Manchester subscription sites for field service products that bill by usage and site.

Codeeo delivers field service management subscription website development Manchester software companies rely on to sell maintenance, inspection and installation tools to property operators, landlords and contractors across Greater Manchester and beyond. We build the site, a pricing model that can charge per property, per unit or per job as well as per user, the checkout, recurring and usage billing, VAT invoicing and a portal where multi site customers manage every location from one login.

Many Manchester field service products are bought by organisations that manage buildings rather than vans: build to rent operators, student accommodation providers and logistics landlords. Their bills grow with the portfolio, not the headcount, and the platform is designed for that.

Platform features

Billing that grows with buildings, units and jobs.

Seat based pricing works when the customer is a trades firm with five engineers. It works less well when the customer is a landlord with nine blocks across Salford, Trafford and the city centre, using your product to manage contractors who are not their staff. That customer thinks in units, buildings and work orders.

The features below let a Manchester vendor price the way its customers think, while keeping billing accurate as portfolios change. We decide the first release together, based on which pricing model you are confident in today and which ones you want room to test. Usage and portfolio billing can be added later if you start with simpler plans, provided the data model is planned for them from the beginning. That is the difference between field service management subscription platform development Manchester vendors can grow into and a checkout that has to be rebuilt the first time a large operator signs.

Explain your project
  • Portfolio based pricing

    Plans charged per managed unit, per building or per site, with tiers that adjust automatically as a customer adds a new block or disposes of one, and a pricing page that shows the full cost for a typical portfolio size.

    Revenue follows the size of each customer's estate.

  • Metered job and inspection billing

    Your product reports completed jobs, inspections or work orders to the billing engine, which totals them each period and adds them to the invoice with a line by line breakdown customers can check against their own records.

    Usage charges that customers can verify and rarely dispute.

  • Multi site customer portal

    One login for the operator's head office to see every site, its plan, its usage and its invoices, with permissions so a building manager sees only their block while finance sees everything.

    Large customers manage their account without calling you.

  • Contractor seats paid by the customer

    Operators can invite external contractors to the product, with those seats billed to the operator or to the contractor depending on the plan, so the commercial relationship matches how the work is actually commissioned. Seats are removed automatically when a contractor's access ends, which keeps both the bill and the security picture clean.

    Clear rules on who pays for which user.

  • Seasonal changes without manual work

    Student accommodation providers face a heavy summer turnaround, and installers have their own busy periods. Customers can raise or lower limits for a set window, with proration handled automatically and the plan reverting on the agreed date.

    Billing that follows the calendar of the business.

  • Consolidated and split invoicing

    Invoices consolidated at group level or split by site, fund or legal entity, each with the right VAT details and purchase order reference, because property owners often hold buildings in separate companies.

    Invoices that drop straight into each entity's accounts.

  • Partner and reseller billing

    Support for consultancies and managing agents who resell or recommend your product, with partner accounts, commission tracking and the choice of billing the end customer directly or billing the partner.

    A sales channel that does not need a separate system.

  • Billing and product integration

    Field service management billing integration services linking your application, the subscription engine, your CRM and your accounting software, so site counts, usage, access and payment status always agree across every system.

    One reliable record of each customer and each site.

  • Accessible, consent aware site

    Public pages, checkout and the portal tested against WCAG 2.2, with cookie consent that meets PECR and privacy notices written for UK GDPR, including how resident and tenant details held in your product are protected.

    A platform that holds up to buyer and regulator scrutiny.

  • Card, Direct Debit and invoice payment

    Card checkout with Strong Customer Authentication for smaller customers, Bacs Direct Debit for steady monthly bills, and invoice with payment terms for portfolio operators who pay through accounts payable.

    Every customer pays the way their finance team prefers.

Who this is for

Four Manchester vendors we typically work with.

Manchester's software companies work from the Northern Quarter, Spinningfields, Ancoats and MediaCityUK in Salford, with university linked spaces such as Innospace supporting earlier stage firms. Their field service customers range from installers covering the North West to property operators with blocks across the ten boroughs. These four profiles come up most. In each case the work goes beyond field service management SaaS website development Manchester buyers would recognise as a typical product site: the billing model itself is part of the brief, because it decides which customers your pricing can serve.

01

Products built for residential property operators

Build to rent and student accommodation operators use field service software to manage repairs, compliance checks and contractor visits across many blocks. They expect pricing per unit, a portal for each building and invoices split by owning entity. We build the subscription platform around those expectations so your sales team is not inventing a custom deal for every operator. The site also speaks to the people who sign off spend at these operators, usually asset managers and heads of operations, with pages on reporting, compliance evidence and contractor oversight.

Portfolio pricing becomes a standard plan, not a negotiation.

02

Inspection and compliance software vendors

Products that schedule and record inspections for warehouses, lifting equipment or fire safety often charge per inspection or per asset. Usage billing needs to be accurate and auditable, because customers check every line. We connect the product's own records to the billing engine so the invoice and the inspection log never disagree. Pricing pages show worked examples for a typical warehouse or multi storey site, so prospects can estimate their bill before they speak to anyone.

Every billed item traces back to a record in the product.

03

Installer platforms for renewables and EV charging

Installers of heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers across the North West often start on a small plan and grow quickly. They need self-serve sign-up, easy seat and module upgrades and a site that explains the product in installer language. We design for that growth path, from sole trader to regional business. Trade specific pages explain how the product handles commissioning records and handover documents, which is what installers weigh up when comparing tools.

Self-serve first, upgrades without a sales call.

04

Vendors launching a partner channel

Some Manchester vendors grow through consultancies, managing agents or trade associations who introduce customers. The platform tracks which partner brought each account, calculates commission from billing data and gives partners a view of their referred customers, without a spreadsheet passing between teams each month. Partner terms, payout schedules and statements live in the platform, so finance can settle commissions with confidence.

Partner payouts based on what customers actually paid.

From pricing model to a working Manchester billing platform.

  1. 01Model the way customers growOn video calls we look at how your customers' portfolios, teams and job volumes change over a year, and test which pricing units fit that pattern best.
  2. 02Define accounts, sites and entitiesWe agree how groups, sites, legal entities, contractors and partners relate to each other in billing, because this structure is hard to change later.
  3. 03Design pricing, checkout and portalThe pricing page, sign-up, checkout and multi site portal are designed for both small installers and head office finance teams.
  4. 04Build billing and usage trackingThe subscription engine is configured for unit, usage and seat charges, connected to card, Direct Debit and invoice payment, and tested with realistic portfolios.
  5. 05Integrate and migrate customersYour product, CRM and accounting software are connected, and existing customers move onto the new billing with their sites, terms and history intact.
  6. 06Launch and review the numbersAfter launch we review plan uptake, usage accuracy, disputes and failed payments, and refine pricing presentation and billing rules from what the data shows.

What Manchester vendors want to know.

Usage billing and portfolio structures are the main factors.

A site with straightforward per user plans and card checkout is quicker to deliver than a platform with per unit pricing, metered usage, multi entity invoicing and a partner channel. We agree what belongs in the first release during discovery and write the schedule down before design, so your team can plan sales activity around it. Vendors aiming to sign operators ahead of the academic year should raise that early, since it affects the order in which features are built.
