Certa vs. Penny Software

Our brief experience with Certa was great overall. We liked the many options it provided, and saw how easily it could help manage our company's needs. However, the app was not as intuitive to work our way through, especially for those in our company that are not tech savvy. The onboarding function was what I was most excited about while using it. The dashboard made it super easy to see the overview of a project and know the next steps that need to be taken, and help get everyone on the same page without having to send emails, calls or texts to give updates. However, when deciding whether to continue with Certa or go a different route, the choice was hard, but he had enough employees struggling and unsure on the app that made the end decision

As previously stated, the use of Penny Software is great for the procurement of equipment required to do our jobs. We have seen a number of vendors come up with great pricing options for us to use. This way we have saved large amounts of money which we could invest in other areas of the business.

• Because it is fully customizable, we felt like there were too many options. Having more of a basic template for like-minded industries would be helpful.
• Maneuvering around the app was not as easy as I'd hoped. We have several employees that aren't tech savvy, and it was hard getting them to use the app.

We actually ended up picking JobNimbus over Certa only because we had employees that were already familier with JN and felt comfortable navigating and assisting other coworkers. It came down to JN and Certa and that was the only reason we didn't go with Certa. They were very comparable, but the few employees that are not tech savvy were having difficulties navigating Certa. I would not be opposed to using Certa in the future or recommending it to other companies.

Penny Software has a great UI with a great support system. We are able to alter what we see and how we see particular data. This makes it easier for us to make decisions based on the information provided in a convenient manner. The support from the Penny team makes it easy for us to make adjustments to whatever we require out of the software, it also helps the team to get familiar with features they may have never used before.

• The contract software was great. We were spending money each month to have certified contracts signed and drawn up. Certa did a great job at including this feature, saving money overall.
• Once all documents and contacts are inputted, so much time and effort would be saved. We would no longer need to call, email or follow up with each other to verify that tasks were completed.

Incentivized

• Positive ROI, is not particularly tangible, but the time saved meant that staff can focus on other projects
