RealPage, headquartered in Richardson, offers OneSite Leasing and Rents, the company's end-to-end property management solution which is fully customizable with a suite of modules available supporting accounting and budgeting, facilities management, document management, employee LMS, and other features.
The cost of Jobber is not suitable for a startup - even our company size is hard pressed to squeeze in other areas of business to afford the cost. Zenmaid or other maid-forward services may be better suited since Jobber seems to focus it's offerings on one-off as opposed to recurring services like ours. For business who do in-person estimates like ours, the streamlined estimate feature which causes increased conversion rates makes it worth the cost - as we anecdotally gain more business this way. However, if we switch to an online booking / instant booking model as opposed to in-person estimates, we may not require this feature. Zenmaid has a "gamified" residential booking page that was extremely high converting for us - we received sometimes 30+ inquiries per day due to the ease of use - MANY more completed inquiries than we receive now - but they didn't have a quoting and deposit collection tool - so here we are. If we used their instant booking feature we would have stayed due to the scheduling tool, gap finder, prevention of double booking employees, and cleaning service focus, as well as significantly reduced pricing.
OneSite Leasing and Rents is great for a decent-sized portfolio for all property management industries. While I currently use it for the Student Housing sector, I could see it doing the same functions in a Conventional and/or Senior space. I would not say OneSite is suitable for small property management businesses.
For us, sometimes doesn't save the data, just gone, especially terrible if you have a data interruption since it has zero offline capability.
I think the price is way high now, made the mistake of 'upgrading' and cannot go back.
In my experience, way too easy to create a duplicate entry of anything, then near impossible to clean up, unless you notice it immediately.
I found no merge functionality. Same client has two entries? Too bad.
In my experience, does not work with Xero accounting software, took a long time to figure that out especially since they advertise it and that was why we chose both of them, for the supposed integration. For us, Quickbooks was also a pain.
In my experience, the app is unusable, must use the web version on a mobile device.
In my experience, the integrated payment processing cannot accept debit in Canada, only credit cards.
Limited accessibility - Various functions are only available through Internet Explorer.
Reporting errors - Lately OneSite has experienced several errors within their reporting that have taken a decent amount of time to where it is affected business operations.
Customer service - OneSite's general customer service line could use some overall improvement in the process it takes to resolve routine issues.
Jobber is an easy-to-use and friendly software designed for efficiency. Its interface is well-organized, ensuring that each section is intuitive and accessible. Users can navigate smoothly through tasks, making project management simpler. Overall, Jobber enhances productivity and streamlines operations, making it a valuable tool for various projects.
There is hardly an app that covers it all while staying simple and wrapping up the process. From the filing of the request, everything goes smoothly following a natural progression. Reports are insightful, give you an instant overview and easy to understand. In addition, you can easily track any information from those on clients to expense tracking.
The support could use several improvements overall. Often times the agents you are speaking to go through a really slow and tedious troubleshooting process and when you attempt to explain what you've already tried, they still insist you begin at the beginning. The support you get doesn't always match the problem you are trying to solve and they have no online chat option available which is difficult when trying to resolve an issue and not having the time to spend on hold on the phone.
Square only allows for scheduling to one person. And my team couldn’t see their schedules. As a cleaning company, I need to let cleaners know what their pay is without them seeing what I’m charging. That’s game changer about Kobber.
I have only ever used a company made software and Yardi (for a short time). So I'm not too familiar with other software applications. However, in my experience, they all seem to operate very similarly. Most of the reporting and basic functions need to be universal for daily operations. Outside of that, I feel each has an equal amount of pros and cons to their software.
