Frequently Asked Questions
Can FieldPulse map pre-existing vehicle scratches and dents?
No. FieldPulse is general contractor job-tracking software. It has no vehicle inspection diagrams, no zone mapping, and no automotive liability workflows.
Why do auto detailers choose DetailSafe over FieldPulse?
DetailSafe takes 90 seconds to walk a car, map defects, and collect dual signatures. FieldPulse requires navigating heavy contractor job forms designed for HVAC and plumbing.
