Focused change-order ops vs generic field apps
Broad field service platforms optimize scheduling and invoicing. WorkGrid Pro focuses on estimate revisions, change orders, markup, and margin for specialty subcontractors who do not need a full suite on day one.
| Focus | Generic field apps | WorkGrid Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Estimate versioning | Often secondary | Core workflow |
| Change order templates + approvals | Varies / add-ons | First-class |
| Scheduling & dispatch | Strong | Out of scope (v1) |
| Payroll / accounting | Often bundled | Intentionally excluded |
| Time to value | Heavier setup | Narrow, fast adoption |
Do I need a full field service platform?
Not if your pain is estimate revisions, change-order approvals, and margin—not dispatch, payroll, or deep accounting.
What does WorkGrid Pro intentionally skip?
Payroll, ERP modules, and deep accounting integrations in v1—so the workflow stays lightweight.
