RolloutIQ vs Fieldwire
The Portfolio Rollout Layer Above Fieldwire
Fieldwire is a strong field-execution tool with best-in-class drawings and mobile, often used alongside an owner platform. RolloutIQ is the portfolio rollout system above it, with a retail lifecycle, a governed budget, lease and permit milestones tracked as scheduled deliverables, and an MCP server that lets your team build AI agents on its own LLM stack.
The Challenge
Where Fieldwire Stops Short for Multisite Retail
Fieldwire is a great single-project field tool. Multisite retail rollouts need everything Fieldwire does plus the portfolio, financial, and lifecycle layers it does not.
No Portfolio Visibility
Each Fieldwire project is siloed. Retailers managing 50 stores cannot see on-track percentage, key-deliverable completion, or opening-date countdown across the portfolio from one place. Cross-project schedule health is invisible.
No Financial System of Record
Fieldwire added budget and change-order modules on its top tier, but there is no invoicing, no AP or AR, and no full job costing. It is not a financial system of record. A governed budget with approval routing and versioned revisions across a portfolio requires a separate platform.
No Retail Lifecycle Awareness
Fieldwire has no concept of lease milestones, prototype versioning, franchisee handoff, or soft-open versus grand-open gates. Retail rollout workflows must be assembled manually from generic task primitives.
Mature API, but Gated and No MCP
Fieldwire ships a mature REST API, though access is gated behind an Enterprise plan, and it has no MCP server for customer-built AI agents. RolloutIQ exposes an open API and an MCP server so teams can build agents on top of their portfolio data without an enterprise upgrade.

Use Cases
Why Retail Teams Pair or Replace Fieldwire with RolloutIQ
Portfolio Schedule Health
See on-track percentage, key-deliverable completion, and opening-date countdown across 50 to 500 stores from one portfolio dashboard. Fieldwire only sees one project at a time.
End-to-End Lifecycle
Site selection through closeout in one platform, with field-capture native rather than bolted on. No more stitching Fieldwire to Procore to Smartsheet to track a rollout.
Governed Budgets
A project's budget is locked by approval and changed only through routed, versioned revisions, in the same platform as field execution, so cost decisions and the work stay in one system of record.
Agentic Enablement via MCP
Connect AI agents to your project data via a tenant-scoped MCP server and open REST API. Build document search, schedule reporting, and portfolio roll-ups on the LLM stack your team already uses.
