    Any integrated agency (more than just a single-discipline agency) that's looking for a one-stop shop to manage all aspects of running the business would do well to consider Advantage as the single-source tool to do it all. Single-discipline agencies could probably find a less robust tool that's equally as effective for tracking and reporting.

    This is great if only used for job costing.

    Cons
    HomeTech Systems
    • Advantage is hugely cumbersome. There are hundreds of functions I will never use, and that I'm not sure anyone else in the organization uses.
    • The user interface could be better. Every time there's an update, there's a small but definitive learning curve.

    • Syncing with QuickBooks could be a little better, only syncs to main customer and not projects.
    • Does not have the ability to be used in the field.
    • Cannot collect payment or invoice from the field, only office staff can do this which makes for a lot of missed money collection.

    We have also used BidClips. I find that Advantage gave us more flexibility with custom estimates & report tracking.

    Knowify does job costing which HouseCall Pro does not, it syncs with QuickBooks a little better than HouseCall Pro but does not allow our technicians to invoice from the field which is crucial.

    • Keeps good track of all bills and expenses.
    • It would be nice to be able to see a list of all bills and not have to look under each project/job.
    • Allows us to see if a job is headed south and quickly correct it.
