Ignition vs. Leap vs. PandaDoc

It can be used to invoice for anyone, so I will always recommend it.

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.

Best suited for after demonstrations when requested by the prospect when they are looking for pricing with T&C. The data room is also great that acts like a drop box for opportunities and their contacts. Helps share pertinent information with others in the organization.

• Proposal process. PI makes it easy to create and send proposals to new and existing clients, collect their payment info, and get signature on the engagement letter.
• Easily identify engagements that will be expiring, so we can begin to assemble a renewal.
• Communication to and from the client during the proposal process, which keeps everything associated with the proposal together in one place.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• Allows clients to remotely execute documents.
• Tracks the progress of document execution.
• Emails clients to remind them to sign documents so we don't have to follow up.
• Emails us when documents have been fully executed.
• Provides an easy-to use interface to place signatures, dates, and other information on our forms.

• I would love to see it really support other industries better, like Marketing. There are workarounds for invoicing and set up, but it could be easier.
• I would love the option to be able to send the client a single proposal with different options and allow them to select which one they want to move forward with. Right now we have to send a proposal for each option.
• I would love for there to be user permissions where certain users can log in to see the proposals they are associated with without seeing everything.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• Sometimes the fillable fields don't automatically map properly and you have to manually adjust.
• Plan tiers and pricing recently changed, so now we get less value and less features (limited templates, no more pricing tables or invoicing/connected payment) for the same price, which is pricy for a small business.
• Easier, integrated invoicing as an included feature (so we don't have to use a different software for invoicing/payment collection) would be ideal. You have to upgrade to the Business Plan for this.

The reason I gave it a rating of 7 is because it's probable, but not for sure. This is because there are a few little things we don't love about pandadoc. Mostly that there is not conditional logic such as: they must either fill this field out OR this one. Also it's a little pricey. But we'll probably stay because it's good enough and a pain to switch to something new

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

Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.

We haven't had any real issues regarding downtime as of yet.

The documents load quickly for the most part but sometimes if there are larger documents with a high number of variables it could take a bit longer to get the document to show up. Most of the time the document comes on the screen relatively quickly allowing for quick access to documents to be edited and sent out.

Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.

Implementation was before the time I was here at Riafox, however, support has been great in assisting to merge spaces and upgrade to 2.0 Editor.

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.

Incentivized

We used Dropbox back when it was still HelloSign. At the time, new templates were very hard to create. We had to upload a PDF and then add the fields from there. With PandaDoc, we are able to drag and drop the text, images, logos, and fields we need easily. This has saved our team an immense amount of time.

It's scalable

• We have reduced our A/R by 60% and expect to completely eliminate A/R by the end of this year.

Incentivized

• Multiple staff can access system in office and in the field
• Can measure project profitability
• Track follow up with prospective and current clients

Incentivized

• We have greatly increased the efficiency in which we can get signatures from individuals for documents and increase productivity.
• We have been able to find older documents very easily.
• W-9 have been very difficult due to Section 3, but this was addressed with conditional logic
