    If you need a system to place and track sales quotes, sales orders, purchase orders, and service calls then E-Automate is perfect. However, if you want to be able to easily bulk upload customers and contracts or if you want to be able to quickly and easily track contract profitability, customer costs, etc, then you'll likely want/need a secondary or different system to do so.

    Fleet Complete is a great software with a great build. I would just like to see them update some of the features. The desktop version is a big item that really could use an update. They also need to set up an alert system that will notify you when a tracker stops working. Other than that, it is an easy to use system. The trackers are easy to install and there are numerous reports that you are able to pull on demand. Great for IFTA tracking!

    Pros
    ECI Software Solutions
    • Sending Invoices out to customers via email or printing.
    • Keep track of ordering and inventory.
    • Sales Tax reporting.
    • Monitoring customer payment activity/setting up and removing credit holds.
    • Calculating payments to process each cycle.
    • Excellent aging reports.
    • I like the fact that when I am looking at one item, such as an invoice, I have the capability to switch to the customer menu rather than having to exit out of invoices and then enter into customers.
    • I love the flexibility of the search menus - being able to sort on several factors at once.

    Cons
    ECI Software Solutions
    • Make sales invoices not require serial numbers, or be more flexible with it.
    • Make contract invoices have some sort of flexibility in terms of editing. Our end users complain that QuickBooks made it very easy to edit invoices, and in e-automate, for them, it is practically impossible. (I do personally understand why it has to be as it is myself, I'm just forwarding their observation.)
    • Make the API actually useful. I spent days looking at the functions and the functions available are not really useful.

    • Desktop version is very outdated. Needs to be created to work with Macs as well.
    • The trackers will stop working without notifying you. Would be nice if there was an alert when they were getting low or not reporting.

    Its really the only option for the industry that does enough of what we need for it to function . I'm not sure if there were better options out there if we would have to renew our subscription. With the addition of AI, hopefully something will be able to become more useful.

    Usability
    ECI Software Solutions
    The user interface may be slightly outdated, but it is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Once you have learned one module within the system it is very easy to apply that knowledge to any other module. It makes using the system much easier, and it makes training another person on the system quick and efficient.

    Reports are the struggle the most with the information being extracted in a way that you need to copy and paste it into a new document so some of the information is not covered

    Support Rating
    ECI Software Solutions
    Sometimes when you need answers quickly, a voice on the phone is far better than having to wait for email support or a callback. I have found this to have delays and feel ECI e-automate should invest more in its support infrastructure.

    Sometimes it can take days to get through to support. It is also an inconvenience when you have to get a device replaced. First you have to call them to troubleshoot the device. Then they have to create the order, which then takes about another month to get to you. This leaves you with over a month without a working device. They do not credit you for this downtime either.

    E-automate is much better at understanding the needs of the office equipment industry and provide the necessary tools. SAP Business One has limited features specific to the office equipment industry and includes things that are not useful. E-automate is also priced much better and provides the best value for your investment.

    Fleet Complete works ten times better than Teletrac did. We utilized Teletrac for 3 years, and for a good two of those years, half of our devices would not work. It was a nightmare to try to get them replaced also.

    Return on Investment
    ECI Software Solutions
    • The e-automate will stop working if we stop paying each year. We chose not to go to the cloud and buy the software. QuickBooks and other software are a one-time fee.
    • E-automate has very few outside vendors for add-on modules.
    • The vendors that do have modules are costly.

    • Peace of mind when it comes to hanging assets.
    • We have saved a lot of time when trying to calculate IFTA each quarter.
