You don’t need a bigger platform. You need one built for heating & plumbing

The big field-service platforms cater to every trade at once, assume you have a big office team, and price like it. GES does everything an owner-led heating & plumbing business needs, is cost-effecitve, and easy to set up.

GENERIC VS SPECIALISED

Why pay for features you’ll never use?

Generic field service management platforms are powerful tools for multi-trade, enterprise service businesses. But for owner-led heating & plumbing companies, software built around your trade is often a better fit.

Generic field-service platforms

Built for any trade and office-led businesses.
  • Feature rich and broad — great for multi-trade businesses
  • Gas compliance is adapted, often with extra add-on costs
  • Built for businesses with a large back office team
  • Quote-gated pricing, £45–£80+ a seat
  • Complex setup and paid onboarding
  • Features you’ll pay for and never use

Best for large operations with an office team and an ops department.

General comparison against the large, generic field-service platform category, not any single product. Enterprise pricing is typically quote-gated; competitor figures are estimates — verify before publishing.

"Gas Engineer Software is a great fit. For the price range, you'd have to be psychotic to say no — it's such great value for money."

PRICING

Why pay for features heating & plumbing teams never need? 

Field-service platforms can run £45–£80 a seat, are usually quote-gated, and have complex setup processes. Trying to cater to every trade leaves heating & plumbing businesses paying for a range of features they’ll never need. 

GES has a transparent pricing model per user, and you’re up and running the day you sign up.
