    We use KickServ for nearly every aspect of our operation and cannot think of a scenario when it is "inappropriate" or "less appropriate". It is the backbone of our operation and is used for everything from data gathering to estimates to invoices to payments and accounts receivables to reports to tracking to storage of photos and past invoices. Better searching abilities would be good instead of having to create tags for things we don't know we are going to need later.

    Pros
    Kickserv
    • Organization - keeps everything organized nicely and has several different filters that you can use to view only the information you need.
    • Simple website - this was important because you want it to load quickly when you are in the office and on the road.
    • Database - keeps track of the things that you enter. This is nice when trying to get information on a product or a price when requested by the customer.

    Cons
    Kickserv
    • Integration with email marketing
    • Advanced searching capabilities (i.e. If I wanted to search for every job I did that had the words "water damage" in their descriptions).
    • More ability to customize templates (like adding additional artwork, pictures)

    Usability
    Kickserv
    It is intuitive enough, but there is some training that will be necessary because of a perceived redundancy within their workflow. It can be hard to distinguish which stage a customer is in (thus what the most important thing to be working on, if you are in sales, for instance) without some training.

    Very good technical help. The team is well-versed in their product and what to look for, particularly when interacting with other software platforms. You nearly always get a live person when you call, and if you don't, they will return your call promptly. This is another factor in my client's decision to move forward with their solution.

    Easier to use than Salesforce. More robust than Zoho. More functionality that is easier to learn than both.

    Return on Investment
    Kickserv
    • We are essentially paper free. No paper work orders.
    • We've been able to avoid a layer of middle management by supplementing this layer with technology. KickServ is a part of that layer.
    • Negatively speaking, like all technology, it has created a void of human level connection. Because we know that we can deliver work orders to our foremen remotely, we are less likely to drive up to the shop and shake a hand or see someone face to face. We had to learn that lesson the hard way, that both technology and human connection are necessary to maintain our culture.

    ScreenShots

    WEX Field Service Management Screenshots

    Screenshot of One System for Office, Field, and Management
This shows how the software links every device in your company together in real time. It displays the office dispatch board, the manager's performance metrics, and the tech's mobile GPS map all on one page. Whether you are sitting at a desktop, holding a tablet, or checking a smartphone, everyone sees the exact same schedule and customer info without anyone having to manually copy or sync data.Screenshot of The Boss’s Overview and Smart Reports
This gives the boss a quick look at the company’s bottom line without making them dig through paperwork. It combines a natural language search tool called Assist IQ, where you just type a normal question to get an instant bar chart, with easy-to-read boxes showing total revenue, active customers, and invoices. It lays out all your sales, maps, and numbers on one screen so you can easily see if you're making a profit.Screenshot of The Tech’s All-in-One Service Call Screen
This puts everything a tech needs for an active job order right on a single smartphone screen. It is built simple so guys out in the elements don't have to keep scrolling or tapping through menus. It keeps the job clock, the customer's address, specific equipment info, a photo of the house, and big, easy buttons to update job status all in one clean view so the tech can focus on the actual work.Screenshot of The "Good, Better, Best" Kitchen Table Estimate
This shows the full digital bidding screen you use when standing right in front of the customer. It copies a professional, multi-option paper estimate but does the math for you. The entire view is set up to lay out three different equipment options side-by-side with clear pricing, warranties, and system specs so the homeowner can look at their choices and sign off on the job right on the spot.Screenshot of The Link Between Field Timecards and Office Records
This view shows how field work instantly updates the office database with zero paperwork. The whole layout connects what the tech is doing on their phone, like clocking in, viewing their schedule, and driving to jobs, directly into the main office computer. It connects daily timecards, job histories, notes, and maintenance plans on a single screen so the office and the field are always on the same page.
