Get your FieldPromax account ready for daily use by entering your company information, connecting your accounting software, adding your first service provider, and reviewing essential settings.
Before you start:
- You need your FieldPromax login credentials (provided during signup).
- Have your company details handy: business name, address, phone, and timezone.
- If you use QuickBooks or Xero, have your login credentials ready for those as well.
Step 1: Log In for the First Time
- Open your browser and go to app.fieldpromax.com.
- Enter the Email and Password you created during signup.
- Click Sign In.
Result: You land on the default startup page (typically the open work orders list). The first time you sign in, you should head to company settings to complete your profile.
Step 2: Enter Your Company Information
- Navigate to Settings → Company → Info.
- Enter your Company Name.
- Enter your Phone number.
- Fill in your Address, City, State, and Postal Code.
- Select your Country from the dropdown.
- Under Regional Settings, choose your Time Zone.
- Select your preferred Currency Symbol and Date Format.
- Click Save Changes.
Result: Your company profile is saved. This information appears on invoices, estimates, and PDFs sent to customers.
Step 3: Connect Your Accounting Software
If you use QuickBooks Online or Xero, connecting your account allows FieldPromax to sync customers, products, and invoices automatically.
- On the Company Information page, look for the QuickBooks Connect or Xero Connect button in the toolbar.
- Click the connect button and sign in with your accounting software credentials.
- Authorize FieldPromax to access your account.
Result: Your customers and products begin syncing from your accounting software into FieldPromax. This may take a few minutes depending on the size of your data.
Tip: You can also connect your accounting software later from Settings → Integrations. If you do not use QuickBooks or Xero, you can add customers and products manually.
Step 4: Add Your First Service Provider
- Navigate to Manage Users from the main menu.
- Click Create User.
- Fill in the service provider's Name, Email, and Phone.
- Set the Security Level to Service Provider.
