WhatsApp for field service: let customers book, track and pay on WhatsApp

Your customers already message you on WhatsApp. FieldN turns those messages into bookings, quotes, complaints and payments — and answers the "where is the technician?" question for you.

Quick answer

FieldN connects to the WhatsApp Business API on your own number. A WhatsApp assistant lets customers book a service and pay for it, ask for a quote, raise a complaint and check the status of a job. Your team sends invoices, estimates, job cards and payment links on WhatsApp, and contract invoices, renewal notices and marketing campaigns go out on WhatsApp too. Every message is kept on the customer's record. See everything in FieldN.

What customers can do on WhatsApp

Book a service

The assistant walks the customer through the service and details, and the booking lands in FieldN.

Ask for a quote

A quote request becomes a draft estimate for your team to price and send back on WhatsApp.

Raise a complaint

Complaints are logged with SLA timers, just like the portal.

Check job status

"Where is my technician?" answered without a phone call.

Pay for the booking

The assistant sends a payment link and confirms the booking only once the payment has really arrived.

Documents on WhatsApp

Invoices, estimates, job cards, payment links, contract invoices and renewal notices.

Three apps, one system: a booking portal and app for your customers, a technician app for Android and iPhone, and the office back end for dispatch, contracts, stock, invoices and HR. See all FieldN features.
