Run your service business from one connected FSM platform.
OctopusPro helps small field service businesses manage leads and enquiries, quotes and estimates, bookings and appointments, scheduling and dispatch, fieldworkers, customers, invoices, payments, reporting, online booking and customer self-service from one cloud-based field service management software platform.
Replace spreadsheets, paper job sheets, manual calendars, scattered messages and disconnected invoicing tools with a professional service business system built to help small teams look organised, respond faster and grow without adding unnecessary admin.
Stop losing jobs, time and cash flow between the first enquiry and the final payment.
Small field service businesses usually do not fail because they lack demand. They struggle because demand becomes difficult to control: enquiries arrive from multiple channels, quotes go cold, jobs are scheduled manually, fieldworkers need constant calls, invoices are delayed and customer history becomes hard to find.
Capture more demand
Turn website enquiries, phone calls, customer portal requests and manual office entries into organised leads, quotes, bookings and follow-up tasks.
Schedule with less back-and-forth
Plan jobs using live availability, fieldworker skills, service areas, booking rules, calendar views and manual or automated dispatch workflows.
Get paid with less chasing
Create quotes and invoices, collect deposits or payments, send reminders, track outstanding balances and reduce double entry with accounting integrations.
Manage every stage of service delivery from one place.
OctopusPro connects your lead-to-cash workflow so your office, fieldworkers and customers can move from enquiry to booking, job completion, invoicing, payment, review and repeat service without disconnected tools.
