    If you’re drowning in spreadsheets for dues, this is worth every penny.

    We use KickServ for nearly every aspect of our operation and cannot think of a scenario when it is "inappropriate" or "less appropriate". It is the backbone of our operation and is used for everything from data gathering to estimates to invoices to payments and accounts receivables to reports to tracking to storage of photos and past invoices. Better searching abilities would be good instead of having to create tags for things we don't know we are going to need later.

    Pros
    Condo Control Central
    • Clear, downloadable payment reports.

    Kickserv
    • Organization - keeps everything organized nicely and has several different filters that you can use to view only the information you need.
    • Simple website - this was important because you want it to load quickly when you are in the office and on the road.
    • Database - keeps track of the things that you enter. This is nice when trying to get information on a product or a price when requested by the customer.

    • Integration with email marketing
    • Advanced searching capabilities (i.e. If I wanted to search for every job I did that had the words "water damage" in their descriptions).
    • More ability to customize templates (like adding additional artwork, pictures)

    Usability
    Condo Control Central
    Because the platform is generally intuitive and easy to navigate, even for users who aren’t very tech-savvy. The main features are well-organized, and most tasks can be completed without much hassle. I especially appreciate the clean interface and helpful support resources. However, there are a few areas where the user experience could be improved, such as adding more customization options and streamlining some of the workflows

    It is intuitive enough, but there is some training that will be necessary because of a perceived redundancy within their workflow. It can be hard to distinguish which stage a customer is in (thus what the most important thing to be working on, if you are in sales, for instance) without some training.

    Very good technical help. The team is well-versed in their product and what to look for, particularly when interacting with other software platforms. You nearly always get a live person when you call, and if you don't, they will return your call promptly. This is another factor in my client's decision to move forward with their solution.

    Easier to use than Salesforce. More robust than Zoho. More functionality that is easier to learn than both.

    • The adoption of HOA Central has allowed us to scale our operations without increasing overhead. The ease of use has led to higher engagement from both staff and residents, directly supporting our business growth objectives.

    • We are essentially paper free. No paper work orders.
    • We've been able to avoid a layer of middle management by supplementing this layer with technology. KickServ is a part of that layer.
    • Negatively speaking, like all technology, it has created a void of human level connection. Because we know that we can deliver work orders to our foremen remotely, we are less likely to drive up to the shop and shake a hand or see someone face to face. We had to learn that lesson the hard way, that both technology and human connection are necessary to maintain our culture.
