Service Pro vs Shipday

Service Pro is a field service management platform for organizations that service, install, and maintain physical equipment. Dispatchers can assign technicians to work orders, follow job status in real time, and keep customers informed. A color-coded, drag-and-drop scheduler filters technicians by location, skill level, and certification. Service calls can become work orders, including through call-to-quote and call-to-order conversions. The native mobile app runs on iOS, Android, and Windows devices and supports offline work. Technicians can review work orders, customer and asset history, and contract or warranty coverage, then record labor, parts, photos, and signatures. The mobile app can integrate with systems such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, and Viewpoint. API access requires a separately purchased Service Pro API Connector license. A subscription includes a secure hosted cloud environment, ongoing dedicated support, and account management. Pricing is customized, billed annually per user, and implementation fees also apply. MSI says free trials may be offered when appropriate for a customer's evaluation; customers are directed to contact sales.

Shipday is a delivery management platform for dispatching orders and coordinating drivers.
