Joblogic alternative
DoorOps vs Joblogic
for door contractors.
Joblogic is a 25-year-old, multi-trade field service platform with a plan ladder. DoorOps is a door-only product where every feature is on every tier, billed monthly from one engineer. Here is the difference, with prices and sources.
Short version
- Joblogic gates PPM, engineer tracking, custom forms and the customer portal behind Premium and Enterprise. DoorOps includes all of them on Core.
- Joblogic says most customers sign for 24 or 36 months. DoorOps bills monthly.
- Joblogic has 7,000+ customers and 4.4 on Trustpilot. DoorOps has none of that yet, and a Joblogic importer for when you are ready.

For door work
The features a door company actually uses.
Not a 200-row feature grid. The twelve things that decide whether the office chases the job sheet or reads it.
| DoorOps | Joblogic | |
|---|---|---|
| One record per door job | One record per job and per customer: quote, drawings, RAMS, photos, worksheet, notes and the PDF you sent. That is the product. | Jobs, assets by site and serial, related records across sites, assets, quotes and jobs (Premium and above). |
| Worksheets and forms | Custom form builder, DoorOps door presets, shareable worksheet links, photos and signatures, on every tier. | Standard electronic forms and a suite of automatic-door checklists. The custom form builder is Enterprise only. |
| AI review | AI action summaries, wording checks and a compliance guardian, included as monthly credits on every tier. | AI Summariser and AI Rephraser exist as Marketplace add-ons, priced separately. |
| Assets and PPM | Asset register with QR labels, PPM planner and contracts on every tier. | Asset registers with QR tagging on all plans. PPM contracts start at Premium. |
| RAMS | RAMS and safety workflows on every tier. | RAMS Module is a Marketplace add-on. |
| Subcontractors | Send a job to a subcontractor by secure link. They complete the worksheet without a seat. | Portal users (customers, subcontractors, suppliers) are not charged as seats. |
| Engineer and vehicle tracking | Live engineer location and customer tracking links. Vehicle tracking accepts a telematics feed; DoorOps does not supply hardware. | Live GPS and historical tracking from Premium. |
| Customer portal | Customer portal on every tier. | Enterprise only. |

| Mobile app | Web app, installable on the phone home screen. Worksheet progress survives lost signal, but it is not an offline-first native app. | Native iOS and Android engineer app that works offline. |
| API and automation | REST API, webhooks, Zapier and an MCP server for AI agents (API and MCP are separately scoped access). | API access is a Marketplace add-on. |
| Track record | No published reviews, case studies or named customers yet. DoorOps launched in 2026 and says so. | 25 years, 7,000+ UK businesses, 4.4 on Trustpilot, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, 24/7 support on every plan. |
Honest answer
When Joblogic is the better fit
- You run several trades (HVAC, electrical, FM) and door work is one line of business. Joblogic is built for that breadth; DoorOps is not.
- A tender asks for a vendor with decades of references, ISO 27001 and named enterprise integrations such as SAP or Sage Intacct.
- Your engineers need a native app that works fully offline, or your office wants 24/7 phone support.
- You want SFG20 maintenance schedules from a marketplace integration.
Where DoorOps wins
When DoorOps is the better fit
- You are a door company that wants PPM, custom forms, RAMS and the customer portal without climbing to Premium or Enterprise to get them.
- You will not sign a 24 or 36 month contract for software you have not run a full season on.
- You want the office to see what the engineer found before the next phone call. The AI summary is included, not an add-on.
- Your customers are the door type, the site warning and the last visit, and you want the software to know that without configuration.
Still on a calendar and the notes app?
Most door firms are not switching from software at all.
Ask a door engineers group what they run jobs on and the honest answers are a phone calendar, the Notes app and a WhatsApp group for quotes and measures. That works until the third engineer, or the customer who asks what you found last time. DoorOps keeps your calendar and Xero, and gives every job one record: customer, quote, drawings, RAMS, photos, worksheet and the PDF you sent.
Migration
Moving from Joblogic
Keep Joblogic running while you try DoorOps. Nothing here asks you to cut over on day one.
- 1Connect your Joblogic account from Settings, then import in stages: customers, contacts and sites; assets and contracts; engineers, parts and suppliers; jobs and field history; quotes and invoices.
- 2DoorOps reads live counts and estimates the duration before you queue anything. A full account can take hours because Joblogic allows 100 API requests a minute.
- 3Every run stores an encrypted archive first. Turn on operational mapping when you are happy with the preview, and resume from a checkpoint if you cancel.
- 4While you run both, DoorOps can hand a reviewed worksheet PDF back to the matched Joblogic job.
Common questions
Is DoorOps cheaper than Joblogic?
For a door company on the Standard plan the headline is similar: £45 per user at Joblogic billed annually, £45 per engineer and £22 per office user at DoorOps billed monthly. The gap opens when you need PPM, tracking, custom forms or the portal, which Joblogic sells on Premium and Enterprise at prices on request and DoorOps includes on Core.
Can I keep my Joblogic history?
Yes. The DoorOps Joblogic connector imports customers, sites, assets, contracts, engineers, parts, suppliers, jobs, field history, quotes and invoices in stages, with an encrypted archive and checkpoint resume.
Does DoorOps have a native offline app like Joblogic?
No. DoorOps is a web app you install on the phone home screen. A worksheet in progress survives lost signal, but the whole product is not offline-first. If your engineers spend their day in basements with no signal, that is a real point in Joblogic’s favour.
