For independent techs on Field Nation & WorkMarket

Do the job once.
Enter it once.
Know what you earn.

FieldWorkIQ connects work orders, schedule, mileage, expenses, receipts, earnings and cash flow — so the same information keeps working after the job is done.

What it does

Enter it once. It shows up everywhere it's needed.

One connected record carries schedule, hours, expenses, receipts, kilometres and payment information. That same record becomes the source for actual effective rate, cash-flow reporting and tax records instead of being recreated in separate apps.

01 · Work orders

The assignment email becomes the job automatically.

When an assignment arrives, FieldWorkIQ can create the work order with its schedule, pay, location and marketplace reference. A Field Nation screenshot can also be used when that is faster.

02 · Actual effective rate

See what the job really paid per hour.

Recorded earnings are compared with the time the job actually consumed: work, drive and travel hours, plus expenses. The result is the actual effective rate for completed work — not a prediction.

Actual effective rate
03 · Receipts

Attach the receipt. That's the whole task.

Attach the receipt to the work-order expense and choose the category. FieldWorkIQ keeps the expense tied to the job, gives the file a consistent name and files it in the designated year/month folder.

04 · Money

Every dollar in and out, including the ones that aren't jobs.

Recurring expenses can be entered once and posted each month. Add one-time costs, outside income, account balances and cards. Cash flow then reflects the whole picture rather than only completed work orders.

05 · Mileage

One odometer photo a day. No GPS following you around.

Use odometer readings and the jobs actually worked that day. Business and personal kilometres stay separated and the deduction amount is calculated from the configured rate.

Mileage log
06 · Daily map

See today's work at a glance.

Select a date and open a map showing each scheduled job with its start and finish time. It is intentionally simple: where you need to be and when.

07 · Field & desk · 08 · Excel

Phone in the van. Excel at the kitchen table. Same numbers.

Update work, receipts and mileage from the phone, then refresh those records into the spreadsheet you already use. Existing formulas, PivotTables, charts and reports can keep working without retyping the month.

  • Phone + web
  • Field-friendly updates
  • Import once, refresh later
  • Keep existing Excel reports
One connected chain

Nine steps that currently live in nine places.

Each stage feeds the next. When that chain is maintained manually, the admin burden is re-entering and reconciling the same information again and again.

Vs. the stack you're running now

Four subscriptions that have never heard of each other.

Mileage tools, receipt apps, bookkeeping software, field-service suites and spreadsheets each solve one part. FieldWorkIQ's advantage is that the marketplace work order is the common record connecting those parts.

Tax records

March is when a missing logbook gets expensive.

Mileage and receipts matter most when they were recorded as the work happened. FieldWorkIQ keeps the trip record and supporting expense files connected to the jobs instead of leaving reconstruction for later.

Mileage

Written down as it happened

Date, distance, related jobs and business/personal separation remain in one mileage record.

Mileage
Hand-off

Your accountant gets a folder, not a shoebox.

Receipts are organized with recognizable filenames and can sit beside the mileage export and expense list.

Who it's for

One tech with a van. Or five.

The same connected records can support a solo technician or a small crew without turning the workflow into an enterprise deployment.

Solo

The independent tech

Marketplace work, your own vehicle, your own expenses and a spreadsheet that needs current numbers.

  • Actual job economics
  • Mileage records that stay current
  • Receipts filed when captured
Small team

The two-to-five crew

Assign work, track who is doing what and keep the financial view across the team in one place.

  • Technician assignment per WO
  • Commission/deduction handling
  • Shared cash-flow visibility
Early access

Stop reconstructing last month. Start knowing this week.

FieldWorkIQ is being prepared for independent technicians and small crews who want the admin around marketplace work to stay connected to the jobs themselves.
