RolloutIQ™ vs Fieldwire
The Portfolio Rollout Layer Above Fieldwire
Fieldwire is a strong field-execution tool with best-in-class drawings and native mobile apps. RolloutIQ™ is the portfolio rollout system above it. It holds a store model and a governed budget, tracks permits, inspections, and any milestone your team adds as scheduled deliverables, and exposes a read-only MCP server.
The Challenge
Where Fieldwire Stops Short for Multisite Retail
Fieldwire is a great field tool, and its Business Plus plan adds budgets, change orders, RFIs, submittals, and a cross-project dashboard. Multisite retail rollouts need the portfolio and lifecycle layers on top of that.
Portfolio View Covers Open Items
Fieldwire's Dashboard now shows open RFIs, submittals, and change orders across projects. It does not roll up on-track percentage, key-deliverable completion, or opening-date countdown across a store portfolio.
Budget Tools on the Top Tier
Fieldwire's budget, change order, RFI, and submittal modules sit on Business Plus at $89 per user per month billed annually, and accounting runs through its QuickBooks Online and Sage Intacct integrations. RolloutIQ™ adds a budget baseline locked by approval and changed only through routed, versioned revisions.
Built Around the Field, Without a Store Record
Fieldwire's model is built around trades and field work. Its public pages describe no store record with a lifecycle status, and no brand or region on a location. RolloutIQ™ holds each store from planning to open, with its permit and inspection milestones on the schedule.
API Access Goes Through Sales
Fieldwire's API access is arranged through sales on a managed account, and there is no MCP server as of September 2026. RolloutIQ™ includes a REST API with user-scoped tokens and a read-only MCP server.

- Portfolio map and list across every location
- Schedule health rolled up by brand, region, and market

A Schedule That Recalculates When Reality Changes
A real critical-path schedule with dependency math. Move one deliverable and RolloutIQ™ ripples the change through the timeline, so the new opening date shows up the moment you save.
- Critical-path dependencies with lag
- Ripple recalculation, with a preview of critical dates that move
- Phase and deliverable milestones per project

Portfolio Reporting Built for Leadership
Four tabs of portfolio reports show which projects are on track, which need attention, and which are at risk, with a CSV of any section or a board-ready PDF of any tab.

Follow every store from planning through closeout in one platform, with punch capture in the mobile browser. Your GCs can keep Fieldwire while the portfolio runs here.
Governed Budgets
A project's budget is locked by approval and changed only through routed, versioned revisions, so cost decisions stay in one system of record.
Agents on Your Own Stack
Connect AI agents to your project data through a tenant-scoped, read-only MCP server and a REST API, and build document search and schedule reporting on the LLM stack your team already uses.
FAQ
RolloutIQ™ vs Fieldwire: common questions
Yes. Your general contractors can keep Fieldwire on each build while RolloutIQ holds the portfolio. Fieldwire integrates with Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, and Smartsheet, and RolloutIQ can mirror a Smartsheet schedule, so dates can flow through a sheet your team already keeps.
Fieldwire's budget, change order, RFI, and submittal modules sit on Business Plus at $89 per user per month billed annually, so a portfolio team pays per seat for every coordinator who needs cost tools.
Fieldwire's Field Intelligence is in beta and works inside the Fieldwire app. There is no documented MCP server as of September 2026. RolloutIQ's read-only MCP server is what gives an outside assistant that access.
