- Route optimisation — you see the day on a map and set the order yourself
- GPS tracking of technicians
- QuickBooks sync — QuickBooks is a one-time import, not a live connection
- Consumer financing for customers
- Change orders and progress (milestone) billing
- Membership or service-agreement billing
- Equipment and asset tracking
- Marketing campaigns (email or postcards) and call tracking
- Aerial or satellite measurements
Switching from FieldEdge
Fixerlane imports from QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop export files — Excel, CSV, IIF or the Export data .zip — and brings in customers, products and services, past invoices and estimates. You check what it found before anything is saved, nothing is emailed to your customers, and an import can be undone. There is no direct import from FieldEdge.
If your FieldEdge account syncs to QuickBooks, your customers and invoices are already there: export them from QuickBooks and upload the files to Fixerlane. Jobs, schedules and photos stay in FieldEdge. Every list and report in Fixerlane exports as CSV, so leaving is as easy as arriving.
The trial is 7 days with no card, so you can run a real week in Fixerlane alongside FieldEdge before you cancel anything.
Common questions

- FieldEdge does not publish prices. Its pricing page (checked October 4, 2026) asks you to request pricing and says the price depends on team size and add-ons.
- Does FieldEdge have a free trial?
- No. Its pricing page says it does not offer one and onboards new customers itself. Fixerlane has a 7-day trial with no card.
- What does FieldEdge do that Fixerlane does not?
- Texting customers, QuickBooks Online and Desktop integration, and marketing tools on its top plan. Fixerlane has none of these.
