💥 FSM Software Series Continues – Insight for Doors Demo Breakdown
✅ Finance-First Architecture
Built around financials, job costing & profitability data
Ideal for companies doing $8-10M+ revenue
Full life-cycle management (dispatch, CRM, inventory, payroll, project management)
Extremely flexible but comes with a hefty $60K+ upfront investment
✅ Key Strengths:
Unmatched financial reporting & transparency
Fully integrated PO & inventory management systems
Significant credit card processing fee savings (under 2%)
Open API & scalability for complex businesses
❗ Areas for Improvement:
Lacks the “sexiness” and modern UX of ServiceTitan or FieldPulse
No customer-facing presentation mode for sales proposals
Requires heavy upfront investment & longer onboarding process
💡 Ryan’s Dilemma:
Do you invest heavily now to future-proof your business OR run leaner with FieldPulse until the next level of growth?
