Housecall Pro: Field Service 2025.6.11

Housecall Pro is a leading platform in the field service management industry, designed to support the operational needs and growth of home service providers across various trades, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general handyman services. Its focus is on reducing administrative burdens so professionals can dedicate more time to client service and business expansion.

Scheduling and dispatching are made more efficient with mobile access, allowing field technicians to modify their schedules directly from their phones. The platform offers a user-friendly drag-and-drop calendar for managing appointments, setting recurring jobs, assigning teams, and scheduling specific arrival windows. Job details can be sent directly to technicians' calendars, complemented by automatic phone notifications for updates, alongside in-app messaging features that facilitate real-time communication. Additionally, notes and photos can be attached during service calls to improve record-keeping and communication.

Customer engagement is enhanced through features that help deliver a professional experience. Automated status updates and “on-my-way” notifications keep clients informed. The system also supports sending reminder texts and emails for appointments, as well as requesting reviews from satisfied customers to foster reputation management.

Online booking capabilities allow clients to schedule appointments via your website, Yelp, or Facebook — with real-time availability shown for direct booking of open slots. This expands convenience for customers and reduces manual scheduling efforts.

The platform simplifies financial transactions by enabling creation, modification, and sending of estimates and invoices from any device. Automatic emailing of receipts ensures clear communication, while flexible options to add line items or additional services during appointments enhance billing accuracy.

Payment processing supports multiple methods including cash, checks, and credit/debit cards. Credit card transactions are streamlined through the app, with the option to send digital invoices via SMS for customer payments. Funds are deposited directly into your bank account, and larger projects can be financed through integrated consumer financing solutions.

Marketing tools include automated email communications such as reminders and thank-yous, along with the ability to send targeted postcards directly to customers’ homes—helping maintain client relationships and promote repeat business.

GPS time tracking provides real-time location data of your team members at job sites—reducing miscommunication and enabling optimal scheduling based on proximity.

Housecall Pro seamlessly integrates with QuickBooks Online—allowing data import of job histories, client details, and pricing lists, along with easy reconciliation of payments and invoices. This integration ensures that your financial records stay synchronized without manual input.

Advanced reporting features enable tracking key performance metrics through customizable widgets. These insights assist in making informed decisions aimed at optimizing marketing strategies and operational efficiency.

Administrators can rely on robust security measures including automatic cloud data synchronization, role-based permissions for employees, real-time job status tracking from the office, and the ability to export customer or job data at any time.

The platform has received notable industry recognition as a top-performing field service management solution (Capterra), a category leader on GetApp for three consecutive years, and an excellent rating on Trustpilot for its business services reputation.

The available subscription tiers—Basic ($59/month), Premier ($169/month), and MAX ($299/month)—offer a range of features designed to accommodate businesses of varying sizes.
