HouseCall Pro vs. ServiceTitan

[HouseCall Pro] would be great for service techs and smaller companies but is tough for companies that do multiple types of jobs, [do] not sync well with QBO for us, and creates an accounting mess. Also does not do job costing so hard to actually keep track of jobs

Incentivized

Well suited for larger companies, and companies that can take advantage of numerous features like dispatching, inventory, etc. Smaller shops may not find ServiceTitan as helpful or at least potentially complicated for a scaled back operation. It doesn't have accounting software, so make sure you have QuickBooks or something similar.

• Real-time tracking. The biggest problem in logistics in, my opinion, is knowing if your products are arriving on time or not especially as it pertains to food, that was huge here.
• Most of our managers travel constantly from corporate to distribution because of how centralized the company is they needed something flexible that allowed them to run reports whenever and however.
• Ease of use - I'll be honest in that our employees are not the cream of the crop as it pertains to their education, this software made the learning process simple.

• Job costing
• QBO integration
• Reporting

• We'd like to be able to text estimates (currently, email is the only function)
• We'd like to have audit trails on Customer and Location records (currently only at the job level)
• We'd like to be able to email/text the customer multiple options within estimates, like the techs can do on their tablet, it's just not a function that can be presented by the office.

Much easier to use.

No comparisons. Everyone tries to emulate Service Titan. Service Titan has had the best support. Service Titan also seems like they have a better development team to build out their product and listen to client feedback. Where that's helpful is that they're constantly pushing the envelope of what's possible with enhancing client experience and streamlining operations for a business owner.

• Negative is time lost fixing books.
• Negative is having to use multiple programs to fulfill needs so it takes 2x as long.
• [The] positive is that it is very user-friendly so our team has picked it up easily and techs save time in the field.

Incentivized

• We can more effectively retain customers and send them offers if it's been a while since their last visit.
• Our cash flow has dramatically improved because now the technicians invoice everything.
• We can get estimates out the door within the hour, not days later.
