Cable Ledger vs. Fieldwire
Fieldwire, by Hilti, puts drawings, tasks and punch lists on every phone on the jobsite. It is strong at coordinating who does what on a set of plans.
Where Fieldwire is strong
- Fast plan viewing and markup on phones and tablets.
- Task and punch-list workflows that suit trade coordination on a build.
- A free plan for very small teams (a handful of users and projects).
Where Cable Ledger differs
- Fieldwire bills every user, at a rate that depends on the tier they need. Cable Ledger bills logins at one rate, any role, and your field crew can sit on the roster without one.
- Fieldwire's focus is plans and tasks. Cable Ledger's is the money: contract rate sheets, daily production by code, foreman approval, and billing estimates and invoices from approved quantities.
- Cable Ledger also carries prints with pins that work offline, so the plan set does not need a second tool for most line crews.
Can you use both? Crews that live in Fieldwire for task coordination on large builds can keep it. Cable Ledger replaces the spreadsheet between the daily report and the invoice.
