While other software providers treat facilities management as an afterthought, forcing you into generic project management tools, CQ was purpose-built for the unique challenges of FM from day one. We didn’t just add a scheduling feature; we engineered a complete business management platform around the complexity, volume, and mission-critical nature of your work. The result is a system with more FM-specific features and greater depth than any other platform on the market.
This is not just another tool. This is an end-to-end system designed to help you standardise, streamline, and scale your operations. From initial lead and quote to complex PPM scheduling, mobile workforce management, and integrated financials, CQ provides a single source of truth to grow your business with confidence. Every department, every team, and every technician works from the same real-time data—no more silos or conflicting information.
The Biggest Problems FM Teams Face Today
If you’re running an FM business, these challenges probably sound familiar:
•Disconnected tools and manual spreadsheets causing chaos.
•The sheer complexity of scheduling work across hundreds of sites.
•A complete lack of live visibility into job status and technician location.
•No real-time, accurate view of job or contract profitability.
•Difficulty planning complex PPM schedules across multiple years.
•Operatives on-site unable to access critical asset history or job information.
•Inconsistent invoicing leading to errors and missed billables.
CQ was built from the ground up to solve every single one of these problems.
Why CQ Outperforms Generic Platforms
Our origin story is our biggest advantage. Because we started by solving the hardest problems for FM businesses, we developed capabilities that generic platforms simply don’t have. This deep-rooted understanding is reflected in every module, from our revolutionary Contract & Scheduling Wizard to our real-time profitability tracking, making CQ a powerful modern alternative to traditional CAFM systems.

CQ was founded on the principle that service businesses, especially those in FM, deserve a platform that works the way they do. Our features weren’t bolted on; they were born from the real-world needs of businesses managing hundreds of sites, thousands of assets, and complex, recurring service contracts.
Core Capabilities: A Complete FM Ecosystem
CQ is the only platform that can create, schedule, and invoice hundreds of FM jobs across multiple sites in a single guided process. While our scheduling capabilities are second to none, they are just one part of a complete business management engine that unifies your entire operation.
Key Platform Pillars:
1.FM-Specific Operations: Leverage tools designed for your reality, including the Contract & Scheduling Wizard and Visual Map-Based Planning for optimizing regional work.
2.Mobile Workforce Management: CQ’s mobile app gives operatives everything they need on-site, including job sheets, asset records, photos, notes, and the ability to log time—even when offline. Every action syncs automatically to the office, providing real-time visibility across your organisation.
3.Complete Financial Management: Go beyond basic invoicing. With CQ, you get real-time profit and loss tracking on every job, contract, and client. Understand your true profitability with integrated cost tracking and financial reporting.
4.End-to-End Client Lifecycle: Manage everything from lead acquisition and bespoke quoting to job execution and final payment in one seamless workflow. No more data re-entry or juggling multiple systems.
5.Unified Data & Analytics: Because every business function flows through CQ, you have a single source of truth. This provides the foundation for powerful business analytics, allowing you to make smarter, data-driven decisions that are impossible with fragmented software.
The Result: A Platform That Grows With You
By choosing a platform that was built for your industry, you gain more than just features; you gain a strategic partner. CQ’s depth means you won’t outgrow our system. As you take on larger contracts, expand to new regions, and add more technicians, CQ scales with you, ensuring you maintain control and visibility every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What makes CQ different from other FM software like Joblogic?
A1: The key difference is our origin and depth. CQ was built from the ground up for the complexities of FM, not adapted from a generic field service tool. This means we have deeper, more powerful features like the Contract & Scheduling Wizard and independent job editing (where changing one visit doesn’t break the whole series). While others focus on basic scheduling, we provide a complete business management platform that integrates operations with real-time financials.
Q2: Is CQ only for large facilities management companies?
A2: No, CQ is designed to scale. While our depth of features is essential for large companies managing complex contracts, our user-friendly interface and integrated workflows provide immense value to smaller and growing FM businesses. By starting with CQ, you build your business on a platform you won’t outgrow, eliminating the painful process of switching software as you expand.
Q3: How does CQ help with profitability, not just operations?
A3: CQ connects your operations directly to your financials in real-time. When a technician logs time on a job via the mobile app, the cost is instantly reflected in the project’s P&L. This means you can track the actual profitability of a contract as it happens, not weeks later. This unified data allows you to identify which clients, contracts, and services are most profitable and make informed decisions to grow your business.
Q4: Can CQ replace our existing CRM and accounting software?
A4: CQ has a built-in CRM for lead and client management and a comprehensive invoicing and financial reporting suite. While it can replace many functions of separate CRM and invoicing tools, it also integrates seamlessly with major accounting platforms like Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. This allows you to use CQ as your central operational and financial hub while your final accounts are synced with your preferred accounting package.
Q5: What does “built for FM from day one” actually mean for my business?
A5: It means our software anticipates your needs. It means having a PPM scheduling system that understands variable frequencies and multi-year planning. It means a mobile app that works offline because we know technicians work in basements. It means batch invoicing because we know you service multiple jobs for a single client. It means you spend less time fighting your software and more time growing your business.
