To help provide greater visibility into project timelines and costs, we’re now collecting a reason for repeat work order check-ins and job status information when you mark a work order complete.
More Accurate Provider Removal Reasons
When buyers select a cancellation or unassign reason that negatively impacts your Cancellation Rate, they’ll see an alert before being prompted to confirm or choose another reason.
Reliability Metrics Updates
Your Timeliness and Cancellation Rates are now visible to Buyers in the new Match experience, and they can filter based on their company’s quality thresholds. A focus on improving and maintaining these metrics can set you apart on the marketplace.
Business Dashboard
The all-new Business Dashboard is filled with data + insights to help Providers grow their businesses on Field Nation – including key performance metrics Buyers look at when vetting, their relationship insights, and a section to keep a pulse on their overall business performance.
Pre-Approved Expenses
Pre-Approved Expenses are now displayed below labor rate on the Work Orders page in the mobile app, making it easier for buyers to categorize expenses and easier for you to see how much the buyer will cover for travel or materials.
Pre-site Pickup
