DocuField vs Encircle
Switching from Encircle to DocuField
Encircle is field documentation for restoration: photos, moisture readings, drying logs, floor plans and reports.
DocuField does the field documentation too, and runs the rest of the job in the same app: scheduling and dispatch, estimates and supplements, invoices, card payments and QuickBooks. If you run Encircle next to a separate system for the office side, DocuField puts both in one place.

Questions owners ask
Does it work with Xactimate?
Every scanned job gets an Xactimate package: plan pages, room calculations, openings and fixed features, so your estimator can build the sketch in Xactimate in minutes instead of measuring again. Sending sketches straight into Xactimate isn’t available yet.
What if there’s no signal on site?
The crew app keeps working. Photos, readings and notes are saved on the device and upload when the connection comes back.
Does it run on an iPad?
Yes — a full iPad app, not a stretched phone app. LiDAR floor plans need an iPhone Pro or iPad Pro with LiDAR; everything else works on any iPhone, iPad or Android phone.
Will you move our data over?
Yes, free. Our team sets up your account, your status flow and your forms, and moves your customers and jobs over.
How is it priced?
One price per company. Every technician, project manager and office user is included, so adding a tech never raises your bill.
Is there a contract?
No. You’re billed month to month. Cancel from your billing page and you keep access until the end of the month you’ve paid for.
