A field-service software alternative for small teams
Opeux gives small field teams the few tools they actually need on a typical week — clock-in by site, an asset register that knows which van each tool is on, a clean order workflow and a tidy way to log when something goes wrong — without buying a full enterprise field-service platform.
What teams use today
Small field teams either run on group chat plus a paper job sheet plus a spreadsheet of vans, or they pay for a heavy field-service platform with scheduling, dispatch and routing they do not need. The team uses ten percent of it and resents the bill.
Why that breaks
Heavy field-service tools assume a dispatch desk and a planner. Small teams just need to know who is on which site, what kit they have, what stock is on the van and what went wrong yesterday. Spreadsheets cannot answer those questions live.
How Opeux is different
Opeux Clocks gives per-site clock-in on a phone browser and turns it into approved weekly timesheets. Opeux Assets tracks tools across vans and staff. Opeux Inventory keeps van stock honest. Opeux Sales handles the order workflow. Opeux NCR captures issues from site cleanly.

Frequently asked questions
Does Opeux do dispatch and routing?
No. Opeux is for small teams who do not need a dispatch desk.
Will it work on a phone in the field?
Yes. Every tool runs in a phone browser — no app install.
Can I see who is on which site right now?
Yes. Opeux Clocks shows a live who-is-on-site board.
Does it track customer assets too?
Yes. Opeux Assets handles equipment owned or maintained for customers.
Can issues link back to assets?
Yes. NCR cross-references assets and suppliers.
Is there a free plan to try Opeux?
Yes. Every Opeux tool has a free tier you can run alongside your existing spreadsheets while the team gets used to it. You only pay when you outgrow the limits or want a paid feature.
How long does a typical small team take to switch?
Most small teams are productive on a single Opeux tool within an hour of importing their core list, and have the tool fully bedded in within two weeks. Adding more tools after that is faster because the workspace, customers and contacts are already set up.
Who owns the data inside Opeux?
You do. Every tool exports cleanly to CSV or PDF at any time, so you can leave with your data if you ever need to. There is no lock-in by design.
Does Opeux work on a phone for staff in the field?
Yes. Every Opeux tool runs in a phone browser with no app to install, so field staff can clock in, log usage, view jobs and update records without a laptop.
How does Opeux handle access for different staff?
Each workspace supports role-based access so owners, managers and field staff only see what they should. You can invite a bookkeeper or accountant with limited access, and revoke it cleanly when they finish.
What support is available if we get stuck?
Every plan includes email support and a searchable help centre with short walkthroughs. Paid plans add faster response times and onboarding sessions for the team.
Can we keep using our existing accounting tool?
Yes. Opeux is designed to sit next to your accounting tool, not replace it. Quotes, invoices and sales export cleanly so the bookkeeper stays in the same workflow.
