    Ignition
    Ignition (initially called Practice Ignition) performs quite well at proposal building, contract development, tracking and invoicing, payment and collections. The only issues where I see Ignition not being a good fit is in smaller firms that require a more feature rich plan. A perfect example is a solo firm has a limited number of proposals they can activate, and would have to spend extra for additional features like multiple e-signatures.

    Leap
    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.

    Pros
    Ignition
    • Automatic Payments: You set up a proposal to collect payments once and you don't have to worry about bugging the client for payment every month.
    • Amazing support: I have always received answers from the support team within the same day. They are very patient and understanding.
    • Integrates with Xero: It integrates with our accounting software, making reporting faster.

    Cons
    Ignition
    • The charge back process is messy and not transparent enough. When there is a charge back, PI deducts the amount from other payments settling on the same day, and does not provide a break down of the amounts. This makes it impossible to track without getting help from support.
    • PI should send email alerts monthly (or at some interval determined by user) for expiring engagements.
    • PI should allow the client to make service selections -- we should be able to offer 2 or 3 options under a service offering, and the client chooses and sees the impact on monthly/annual pricing.
    • PI should allow for more than 2 templates (Business and Individual).
    • PI should integrate with Jet Pack Workflow to automate the creation of new jobs once a proposal is approved.

    Usability
    Ignition
    The Ignition product is quite usable for the average user. The app has preloaded templates that can get even new-hires to navigate the software and set up proposals. The only area where I see the Ignition product lacking is the additional fees smaller firms may have to pay to get the full feature advantages of the product.

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

    You aren't able to customize the design of the proposal, but it surpases everything we have ever tried. It's easy to use and quick to learn.

    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.
