Rev.io PSA vs. Simpro

Tigerpaw Unleashed, according to Trust Radius is no longer being marketed. If it worked correctly, it has the potential to be great software for Enterprise level businesses. We chose the Unleashed version so that the technicians could use it in the field. It does take a lot of information to get the software up and running

Simpro is well suited for job and team management, tracking inventory and the workflow is very logical. The mobile app for our field technicians works very well to clock on and off and then being in a position to report to a customer based on factual information has made invoicing a breeze! Reporting can be a bit frustrating especially on materials used on different cost centre numbers as you can only specify a job number, but not a cost centre number.

• Billing: straight from a closed, complete job. Carries overall equipment, hours, takes one click to bill.
• simPRO retains notes on all emails; notes can be entered by anyone to track communication with clients.

• When training, during the overview of a chapter the examples tend to be from a prior version and do not reflect current software.
• In my experience when things don't work the way you think they should being told to go back and read the chapter that you read 5 times before is not helpful.
• I my experience when they know that there is an issue and the software is not working they keep billing you.
• They like to tell you that they are escalating the problem. You never see a resolution and they do not get back to you . You have to keep calling them.
• They acknowledge that you are having issues and state that there will be a credit. I have not seen one.
• In my opinion, training is filled with jargon and no glossary.

Incentivized

• Ability to create leave forms for the employees (to my best knowledge, this doesn't exist).
• Ability to color code jobs, quotes by criticality.
• Assign status to equipment (e.g. "ordered"; "arrived").

As mentioned before, materials reporting could use some work as one cannot report by cost centre number, only by job number. It makes it difficult with large jobs with multiple cost centre numbers to easily extract information for reporting. Other than that the system is user friendly and easy to understand.

It is a great option for solar project management. It needs some improvements for real-time one-page reports, inventory management, scheduling and custom views. I believe these will come because they listen to their customers. I would also like to see some better training and not be expected to pay out of pocket for it.

monday.com was easier to set up and you can create boards with loads of subtasks which helps manage a project. Also, the ability to integrate with google was much better as we could link it to the calendar and also store documents that the engineers could see easier onsite. Overall we could make monday.com work better for our business based on how we are set up but simPRO will be great for other businesses with more specific needs.
