FieldBin vs PumpDocket

FieldBin is field management software for service companies and trades businesses, with scheduling, dispatching, customer records, invoicing, inventory and reporting. Its drag-and-drop calendar works from any device and lets users assign technicians to jobs. The CRM tracks client details, pipeline information and service or maintenance reminders. FieldBin can send invoices, accept online credit-card payments through Stripe and automatically send payment reminders. Technicians can check in and out using mobile apps, recording geo-tagged timestamps. The apps are available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, alongside web access. Other listed capabilities include estimates, route optimization, recurring services and customer follow-up; online booking is not offered. Integrations include Intuit QuickBooks and two-way SMS through a dedicated business phone number, but email and personal calendar integrations are not supported. Every plan includes unlimited live support, and personalized virtual onboarding is available. Basic costs $19 a month for one user. Sync costs $65 a month for one or five users and adds QuickBooks Sync and two-way SMS. A free trial is available, but there is no free plan.

PumpDocket is dispatch, compliance, and invoicing software for recurring routes that service septic tanks, grease traps, and portable restrooms. It assigns jobs to routes, notifies drivers, and displays job status in real time. Drivers can record gallons, destination, notes, photos, and checklists when closing a job on a phone; job details can queue offline and sync when signal returns. Completed work flows into same-day invoices, with online payments through Stripe. A customer portal supports appointment confirmation, rescheduling, invoice viewing, and payments, while proposals can be signed digitally. For compliance, the software maintains 50-state septage and FOG profiles with cited source trails, trip-ticket support, retention references, and jurisdiction notes. Portable-restroom operators can track unit deployment, servicing, and inventory. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, and supports Stripe, QuickBooks, and Twilio integrations, with Google Calendar sync listed on the pricing page. Plans are billed monthly: Starter is $99 a month, Team is $230 a month, and Fleet is $454 a month. A 30-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
