Where Quickler fits

Where Quickler fits, and where not.

An honest account of what Quickler does differently from other field compliance tools, and the cases where a different tool is the right pick. Rooted in UK compliance, works anywhere WhatsApp does.

What is different

Three deliberate choices

The engineer interface is WhatsApp, so there is no separate app to install or learn. Pricing is 20 pounds per active user a month, and dormant users are free, so you can add your whole team and only pay for who actually works. Voice notes are accepted and transcribed, so an engineer can speak a long answer instead of typing it.

Where it is the right pick

A good fit when

  1. 1

    You run the same workflow often

    A trades or inspection firm running compliance workflows in the field, with EICR, CP12, van walkround or site report repeated many times per week, anywhere WhatsApp works.

  2. 2

    The office still rebuilds notes

    Real hours per week go on turning rough site notes into formatted reports, and engineers have rejected or never adopted a dedicated field-service app.

  3. 3

    You want predictable cost

    Pay 20 pounds per active user a month, with dormant users free, instead of a licence for every name on the payroll. Only pay for who works.

Where a different tool wins

Honest pointers elsewhere

Full platform

SimPro, Joblogic, Fergus

If you need scheduling, dispatching, quoting, invoicing and asset tracking in one place, Quickler is intentionally narrower.

 Template library

iAuditor

If you want a large marketplace of pre-built inspection templates off the shelf, iAuditor is the established choice.

 Certificates and fleet

iCertifi, FleetCheck

For a wide range of UK certificate formats from day one, or full fleet management beyond the daily walkround, a dedicated tool fits better.

If you are choosing a compliance or field service tool for a trades or inspection firm, here is an honest account of what Quickler does differently and the cases where a different tool is the right pick. Quickler is rooted in UK compliance and works anywhere WhatsApp does, used across English-speaking markets including the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, for any inspection or checklist, not just one trade. Quickler works in any country. We have not used every product on the market and will not pretend to have an inside view of pricing or feature roadmaps we have not verified.

What Quickler does that we know is different

Three things, deliberately:

  • The engineer interface is WhatsApp. No separate app to install or learn. The engineer answers the workflow in the chat already open on their phone.
  • Pricing is 20 pounds per active user a month. An active user is a person who produced at least one report that month; dormant users are free. Everything is unlimited on a paid account: reports, photos, messages, workflows. Add your whole team and only pay for who actually works, so there is no disincentive to roll the tool out across everyone. There is also a free tier of 20 reports a month, up to 10 photos per report, with no card and no trial clock.
  • Voice notes are accepted and transcribed. The engineer can speak a long answer instead of typing it.

Everything else, comparing claim-by-claim against products we have not used, would be guesswork dressed up as fact. So we will not write a feature-comparison table.

Where Quickler is the right pick

  • A trades or inspection firm running compliance workflows in the field, anywhere WhatsApp works. UK firms running EICR, CP12 and similar UK certificate workflows are a core fit; so are firms in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
  • The same compliance workflow runs many times per week (EICR, CP12, van walkround, structural site report).
  • The office still spends real hours per week rebuilding rough site notes into formatted reports.
  • Engineers have rejected, or never adopted, a dedicated field-service app you previously bought.
  • You want to pay 20 pounds per active user a month, with dormant users free, rather than a licence for every name on the payroll.

Where a different tool is probably the right pick

You need a full field service management platform

If you need scheduling, dispatching, quoting, invoicing, asset tracking and compliance in one place, look at SimPro, Joblogic or Fergus. Quickler does not handle any of that. It is intentionally narrower.

You need an extensive, pre-built inspection template library

iAuditor has a large marketplace of templates across many industries. If you want to pick a template off a shelf rather than have your existing form translated into a workflow, iAuditor is the established choice.

You need a wide range of UK certificate formats out of the box

If your firm needs a wide range of UK electrical or gas certificate formats from day one, look at dedicated certificate apps such as iCertifi. Quickler is built around the formats your firm already issues, not a marketplace.

You need full fleet management, not just the daily walkround

If you need full fleet management (beyond the daily walkround), look at a dedicated fleet platform such as FleetCheck. Quickler covers the walkround specifically.

You have a large engineer headcount and want one platform for everything

Once a firm gets large enough to want one platform covering scheduling, dispatching, invoicing and compliance, a full field service suite is usually the right pick. Quickler is intentionally narrower and targets smaller firms.

If you are still not sure: email hello@quickler.co with your trade, engineer count and the specific paperwork that is currently slowest. The honest answer might be that one of the products above is a better fit; you will get told if so.
