Ask About Central Stations

Managely is sold by Bold Group, which also makes the Manitou alarm monitoring platform. Ask which central stations Managely connects to. FieldHub integrates with Affiliated Monitoring, Becklar/AvantGuard, and Rapid Response, so your software choice and your monitoring choice stay independent.

Ask About the Roadmap

Bold Group sells Managely alongside SedonaOffice and AlarmBiller. Whichever platform you choose, ask how its roadmap is set, how long it will be supported, and what a future move between products would involve.

Ask What Each Tier Includes

Managely comes in Essentials and Pro tiers, so ask which capabilities are in the tier you are quoted. In FieldHub, workflow automation, time and attendance, and document management are included.

What FieldHub Brings

What to Weigh When You Compare the Two

Both platforms are cloud-based and built for alarm dealers. These are FieldHub’s strengths, and the questions worth asking in any demo.

Multiple Central Stations

Connect to Affiliated Monitoring, Becklar/AvantGuard, or Rapid Response. Change monitoring partners without changing software.

Native GL with Nightly Validation

Double-entry general ledger accounting — AR, AP, and financial statements — with automated nightly integrity checks that catch imbalances before they compound.

Automated RMR Lifecycle

Recurring billing automation from work order to invoice to deferred revenue recognition, with proration and rate escalations handled by the system.

Offline Field App

Native iOS and Android mobile app with full offline capability. Ask any vendor whether their field app keeps working in a basement with no signal.

Open Integration Surface

A documented REST API, webhooks, and Zapier and n8n support. Your data stays reachable by the tools you already run.

Dealers Who Chose FieldHub

Security companies that evaluated the field and moved onto a single platform.

FieldHub did everything that we were looking for. It is the most well-rounded platform for an independent alarm company to operate their day-to-day business.

John Cioffi
Vice President at Bergen Protective Systems, Inc.

“

We chose FieldHub because it offered smarter, more streamlined ways to work—clearly built with our industry in mind. While I initially had concerns about the complexity of migrating from our previous platform, FieldHub absolutely wowed us. The migration was seamless, the support was exceptional, and the end result is a modern platform that positions us for scalable, efficient growth.

John Smythe
President at Habitec Security

“

FieldHub has been instrumental in helping us have more streamlined processes…so we can effectively have a smaller back office staff who can do more by leveraging FieldHub. The RMR model is the foundation of everything. As a 20-year veteran in the RMR industry, I appreciate how it’s more automated than other platforms we’ve used. FieldHub’s report generation is strong and improves monthly.

Jonathan Frase
ArcEye

“

We had a very smooth migration, and your team has been great to work with. We just had our first financial meeting with real FieldHub reports, and it was awesome to actually TRUST the numbers that we saw without having to do additional side calculations. It’s great to have a business partner that listens to our concerns, and includes our suggestions in their future updates.

Adam Jacobs
President @ American Alarms

“

It automatically goes to the Warehouse Manager or Inventory Manager. He creates the PO with a click of a button, the inventory shows up, he checks it in with a click of a button, and then creates the bill. Night and day difference. Now that’s not all on my shoulders. You could probably train somebody in a month now on FieldHub. And if they don’t have knowledge of our industry, maybe a month and a half to two months, and they’re already in there taking phone calls, looking at billing. That was a huge change for us.

John Luks
Controller Security Systems

“

I would definitely recommend FieldHub to other security alarm companies. In fact, I already have.

VP of Administration Services @ Security One

Common Questions

Managely vs FieldHub FAQs

Is FieldHub a Managely alternative? +

Yes. Both are cloud platforms built for alarm dealers with accounting included. Three questions are worth asking in both demos: which central stations does the platform connect to, does the field app keep working fully offline, and which capabilities are in the tier you are quoted? FieldHub’s answers: Affiliated Monitoring, Becklar/AvantGuard, and Rapid Response; yes, full offline capability; and workflow automation, time and attendance, and document management are included.

We are on SedonaOffice and evaluating Managely. What else should we look at? +

If you are migrating anyway, the migration effort is roughly the same whichever platform you land on, so it is worth evaluating more than one. See switch from Sedona Office for the detail, including the scripted Sedona Office migration path into FieldHub.

Which central stations does FieldHub integrate with? +

Affiliated Monitoring, Becklar/AvantGuard, and Rapid Response. You can choose or change monitoring partners without changing software.

Does FieldHub have real general ledger accounting? +

Yes — native double-entry GL with AR, AP, and financial statements, not a sync to an outside package. Invoices, payments, deferred revenue, and job costs post directly, and nightly automated integrity validation catches imbalances before they compound. See full general ledger accounting.

What does migrating to FieldHub involve? +

FieldHub runs migrations from template files or a self-service data loader for most systems, and scripted migrations for select legacy systems. See enhanced vs. standard data migrations and the sandbox pilot, which lets you test FieldHub with your own data before committing.
