Learn how to add, edit, organize, and delete products and services in FieldCamp, with also features like price book and categories.

Updated over 3 months ago

FieldCamp's Products & Services Management transforms how field service businesses organize their offerings through a comprehensive system that combines individual items, bundled packages, and hierarchical categorization.

This integrated approach enables businesses to manage everything from simple hourly services to complex multi-component packages, all organized within a structured category system that scales from small operations to enterprise-level price books.

The platform's recent enhancements introduce Price Book Bundles for grouping services and products with flexible pricing strategies, plus multi-level category organization supporting subcategories for industries like HVAC and plumbing that require extensive product cataloging.

Products & Services → centralizes → business offerings
