Job management for commercial HVAC companies

Every unit maintained.
Every hour accounted for.
Every defect quoted.

Busy is nice. Profitable is the business. FieldInsight schedules your planned maintenance automatically, puts the right checklist on every technician’s phone, and turns the work they’ve already done into reports, quotes and invoices — so you can see where every hour and every dollar went, not guess.

Built for Australian commercial HVAC & mechanical services companies with 5–50 technicians.

A quiet month isn’t good news. It’s a blind spot.

When service runs on an ageing job system, a safety app on the side and a WIP spreadsheet holding it together, the failure mode isn’t dramatic — it’s silent. Hours vanish into travel, faults die on dockets, and the true cost of a maintenance contract stays a mystery until renewal time.

LEAK-01Techs block out 8 hours and travel disappears inside it. You pay 40 hours a week; you can’t see which were productive.
LEAK-02Defects found on site get written on a docket and forgotten — unquoted, unfixed, un-billed.
LEAK-03PM contracts priced on gut feel — and the true cost of servicing never measured until renewal.
LEAK-04Reports rebuilt by hand: hours per maintenance report, photos chased across phones, invoices waiting on paperwork.
LEAK-05Data split across a job system, a safety app and Excel — so the only “dashboard” is exporting to a spreadsheet.

The whole job lifecycle in one system — not bolted together after it

Every feature below exists to answer one question from an owner, a service manager or an accountant: where did the time and money go?

Planned Maintenance

Auto-scheduled by asset — reports that write themselves

Load your asset register once. FieldInsight generates monthly, quarterly, six-monthly and annual service visits per asset type — DA19 regimes supported — flags anything unscheduled in colour, and helps you drag a month of PM out to the right techs. Client-ready PM reports assemble from completed checklists and photos. Nothing slips to the client phone call.

Mobile Field App

Evidence captured on site, even offline

Techs work through asset-specific checklists on their phone — readings, photos, signatures, defects — with safety (SWMS / JSA / Take 5) enforceable before the job can start. Works offline in the plant room; every record is time- and GPS-stamped against the asset.

Defect → Quote

No defect left on a docket

Faults are logged against the asset with severity and photos, then converted into a priced quote in a handful of clicks — with a digital approval button your client can hit from their inbox. Found work becomes won work.

Time & Money

Hours you can trust, invoices out same day

Clock-on / clock-off splits job time from travel from downtime — down to the asset. An award interpreter turns the same record into payroll-ready timesheets. Purchase orders reconcile against supplier bills (AI-scanned line items) before the invoice goes out, then sync to Xero or MYOB the day the job closes.

Dashboards

Drill from the number to the job to the fix

Profitability by client, by technician, by contract; punctuality; WIP without the spreadsheet. Every figure is traceable to its source — click it, see the jobs behind it, act on them.

Client Portal

Visibility for them too

Clients see job status, completed PM reports and quote approvals without chasing the office. You stop rebuilding the same PDF pack; they stop chasing email threads.

One platform · Every asset type

The right checklist for every unit. Configurable to yours.

Commercial HVAC isn’t one asset class. FieldInsight ships with configurable checklists and frequencies for the units you actually service — then maps them to your contracts at onboarding.

Configurable checklists and reports — not hard-coded forms

Build your own asset tests with dropdowns, readings, photo prompts and pass/fail logic; adjust report layouts, cover pages and logos per client. When a client wants their own format, you update the template — not your process.

Regimes shown are examples — your frequencies and checklists are configured to your contracts during onboarding. DA19 is an industry maintenance manual, not a statutory requirement.

From asset register to paid invoice

Order matters here — each step feeds the next.

STEP 01

Register assets

Import your splits, chillers, RTUs, vents and cool rooms with locations and service history. QR-code stickers rebuild the register on the first PM cycle.

STEP 02

Auto-schedule maintenance

Frequencies per asset type generate the month’s visits; unscheduled work surfaces in colour first. Drag a month of PM to the right techs in minutes.

STEP 03

Service & capture

Techs complete mobile checklists on site — defects become quotes; readings and photos become the service history.

STEP 04

Report & invoice

Client PM reports generate from completed records on your templates. Invoices sync to Xero or MYOB the day the job closes.

Also run a fire division? FieldInsight goes deep on AS1851 testing, AESMR / AFSS generation and defect-to-quote — same platform as your HVAC team.

If your answer to “which contracts made money last quarter?” lives in a spreadsheet and a gut feel, it’s worth 30 minutes to see the alternative. We’ll walk through your asset types, your maintenance contracts and your invoicing flow — with your real workflow, not a canned demo.
