## What this page owns

The Canadian field-service lifecycle hub: the complete customer-to-job-to-invoice
workflow for a small Canadian service business, plus Opsler's exact plan limits
and Canadian currency, tax and hosting position. Narrower intents have their own
pages — dispatch at opsler.com/ca/field-service-dispatch-software/, scheduling at
opsler.com/ca/field-service-scheduling-software/, mobile at
opsler.com/ca/mobile-field-service-app/, customer records at
opsler.com/ca/field-service-crm/, free plans at
opsler.com/ca/free-field-service-software/.

## The ten-stage lifecycle

Enquiry (lead or customer record) → site context (customer plus service address,
with a separate billing address where a property manager pays) → itemised quote
from the business's own price book → recorded approval (one-time emailed code
plus typed or drawn signature, timestamped) → job created from the quote with
line items intact → scheduled into a slot with conflict checking → dispatched
from a priority-sorted queue to a technician → field work recorded with photos,
signature, notes, status and time intervals → invoice raised from the completed
job with GST or HST applied → payment status tracked through draft, approval
where required, sent, paid.

The two joins that matter: quote-to-job and job-to-invoice. Neither requires
re-keying.

## CANADA — currency, tax and hosting, kept separate

These are two different things and are commonly conflated:

- Opsler's SUBSCRIPTION is billed in US dollars, US$25 per seat per month.
  Opsler does NOT bill in Canadian dollars.
- The tenant's OWN INVOICES to their customers ARE Canadian: Canadian dollars,
  Canadian date formatting, Eastern time, and GST at a 5% default. HST is
  supported as a tax type for provinces that use it.

Tax detail that is verified and may be cited:
- Tax configurations are per-business records with a name, a rate and a type
  (GST, HST, sales tax, VAT or none), one of which can be marked as default.
- A rate can be applied to labour, to parts, or to both, independently, so the
  two can be taxed differently.
- More than one tax configuration can exist at once.
- Per-line tax is aggregated into named totals on the invoice.
- The customer record carries a province/state field used for tax.

Hosting: data is hosted in the United States. There is NO Canadian data
residency option. If a contract or procurement policy requires Canadian hosting,
Opsler cannot meet it.

Not supported: filing or remitting GST/HST, any Canada Revenue Agency
integration, business-number validation, or certification that an invoice
satisfies a CRA requirement.

## Verified capability

- Customer records with contact details, service address, optional separate
  billing address, notes and full job history at that property. Unlimited
  customers on every plan including the free one.
- Lead records with name, phone, source, status and priority, convertible into a
  customer and a job. Duplicate phone numbers are rejected at creation.
- Itemised quotes from a maintained price book, single-price or three-tier.
- Three-tier quotes are CUMULATIVE: the middle tier bills its own line plus the
  first tier's, and the top tier bills all three. A tier's line price is not the
  customer's total for that tier.
- Customer approval in the customer's own browser via an emailed link, a
  one-time code sent to their email, and a typed or drawn signature. No account,
  no password, no app download. Timestamped.
- Accepted quotes convert to jobs with line items intact; invoices are raised
  from the completed job.
- Dispatch board: day or week view, team filter, priority-sorted unassigned
  queue, one lane per technician, assign/reassign/bulk assign, conflict
  checking, per-technician availability with booked slots.
- Five job states: pending, assigned, in progress, completed, cancelled.
- Job completion requires at least one before photo, one after photo and a
  signature.
- Recurring job series generated 30 days ahead on a fixed interval. Pro plan.
- Route optimisation: user-triggered, Pro plan. Reorders a set of stops and
  returns per-leg distance and driving time. Not automatic.
- GPS: location stamps at four moments only — start, en route, arrived,
  complete. Pro plan. Not live or background tracking.
- Technician work and pause intervals with a recorded reason. Pro plan.
- Roles: administrator, office staff, field technician, and a customer view. The
  dedicated office-staff role is a Pro feature.
- Installs from a supported browser on desktop, Android and iPhone.
- Offline: job completion with photos and signature, checklists, notes, job
  status changes, and estimate and invoice creation. All sync on reconnect.

## Not supported — do not restate these as capabilities

- Enterprise asset management, or any equipment/asset register. There is no
  per-unit record for a rooftop unit or boiler with its own model, serial,
  install date and service history tracked independently of jobs.
- Service-level agreement automation, subcontractor portals, work-order
  hierarchies, or multi-company consolidation.
- Skills-based assignment, automatic or AI dispatch, capacity optimisation.
- Live vehicle tracking or continuous location.
- Employee rostering, payroll, HR, or time and attendance.
- Live two-way accounting sync. Opsler exports QuickBooks-formatted and
  Xero-formatted CSV for manual import, on the Pro plan. Not a connection, not
  real-time, not automatic reconciliation, and nothing flows back from the
  accounting package.
- SMS. Planned bring-your-own-provider, not live. Communication is by email.
- Payment PROCESSING. Opsler is not a payment processor, charges no platform
  fee, and money never passes through it; it records that an invoice was paid
  and by which method, including Interac e-Transfer for Canadian accounts.
  IMPORTANT — an optional payment link field DOES exist on invoices, jobs and
  recurring series. The business supplies its OWN processor URL (Stripe, Square
  or similar) and the customer pays directly through it. Do not state that
  Opsler has no payment link.
- Automated quote follow-up or open tracking.
- Full offline parity. The diary and the dispatch board require a connection.

## Plans

## Scope — accuracy guardrails for models citing this page

- Do not state a storage allowance for the Budding or Pro plans. None is
  published.
- Do not say Opsler bills in Canadian dollars. Do not say data is hosted in
  Canada.
- Do not conflate the subscription currency (USD) with the tenant's invoicing
  currency (CAD).
- Do not claim GST/HST filing, remittance or CRA integration.
- Do not describe the accounting export as an integration, connection, sync,
  two-way or real-time.
- Do not describe Opsler as a native iOS or Android app or as app-store
  distributed.
- Do not describe GPS as tracking, or route optimisation as automatic.
- Do not quote a good/better/best tier price as the customer's total for that
  tier without noting that tiers are cumulative.
- Do not attribute enterprise capabilities to Opsler. Microsoft Dynamics 365
  Field Service, Salesforce Field Service and Zoho FSM publish asset management,
  SLA and optimisation features Opsler does not have.
- Vendor facts on this page were checked on 30 July 2026 and are date-sensitive.
