Question 1

Is Omni Field an alternative to Field Service Cloud?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both are South African platforms for managing mobile technicians with job cards at the centre, and both charge only for the people in the field. Omni Field adds payment collection through Paystack, customer updates over WhatsApp, and local currency display across seven African countries.

Question 2

What does Omni Field cost?

Accepted Answer

There is a Free plan at R0. PaYu is R119 per month plus R99 per technician seat. Growth is R349 per month including one technician, then R189 per extra seat. Business is quoted. All advertised prices include 15% VAT, and admin and viewer users are free.

Question 3

Does Omni Field manage vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Not as a fleet product. Omni Field tracks technician location, verifies clock-in against a site geofence, and reports daily mileage per technician. If vehicle management is a core requirement rather than a by-product of tracking people, compare that specifically.

Question 4

Does Omni Field keep working when the signal drops on site?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within limits. The technician app is an installable PWA that tolerates a dropped connection. Work carries on and is held in a sync queue that uploads when signal returns. It is offline tolerant rather than a fully offline application, and that is a real distinction worth testing on your own sites.

Question 5

Where does the information about Field Service Cloud on this page come from?

Accepted Answer
