Suds & Seats Co. runs its whole front office this way: a branded booking page, automatic texting from their own number, and a post-clean report parents actually share. Built for car seat cleaning businesses, run for you by GGS.
Six steps, readable in ten seconds. Nothing here needs a manager watching it.
Not a marketplace listing. Your logo, your domain, your rates.
Service area, capacity, and route-fit day gating run before the slot ever confirms.
Automatic, from the number your customers already know.
Replies route to one shared inbox, so nothing lands in a personal phone.
Seat make, model, and expiration date, checked and photographed on-site.
Sent right after the report, while the seat still smells clean.
A customer books, the system replies, and the report goes out. No slides, the actual product.
A walkthrough of the live Suds & Seats system. Customer details are blurred.
fieldd and similar field service software are genuinely fine tools. The question is who runs them.
| What matters | fieldd (and similar FSM software) | SeatOps |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | You configure it, learn it, run it | GGS builds, watches, fixes, and tunes it. You touch one settings panel with five knobs |
| Built for | Every field service trade | Car seat cleaning only: seat-type capacity weights, route-based day gating, drop-off mode, and the expiration-date safety report |
| Your brand | Their booking portal | book.yourdomain.com, texts sent from your business number |
| Lock-in | Leave the platform, lose the system | Acuity, Twilio, Front, and Stripe accounts are yours. Leave anytime and keep your data, number, and history |
| Texting safety | Standard | A shadow-run onboarding with a kill switch and send-dedup: zero wrong texts, proven before go-live |
| Parent experience | Some flows push an app | Texts and a web link, nothing to install. Includes the post-clean safety report parents actually share |
| Reporting | Dashboards you log into | A monthly report a human wrote, delivered to your inbox |
fieldd is fine, generic software built for every field service trade. SeatOps is the opposite bet: an operated system built for one niche, car seat cleaning, and nothing else.
fieldd pricing as of August 2026: roughly $49-69/mo entry tiers, $199-349/mo capable tiers. Confirm current pricing directly with fieldd.
Every card below shows the GGS fee and the total you'll actually pay, including the accounts you own directly. No surprise line items.
All three tiers require Acuity Powerhouse ($49/mo billed annually, $61 month-to-month): it's the only Acuity plan with API access, and the whole system is built on it. Pricing as of August 2026.
Not a dashboard nobody opens. A short, plain-language rundown of what happened and what it was worth.
Sample data. All-in-One tier.
Five questions. Get your recommended tier and true monthly total at the end, or skip straight to a walkthrough call.
Acuity Powerhouse is required on every tier: it's the only Acuity plan with API access. Twilio carries the texts. Front is added on Convertible and All-in-One for two-way texting, and Stripe is optional if you want payment links.
About a week of calendar time. The long pole is texting registration: A2P 10DLC carrier approval, which we file on day one and build everything else around.
Base and Convertible run alongside it: your booking page simply links from your existing site. All-in-One replaces the website entirely, and GGS builds, hosts, and maintains it.
Yes. The Acuity, Twilio, and Front accounts are yours, the business number is yours, and your full customer history stays with you if you ever leave.
A 6-month minimum on Base and Convertible, 12 months on All-in-One, since that's what the website build amortizes. After the minimum it runs month-to-month.
