How FSM Navigator works¶
FSM Navigator is one app for the whole customer lifecycle. A customer calls or books online, you send a price, the work gets scheduled and done, the invoice goes out, and a service agreement brings them back next season. This section walks through each stage in that order.
Each stage page is short. It shows where the stage fits, the statuses you'll see, the steps, and who on your team can do them. When you need the full detail, every page links to the in-depth guide.
The lifecycle at a glance¶

H -.-> L[Reports] In plain terms: every piece of work starts with a customer and a service location, turns into a job (or a work order made of several jobs), gets scheduled and done in the field, and ends with an invoice and a payment. Service agreements loop the customer back for their next visit, and everything you do feeds your reports.
The stages¶
-
1. Customers and locations
Who the customer is and where the work happens.
-
2. Assets
The equipment at each location and its service history.
-
3. Quotes and estimates
Price the work and get a yes in writing.
-
4. Jobs and work orders
The unit of work, and how bigger projects group several jobs.
-
5. Scheduling and dispatch
How work gets to the right technician at the right time.
-
6. Technician mobile workflow
What your techs do in the app on a job day, online or offline.
-
7. Service agreements and memberships
Recurring visits, member pricing and renewals.
-
8. Inventory and parts
From purchase order to van stock to the job.
-
9. Invoicing and payments
Bill finished work and record how it was paid.
-
10. Reporting
Where your numbers come from.

Plans¶
Some stages need a paid plan. Jobs, scheduling, dispatch and invoicing are on every plan. Quotes, online booking, service agreements and the customer portal need Pro. Work orders, inventory and assets need Enterprise. Each stage page says which plan it needs. See Plans and pricing for the full comparison.
