Our Mission
Booking local services shouldn’t be frustrating for anyone. Businesses shouldn’t have to pay for leads that never turn into jobs, and customers shouldn’t have to chase calls, texts, and multiple platforms just to find someone they can trust. FieldWorks exists to fix both sides. We give local service pros simple, modern tools to get discovered, send quotes, and get paid fairly. And we give customers an easy way to find trusted professionals and book services in seconds. No lead fees. No monthly costs. No contracts. Just real customers for businesses and real pros for customers. Fair, simple, and built for local communities.

Q&A
- Who built FieldWorks?
- Christopher Atoki. I’m a software developer based in South Jersey and I built FieldWorks myself.
- How long have you been building software?
- Over 10 years. I’ve worked with startups, mid-sized companies, and large organizations building dashboards, CRMs, portals, and internal tools.
- Why did you start FieldWorks?
- Honestly, I just wanted an easier way to book local services. I was helping a landscaping company get online, then a housekeeper, then a massage therapist. As I talked to them, I kept hearing the same thing. They were paying for leads that didn’t turn into jobs. Some were spending hundreds every week just to compete. That felt broken.
- What’s wrong with platforms like Thumbtack or HomeAdvisor?
- They charge businesses for leads whether or not the job happens. That means pros take all the risk. I don’t think that’s fair.
- How is FieldWorks different?
- Simple. No lead fees. No monthly fees. No contracts. You only pay when you actually get paid. If you don’t make money, you don’t owe anything.
- Are you local?
- Yep. South Jersey. And I work directly with local landscapers, cleaners, photographers, and other service pros while building the platform.
- Is there a team?
- Just me right now. I design it, build it, and handle support personally.
- Can businesses talk to you directly?
- Always. If you message support, you’re talking to me.
- What’s your goal with FieldWorks?
- Give small businesses the same tools big companies have and modernize how local services are booked.
- Anything people might not expect?
- I’m a dad of six and I love tinkering with niche side projects like putting AI into glasses. I just like building useful things.
