    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.

    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.

    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    The user interface may be slightly outdated, but it is very intuitive and easy to navigate.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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    WEX Field Service Management Screenshots

    Screenshot of One System for Office, Field, and Management
This shows how the software links every device in your company together in real time. It displays the office dispatch board, the manager's performance metrics, and the tech's mobile GPS map all on one page. Whether you are sitting at a desktop, holding a tablet, or checking a smartphone, everyone sees the exact same schedule and customer info without anyone having to manually copy or sync data.Screenshot of The Boss’s Overview and Smart Reports
This gives the boss a quick look at the company’s bottom line without making them dig through paperwork. It combines a natural language search tool called Assist IQ, where you just type a normal question to get an instant bar chart, with easy-to-read boxes showing total revenue, active customers, and invoices. It lays out all your sales, maps, and numbers on one screen so you can easily see if you're making a profit.Screenshot of The Tech’s All-in-One Service Call Screen
This puts everything a tech needs for an active job order right on a single smartphone screen. It is built simple so guys out in the elements don't have to keep scrolling or tapping through menus. It keeps the job clock, the customer's address, specific equipment info, a photo of the house, and big, easy buttons to update job status all in one clean view so the tech can focus on the actual work.Screenshot of The "Good, Better, Best" Kitchen Table Estimate
This shows the full digital bidding screen you use when standing right in front of the customer. It copies a professional, multi-option paper estimate but does the math for you. The entire view is set up to lay out three different equipment options side-by-side with clear pricing, warranties, and system specs so the homeowner can look at their choices and sign off on the job right on the spot.Screenshot of The Link Between Field Timecards and Office Records
This view shows how field work instantly updates the office database with zero paperwork. The whole layout connects what the tech is doing on their phone, like clocking in, viewing their schedule, and driving to jobs, directly into the main office computer. It connects daily timecards, job histories, notes, and maintenance plans on a single screen so the office and the field are always on the same page.
