FieldPulse website

Which one fits a home service company?

It depends on whether your work is projects or visits. FieldPulse's feature list (projects, inventory, assets and equipment) points at trades contractors. Birdy is built for visits: a lead becomes a quote, the quote becomes a job or a service plan, and the crew works through the day on their phones.

How do I move from FieldPulse?

Export what your current tool lets you export (customers, jobs, price items) as spreadsheet files, then upload them in Birdy under Settings, then Import. The importer guesses each column from its header, you fix any guess before anything is saved, duplicates are matched, and past jobs arrive as history. The steps are on the switching page.
