ADVANTAGE vs. Leap

Any integrated agency (more than just a single-discipline agency) that's looking for a one-stop shop to manage all aspects of running the business would do well to consider Advantage as the single-source tool to do it all. Single-discipline agencies could probably find a less robust tool that's equally as effective for tracking and reporting.

Leap (formerly JobProgress) helped us automate and simply our processes. We chose it over competitors because we were able to customize it to the different service offerings we provided - other platforms seem to be designed for one type of service or another making them problematic. We were able to reduce the number of software providers we use and integrate others that we were using separately. It is designed well to track [potential] jobs, but it does not work well for tracking business development opportunities.

• Advantage is hugely cumbersome. There are hundreds of functions I will never use, and that I'm not sure anyone else in the organization uses.
• The user interface could be better. Every time there's an update, there's a small but definitive learning curve.

Incentivized

• Reporting
• Deadlines on updates
• Lists populate differently (e.g., alphabetical vs. order they were created)

We have also used BidClips. I find that Advantage gave us more flexibility with custom estimates & report tracking.

Incentivized

We evaluated close to ten other platforms including Dataforma, Job Nimbus, AccuLynx, Propeller, FCS, etc., but chose Leap (formerly JobProgress) because of the flexibility it offered - customize our service offerings and how jobs flow through our process, automation through the process, integration with other vendors, and ease of use for the office and field.

Incentivized

• Advantage has everything to do with our company's ability to run an effective back office.
• When you have a company that does a wide variety of concurrent projects, you need a great tool to manage it all. Advantage does that for us.
• As I am unfamiliar with the pricing model (I'm not a member of the team that negotiates this particular product), I can't provide any true ROI from an overall business perspective.

Incentivized

• Reduced cost - moved from 3 software providers to 1
• Gave field technicians greater capabilities and moved to paperless processes
• Automation and simplification of processes
