I think most of the reasoning was just provided on the previous pros and cons questions. On-Screen Takeoff (OST) is well suited for doing either quick takeoffs or getting into an elaborate, detailed takeoff. All though the viewing tools are quick and easy, I would still very much prefer using BlueBeam for looking through an overall set of drawings. With all of the hyperlink and bookmark functions of BlueBeam, OST doesn't compare and I rarely use OST unless I'm actually doing a takeoff.

Scenarios Where Workiz is Well Suited: Workiz works well for businesses that need visual scheduling, conflict management, and dispatching with filtering based on service areas and skills. For example, if a company manages multiple jobs daily and needs to assign the right worker based on their expertise and location, Workiz makes this process quick and efficient. Scenarios Where Workiz is Less Appropriate: If your business requires deep customization, Workiz may have limitations. For instance, if you need highly specific charge types without duplicating services or if you want to create complex team structures beyond the existing dispatch board, Workiz might not provide enough flexibility.
The biggest thing for me is that it is so easy to use, which allows it to be used widely throughout our organization without a lot of intense training.
Another great thing is that it does not matter how big or little the scope of the take off may be, it works just as well for a whole 12 story building take off as it does for a stretch of sidewalk.

Workiz makes it easy to see all scheduled jobs at a glance. For example, we can quickly drag and drop assignments on the calendar, making rescheduling simple when changes come up.
If two jobs are accidentally scheduled for the same time and worker, Workiz alerts us immediately. This prevents double bookings and ensures smooth operations.
We can filter workers by service areas and skills. For example, if we need a technician with a specific certification in a certain zone, we can find and assign them instantly.

Currently, we have to create duplicate services just to distinguish between different charge types. This adds unnecessary work and makes managing services more time-consuming. It would be much more efficient to allow multiple charge types within the same service.
While the dispatch board allows filtering by service areas and skills, it would be helpful to have a dedicated section for organizing teams. A feature that lets us group workers by zones, skills, and availability in one place would make scheduling and dispatching even smoother.
Manually entering service areas can be tedious. It would be great to have a feature where we could input an array of zip codes, and Workiz would automatically create the corresponding service areas. This would save time and reduce errors.
It provides invaluable communication, organization, and flexibility to generate a project overview both visually and by the numbers. In addition to the overview it makes getting into the project details easy and quick, so our takeoff is accurate and correct every time

On Screen Takeoff is a valuable tool for what it does. Across the board it can keep track of the critical data and corresponding values without extra legwork. While powerful, it is prone to user error, and the problem can compound quickly if not realized up front. Overall a great project tool, but not without limitations

I rated Workiz 10/10 for usability because it’s intuitive and easy to navigate. The drag-and-drop scheduling, automated workflows, and dispatch board simplify daily tasks. Even while still implementing it, our team adapted quickly, showing how user-friendly it is. Features are well-organized, reducing the learning curve for new users. Overall, Workiz makes scheduling, dispatching, and managing jobs much more efficient.
I have had very few issues with the software which is probably the first sign that there is a good customer support team, since I am sure they are working and fixing problems for everyone when they get a report from somewhere. The few times I have had to reach out to support they have been knowledgeable and on top of helping me quickly get my issues resolved.

Implementation was as simple as setting up the program and creating databases. Everything else was already in use and this was a supplement to the final organization of the system

Being able to train individuals in a single afternoon on the program and trusting them to get you something usable as soon as possible is quite invaluable. It is also something that I feel is unique to this program. It is just easier.

Compared to Odoo, Workiz is much easier to use, with a more intuitive interface that requires little training. Odoo offers deep customization but has a steeper learning curve and requires technical expertise to configure. Against Service WorkWave, Workiz stands out for its modern UI and clear feature set. While WorkWave has strong scheduling tools, Workiz offers more flexibility with dispatching and automation. We chose Workiz because it delivers on the features promised, has an easy-to-use system, and is actively improving, especially with upcoming AI integrations.
The software has more than paid for itself because the company has been able to save lots of money when awarding to subs since it is easy to verify quantities to qualify their bids.
Less of a chance of under-ordering products since the visible audit trail improves accuracy. Also you spend less since you aren't ordering more than you should be.

Since we’re still implementing Workiz, it’s hard to measure the exact ROI yet. However, automations are already reducing manual work for both admin and field users. This translates to saved labor hours, which ultimately means cost savings.
Increased Website Conversions:
The online booking tool makes it easier for customers to schedule services directly from our website. This will help increase our website conversion rate, leading to more booked jobs without additional effort from our team.
Lower Upfront Costs:
Unlike some other platforms that require large upfront payments or long-term contracts, Workiz has helped us save money by allowing us to pay as we go instead of committing to expensive multi-year licenses.
