HomeTech ADVANTAGE vs. Leap

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.

Leap (formerly JobProgress) helped us automate and simply our processes. We chose it over competitors because we were able to customize it to the different service offerings we provided - other platforms seem to be designed for one type of service or another making them problematic. We were able to reduce the number of software providers we use and integrate others that we were using separately. It is designed well to track [potential] jobs, but it does not work well for tracking business development opportunities.

• Media billing
• PO Organization
• Time Details on Billing

Incentivized

• Providing proposal viewing
• Allowing clients to accept proposal terms electronically
• Tracking project progress and payment status

• 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.

Incentivized

• Reporting
• Deadlines on updates
• Lists populate differently (e.g., alphabetical vs. order they were created)

Incentivized

Had to reach out to support several times because interface is not intuitive and help files are sparse

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

Incentivized

We evaluated close to ten other platforms including Dataforma, Job Nimbus, AccuLynx, Propeller, FCS, etc., but chose Leap (formerly JobProgress) because of the flexibility it offered - customize our service offerings and how jobs flow through our process, automation through the process, integration with other vendors, and ease of use for the office and field.

Incentivized

• It keeps POs organized by job so that we can track easier
• Provides reporting that gives insight into employee time and where it's spent

Incentivized

• Multiple staff can access system in office and in the field
• Can measure project profitability
