Vento vs Onsite7
Onsite7 is job and project management software for construction and trade businesses. Onsite7 helps trade and construction teams manage jobs, documents and site paperwork. Vento adds the air-con engineering a general site tool doesn't — room-by-room sizing, scaled system drawings and refrigerant compliance.
The comparison below is at a category level: both handle the day-to-day admin of running a trade business, but only Vento is built around air-conditioning design and engineering. Onsite7's exact features vary by plan and change over time — confirm current details on Onsite7's website.

"Varies" means the capability exists in some form or depends on plan/integration. General field-service platforms cover many trades; air-con-specific engineering like room-by-room heat-load and refrigerant system design is not something they set out to do. We don't speak for Onsite7's product — verify current capabilities directly.
Where Vento wins for air-con installers
- The engineering is built in — Manual J heat-load, capacity matching and scaled system drawings are part of the workflow — not a separate CAD seat, spreadsheet or add-on a general tool can't provide.
- Purpose-built, not adapted — Vento only does air conditioning, so surveying, sizing, drawings and F-Gas fit how your jobs actually run — where Onsite7 is built to serve many trades at once.
- Win the job on the visit — Survey, design, proposal, e-sign and deposit happen in one visit, so you leave with a signed job and money in the bank.
If you run several trades, a broad platform like Onsite7 may suit you. If air conditioning is your business, Vento is built for exactly that.
