Fergus vs Opsler

Fergus is job management software for trades and service businesses, covering work from customer enquiry and quoting through scheduling and invoicing. Teams can prepare professional quotes and use a customisable calendar to assign jobs. Job Cards gather information such as quotes, purchase orders, costs, reporting, and customer details. The mobile app for iOS and Android supports quoting, invoicing, and job management, with real-time tracking of time, materials, and safety. Fergus lists recurring jobs, route optimisation, and offline mode. Accounting integrations with Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB can sync business information. Supplier integrations can import invoices and match them to jobs; premium supplier connections add pricebook updates, purchase orders, and invoice reconciliation. A Zapier integration connects Fergus to more than 3,000 apps. The product is made by Fergus, headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand. Its 14-day free trial of Essentials starts without a credit card. Features are offered in set tiers rather than selected individually. Listed additional charges include certificates at $30 for 1–9 staff or $80 for 10+ staff, SMS at $15 per 100 texts, and credit-card payments at 2.95% + $0.30 per transaction. Local support in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom is available by phone, live chat, and email.

Opsler is a field service management platform for scheduling and dispatch, customer management, invoicing and technician work. Its documented 42 features span sales, scheduling, field work, customers, billing, inventory and reporting. The Field Agent app lets technicians access assigned jobs, update status, complete checklists, capture photos and signatures, create invoices and record payments offline, then sync later. Customers can use a token link without logging in to track technician ETA, approve estimates with OTP verification and a signature, view job and invoice history, pay, message technicians and check warranties. Accounting exports support manual import to QuickBooks Online, Xero or generic CSV; the platform does not provide live two-way accounting sync. Opsler states it charges a 0% platform fee for payments, while businesses use their own processor and rates. The free Budding plan allows two seats and 50 jobs per month. Pro costs $25 a month, has no seat minimum and includes all 42 features. Devices install from a browser rather than an app store.
