    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.

    Sohodox is a beneficial paperless office software product that is quick to install, cost-effective, and easy to operate; it works very well with any TWAIN compatible scanner. It is a perfect solution for small business document management that features all tools which are needed to manage electronic and paper documents more efficiently. It lets you scan, index, organize, store, search and manage documents.

    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.

    • Supports all document types as well as versioning.
    • Integrated across all computer and mobile device operating systems for complete access to data.
    • Complex indexing that allows for advanced and fast searching.
    • Easy to use interface that is not challenging for the average user.

    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.

    • Not a truly scalable software package, best fit for single or smaller organizations up to 15 users.
    • Does not force structure and is less document management and more document storage / organization.
    • Pricing is not cheap but is relative to what you receive, online document storage and advanced access across devices.

    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.

    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.

    • Very scalable, but only to a certain level (1-15 users or so max).
    • Interface and usability are user-friendly, without sacrificing features and power.
    • Advanced tagging and searching allows users to save documents and organize them "their way" without forcing specific workflows.
