirm the appointment. No manual tracking, no forgotten agreements, no lost revenue from missed visits.
A full system replacement takes 1-3 days depending on the job. Create a multi-day job that blocks off the assigned techs for the full duration. The calendar shows the install spanning across days so nobody accidentally books those techs for a service call in the middle of a changeout.
No-cool in July. No-heat in January. These calls can't wait until tomorrow. The emergency queue holds incoming urgent jobs in a red-flagged list. Your dispatcher drags the job onto the first available tech's timeline. Customer gets an automatic notification with the tech's ETA. No phone tag, no guessing.
ServiceTitan scheduling handles complex multi-branch HVAC operations with capacity planning, zone-based routing, and call-center integration โ but it costs $300+/month with mandatory onboarding fees that can run into the thousands. If you're running 3-15 techs, you're paying for infrastructure you'll never use. Jobber's scheduling is simpler and gets the basics right, but their per-user pricing means a 10-tech HVAC crew pays significantly more than a 3-person team for the same features. The cost scales with headcount, not with value.
FieldEdge is built specifically for HVAC and has strong scheduling tools tied to their QuickBooks integration โ but that integration is mandatory, not optional. If you use a different accounting system or want to keep things simple, FieldEdge becomes harder to justify. Their pricing also requires a demo call to even see numbers, which usually means it's not cheap. Housecall Pro has a clean scheduling interface but lacks the priority queue and conflict detection that HVAC companies need during peak season when 40 calls a day is normal.
RevoField gives you priority scheduling with emergency flagging, drag-and-drop calendar with double-booking prevention, recurring job automation for maintenance agreements, and real-time mobile sync for your techs โ at $49/month flat. No per-user fees regardless of whether you have 4 techs or 14. No mandatory integrations. No onboarding fees. You sign up, set up your team, and start scheduling the same day.
