Dubsado vs. Veeva CRM

If you are a small service-based business owner looking for a CRM to automate your customer journey then this is for you. This platform is very customizable and can be really powerful once you set it up fully. This is like putting puzzle pieces together. First you need to setup all the pieces like scheduler, lead capture form, proposal, packages, invoices, contract and then setup the workflow automation. It will be helpful if you map your process in a mind-mapping tool first so it’s easy to see on high level what you need accomplished. This platform is not suitable for big companies or SaaS industry because the tagging system is not robust.

Good for larger teams with a lot of activities and therefore a good justification for the investment. Great for 'as above' + the companies looking to integrate Veeva CRM with other Veeva offerings, such as Align, Inslight, Zinc/PromoMats etc. Not so great for smaller organisations or those with more slightly more restricting budgets.

• Invoicing & expense reporting all in one place! I don't have to spend hours poring over my bank account transactions to find my biz expenses anymore!
• The built-in call scheduler is awesome! I can create various appointment schedulers with multiple availabilities, and collect payments right up front, too!
• Dubsado also has a sweet Client Portal where my clients can login and see all their activity with me at a glance.

Incentivized

• Commercial Cloud
• Sunrise UI
• Multi device support from browser, iOS devices

Incentivized

• the task list feature is very basic
• the UI is a little clunky
• more integrations with other software such as Clickup

Incentivized

• There is no offline version of the app so it is hard for field staffs to access where internet connectivity is not strong
• Can be expensive specially for a smaller company as it is based on SAAS platform

There are some similar programs out there that are offering ambassador accounts.

There is a learning curve to Dubsado, however, you can create a basic setup easily using the training videos provided by the platform

The support with Dubsado is outstanding! Always so helpful, prompt to answer and always understands the issue. It always feels like I have talking to an actual person behind the scenes

Dubsado is more customizable and with robust features. Also, the user interface is visually pleasing but definitely has steep learning curve. Once you get the hang of it, it’s very easy especially with other developers helping users create beautiful form, proposals with ease without needing to know how to code. HoneyBook is not available for people outside USA & Canada. I haven’t used 17hats for a very long time but the user interface is pretty much the same

Better for field based medical personnel when recording Medical calls.

• Clients are excited to hire me because my onboarding process is so professional
• Easy of use makes collecting payment from clients easy
• Streamlined process allows me to charge more for my services

• Oftentimes it is the field sales force that heavily influence the choice of the CRM solution. It appears that many of our field sales force prefer Veeva. Happy reps = more actively used CRM = clearer understanding of the reps' activities.
• Veeva offer 2 implementation versions - out of the box implementation (around 6-8 weeks to install) and 'all singing, all dancing' implementation (based on the length of your specific string). You can pick one and therefore influence your ROI accordingly.
• Again, as Veeva CRM is pretty much a de facto CRM solution, this is good for scalability if/when rolling it out across multiple regions/branches
