Bought doesn’t mean used.

The receipt shows the purchase. It doesn’t show how much went into this repair.

Follow a job through costing.

Choose a whole-job review or follow one purchase from the field to the office.

For crews in the field
and teams in the office.

The crew knows what happened on site. The office has the timesheets, bills and estimates. Fieldsum shows how those records fit together across service and maintenance work.

JOB STORY

What did the repair actually cost?

Follow the technician and office as the records come together.

Read the transcript

Stock photography illustrates the scenario. Narration is synthetic.

The job is finished.

Its costs are not.

Labour, parts, supplier charges and equipment time can land in different places.

Fieldsum is designed to bring those records together.

When the evidence and your costing rules agree,

routine costs can close without another entry.

Check whether a quoted allowance and a supplier bill describe the same cost.

Count the supported expense once, and keep both records.

Missing or conflicting information stays open for the right person.

See what changed against the estimate before pricing the next job.

Start with 10 completed jobs.

Find what’s unresolved, what changed the cost and how much office work it takes.

What the review includes
  1. What’s missing and who can answer. A list of open records, the person who can resolve each one and the next step.
  2. What actually changed the cost. A comparison with the estimate, using the records available and showing anything still open.
  3. How much office work costing takes. Compare the current process with the trial. Track which jobs reconcile correctly without a new reply or approval, which need a follow-up, and how many office minutes each takes.

Send a review request to the person who shared Fieldsum with you. We’ll agree on the records and scope up front, including any time needed to read handwritten notes, check receipt photos or clarify unclear entries.
