WEX FSM

Overview

WEX FSM is field-service software for trade contractors coordinating office workflows and work in the field. It is best suited to HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing businesses that want scheduling, customer records, proposals, and payments in one system. Its range of payment methods and field tools is a strength, but the free plan is payment-focused and costs can rise with payment volume or integrations.

Key features

Scheduling and field work

The dispatch board combines drag-and-drop scheduling with dispatch groups and coverage zones; GIS maps and technician navigation help coordinate work across service areas. Offline mode supports technicians who need to keep working away from a reliable connection. These capabilities make WEX FSM a stronger fit for teams managing active field schedules than for contractors seeking only a low-cost way to take payments.

Customer records and proposals

Customer accounts can hold service records, notes, attachments, and contact details, including for customers with multiple locations. Technicians can prepare proposals in the field, compare replacement options, and include financing choices. Equipment tracking and histories, estimates, invoices, job costing, and service agreements extend the workflow beyond dispatch, giving office and field staff useful context around jobs and assets.

Payments and integrations

Payment methods include card processing, mobile card readers, online pay, mobile check imaging, ACH, and recurring payments. Customers can also pay through email or text links, a Bluetooth reader, or entered card or bank details. QuickBooks Online and Desktop sync support accounting workflows; Azuga vehicle tracking, Profit Rhino and Enhanced Pricebooks, and Advanced Reporting are also integrations. Third-party integrations may incur extra fees, so businesses relying on connected tools should account for that cost.

Support is available by chat, phone, or email Monday through Friday, 8am–7pm EST. Onboarding includes data cleansing and loading, team onboarding, and training resources. WEX FSM is made by a Portland, Maine company founded in 2012; Payzer was acquired by WEX in late 2023 after more than a decade serving the trades.

Pricing

WEX FSM uses a freemium model, with paid pricing from $69/mo. The Free plan costs nothing and includes debit and credit card processing, mobile card readers and online payments, multi-lender financing, instant loan applications, mobile check imaging, and ACH. It is a useful starting point for payment workflows, but it does not include the listed Enterprise scheduling and dispatch features.

Payment Options is billed Free with card and/or financing volume over $25,000/mo; it costs $69/mo if volume is under that threshold. It includes card processing, mobile readers and online pay, financing, instant loan applications, mobile check imaging, ACH, and recurring payments. Contractors should weigh monthly volume against the fee and remember that additional costs apply to the flat-rate pricing feature and third-party integrations.

Enterprise has custom pricing and includes customer appointment notifications, drag-and-drop scheduling, dispatching and navigation, invoicing, job costing, and equipment tracking. It is the relevant plan for businesses that need the core service-management workflow. Unlimited also has custom pricing and offers unlimited users, making it the plan to consider when seat capacity matters; the listed features do not establish its other inclusions.

Platforms

WEX FSM supports Android, iOS, and web, with a technician mobile app for field work. Offline mode and mobile payment options are particularly useful for teams whose work takes them away from the office.

Who it's for

WEX FSM suits trade contractors who need dispatch, customer and equipment histories, field proposals, invoicing, and multiple ways to collect payment. HVAC businesses can also compare it with HVAC Software, while broader buyers can browse Field Service Management Software. It is less compelling for a business seeking a complete scheduling workflow at no charge or one that needs predictable costs without payment-volume conditions and possible integration fees.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Scheduling, maps, navigation, and offline work address both dispatch planning and field execution.
• Pro: Customer records, equipment histories, proposals, estimates, and invoices connect useful job context across the workflow.
• Pro: Card, ACH, check imaging, recurring payments, and financing give contractors several collection options.
• Con: The Free plan is centered on payments, not the listed Enterprise dispatch and scheduling workflow.
• Con: Payment Options costs $69/mo below $25,000/mo in card and/or financing volume, and integrations may add fees.

Alternatives

• ServiceM8 is worth considering for a very small operation that can work within its free plan's one-user and 30-jobs-per-month caps; it also offers a free trial.
• Tradify is an option for buyers preferring a paid plan with a stated per-user monthly price: Lite is $47 a month, billed at $47 USD per user/month, and includes job management, scheduling with Google Calendar sync, quoting, and invoicing.
• BigChange may suit buyers seeking a broader package that includes support, CRM, scheduling, a mobile app, live tracking, quotes and invoices, business intelligence, and collaboration, with pricing by request.
• ServiceWorks is another paid option; its Bronze plan is $150 a month with a monthly program fee.
• Fieldpoint is an alternative for buyers willing to request a demo for pricing.
• Joblogic offers a free trial and a Standard plan at £45 a month, billed annually.
• AroFlo may suit teams prepared for a minimum of three users at $80 a month per user.
• BuildOps offers custom pricing based on crew size, trades, modules, integrations, and field and office users.

Verdict

Choose WEX FSM if your trade business needs dispatch and field workflows alongside detailed customer records, proposals, and flexible payment collection. Its breadth is the main reason to pick it; the volume-based Payment Options charge and possible integration fees are the main reasons to compare costs carefully or look elsewhere.
