What's broken on most locksmith websites
We keep seeing the same leak on locksmith sites: emergency lockouts, automotive key work, and commercial security quotes all arrive through the same vague form. The owner or dispatcher then has to reconstruct the job while the customer is calling the next shop. That is not just a form problem. It becomes a response and routing failure because the urgent job is competing with everything else in the same queue.
Cost of delay
A weak locksmith handoff can cost the emergency lockout, the same-day key job, or the higher-value commercial quote that should have moved faster.

What the connected website changes
What a FieldPulse-connected website does instead
The website separates emergency lockout work from planned commercial quotes before the handoff starts. On the native path, the Booking Portal can capture the request or estimate. On the custom path, a backend can use a support-issued FieldPulse API key to create or update the right customer, location, job, or estimate record. After the handoff, existing customers can keep using the Customer Portal for updates, documents, and payment.
Native path
Use the Booking Portal when the locksmith shop can stay inside FieldPulse's standard request or estimate flow for service work.
API or managed intake
Use the API path when the website needs stronger emergency triage, automotive-versus-commercial routing, or richer follow-up context before the office responds.
Connection patterns
How the connection works
Native FieldPulse Booking Portal
The customer uses FieldPulse's native booking or estimate flow and the request lands inside FieldPulse right away. This is the fastest path when the locksmith shop mainly needs standard intake without a custom qualification layer.
When to use
Choose this when the business wants straightforward locksmith request capture inside FieldPulse.
Custom locksmith intake + FieldPulse API
The website asks whether the buyer needs an emergency lockout, automotive key service, or a commercial security quote before the handoff starts. A backend then uses a support-issued FieldPulse API key to create or update the matching records so the office is not triaging a vague callback.
When to use
Choose this when urgent lockouts and planned commercial work need different routing.
