DEEPER COMPARISON

Where Gas Engineer Software fits the heating & plumbing trade better

Built only for the gas & heating trade

Commusoft is a broad field-service platform spanning many trades. Gas Engineer Software does one thing — it's shaped end to end around how gas and heating businesses actually work.

  • One trade, done properly
  • Workflows pre-tuned to heating & plumbing, not configured to fit
  • Every update is built for businesses like yours
Commusoft covers many trades — strong on breadth, but not gas-specialised in the same way.

Sized for your business, not multi-trade operations

No minimum team size and no implementation project. Start on a 14-day free trial with no card — solo or as a growing team.

  • Works for sole traders and teams
  • 14-day free trial, no card, demos available
  • Roughly half the price for a typical business
Commusoft is built for business of 6+ staff and onboards you through a demo and implementation process.

Connect your flue gas analyser

Pair your Kane, Anton or TPI analyser over Bluetooth and your readings drop straight onto the record — no writing them out twice.

  • Readings auto-filled onto certificates
  • Kane, Anton & TPI supported
  • A dated report generated for each results.
Commusoft has no flue gas analyser integration.

Boiler manuals with AI assist

2,300+ boiler manuals built into the app with our AI assist feature make it easy to find the information you need on-site.

  • 2,300+ manuals accessible in-app
  • Ask a question, get an answer + link to the specific page
  • Find fault codes faster on site
Commusoft has no built-in boiler manual library or AI manual search.

In-app gas rate calculator

Engineers frequently have to gas rate appliances in the field. With GES, you don't have to swap to another app.

  • Built-in, no need to switch apps or calculate manually
  • Import results into your certificate
  • Metric, imperial, lpg, NG, and 1 or 2-minute tests.
Commusoft's app has no gas rate calculator for engineers in the field.

Who it's for

Commusoft is a strong fit for large trades businesses with a back office that need stock control, purchase orders and SLA-driven contracts. Gas Engineer Software is for the owner-led gas or heating business that wants gas-native depth and to start today.

  • Built for owner-led gas & heating firms
  • Gas-native depth, not generic job cards
  • 14-day free trial, no card needed
