Discover the simplest trade CRM
Key take-away
Fintrano
Is perfect if you want to keep things dead simple, work on any device, and focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. With all of the standard tools, but nothing industry-specific, we are a great all-in-one solution for mobile businesses.
Commusoft
Is also an all-in-one solution, aimed at much larger businesses. It is excellent if you need an app that tracks van inventory and files digital compliance certificates.
What is Commusoft?
Commusoft is an all in one field service and job management platform designed for multi trade businesses in both residential and commercial sectors. Commusoft aims at mid-sized to larger field services meaning their prices may be to significant for the smaller businesses.
What
Commusoft
does:
- It assigns engineers to jobs based on location, availability, and specific skill sets.
- Commusoft can optimise the route you must take to your destination.
- It stores full client records, communication logs, property histories, and site hazards.
- It automates and sends recurring text or email alerts for annual safety checks.
What to
consider
- The app has a very steep leaning curve meaning it may take large amounts of time to learn or understand.
- Scaling up your field team significantly drives up monthly software subscription costs.
When Fintrano
makes sense
Fintrano focusses on a simple and easy set up, meaning the time it takes for you to learn and understand how to use the app is little to nothing. This contrasts with Commusoft, whose set up is much more comlex, and may require hours or days of your time to learn and get used to.
Fintrano's philosophy
We believe software should adapt to the way that small businesses work, rather than expect you to adapt to the software. That's why we prioritise clarity and simplicity over unnecessary complexity.
- Platform freedom – Your team can use Android, iPhone, or a laptop; whatever you already have.
- Clear customer communication with 4 automated texts per job to confirm, remind, track, and request feedback.
- Zero learning curve – If you can use a calendar, you can use Fintrano. No templates to configure, no modules to learn.
- Customer experience focus – Automatic confirmations, reminders, live location tracking, and review requests are built in. Your customers get a premium experience without you lifting a finger.
- Review generation – Unlike Commusoft, we actively help you build your online reputation by requesting reviews after every job.
- Genuinely simple pricing – 80p per job (or 70p on Pro). No surprises. Scales with your business.
When Fintrano
isn't right:
- You want an app that lets you build professional, multi-option proposals natively to help increase job win rates.
- You need a system that calculates real-time job costing by factoring in your supplier expenses, travel times, and labour, keeping your exact margins clear.
- You want an app that tracks inventory levels across a warehouse, specific office hubs, and moving engineer van stocks.
