Likelihood to Recommend The Marchex platform is suitable for you to draw conclusions on how to approach your users. It also helps you with conversational improvements and data analysis. I recommend if you already have a large user base who buy your service and are always asking for explanations to hire Marchex for sure
Read full review Well suited for larger companies, and companies that can take advantage of numerous features like dispatching, inventory, etc. Smaller shops may not find ServiceTitan as helpful or at least potentially complicated for a scaled back operation. It doesn't have accounting software, so make sure you have QuickBooks or something similar.
Read full review Pros Marchex does exactly what you need it to do. It allows businesses to quickly and effectively create online and offline call-tracking numbers to measure marketing performance. Marchex offers a variety of additional options, features, and capabilities outside of their core business model, which is call tracking. These business offerings appeal to smaller businesses, since they are primarily an enterprise-level call-tracking platform. Marchex allows you to listen and mark phone calls based on whether or not they lead to a conversion, if you business has the time to manage this process, it is an effective way to determine which source/mediums are providing the highest inside-conversion rate. Read full review Real-time tracking. The biggest problem in logistics in, my opinion, is knowing if your products are arriving on time or not especially as it pertains to food, that was huge here. Most of our managers travel constantly from corporate to distribution because of how centralized the company is they needed something flexible that allowed them to run reports whenever and however. Ease of use - I'll be honest in that our employees are not the cream of the crop as it pertains to their education, this software made the learning process simple. Read full review Cons Although customer support is only a phone call away, trouble shooting was not their strongest area. There was usually only one person who could help with technical support and getting past the gate keepers to talk to that person was not easy. Salesmen were difficult to get in touch with. You think it would be easy to negotiate a contract to add more services but this proved to be a difficult task as well. Online reporting could use improvement. If you wanted to sift through data you had to download a spreadsheet to manipulate the data. Very little beyond simple reporting could be accomplished on their platform. Read full review We'd like to be able to text estimates (currently, email is the only function) We'd like to have audit trails on Customer and Location records (currently only at the job level) We'd like to be able to email/text the customer multiple options within estimates, like the techs can do on their tablet, it's just not a function that can be presented by the office.

It's woven into a few of our products that we offer our clients so we wouldn't stop using it any time soon. The clients are big fans of it
Read full review Alternatives Considered I love how easy it is to listen to calls, filter and export reports for clients. Super happy with the services that are provided for me!
Read full review No comparisons. Everyone tries to emulate Service Titan. Service Titan has had the best support. Service Titan also seems like they have a better development team to build out their product and listen to client feedback. Where that's helpful is that they're constantly pushing the envelope of what's possible with enhancing client experience and streamlining operations for a business owner.
Read full review Return on Investment Quick and easy distribution of phone numbers with city specific area codes Easy to set up after business hours and alternative forwarding numbers It has been very helpful in showing clients how their staff answers the phone and where there is opportunity for more training Read full review We can more effectively retain customers and send them offers if it's been a while since their last visit. Our cash flow has dramatically improved because now the technicians invoice everything. We can get estimates out the door within the hour, not days later. Read full review ScreenShots
