ServiceTitan vs. Verizon Connect

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.

For overall fleet management, maintenance scheduling, employee tracking and equipment tracking this service seems like it is an all in one package that hit all the check boxes my firm needed.

The issue is lack of hardware and software updates and support, and what appears to be an over taxed cell network that is not allowing any of these devices to work correctly.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Transit temperature monitoring - Verizon Connect allows us to fill in previously missing temperature information for food products in transit.
• Vehicle location monitoring - While not our primary goal, we are able to use Verizon Connect to see if any of our vehicles has stopped for an excessive amount of time. This helps us ensure safety of our vehicle drivers.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Contractor install is very cumbersome, inconvenient, and causes downtime.
• Tracking had lots of unexplained glitches, thousands of miles added and lost to various trucks out of nowhere.
• Customer Service is quick to "open a case" on any issues, but lacks follow-up and solutions.
• Lots of problems are "sent to development."

Verizon Connect has great customer service. Our account manager has always replied quickly to any inquiries of mine and has been very knowledgeable and reliable. Drivers who've occasionally needed to call into the customer service helpline have quickly had their questions answered and problems resolved. All reports I've received from them about their experiences have been positive, stating that the Verizon Connect employees have been courteous and helpful, resolving their issue quickly and efficiently.

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.

Verizon is more precise with GPS, but the easy installation and quick onboarding make Motive the winner. Verizon connect has better accuracy and less chance of removal, but the interface set up take away from its ease of use. Motive is easily installed and can be transferred between vehicles that Verizon connect cannot.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Costly compared to other GPS programs.
• Tied to long term contracts. Representatives do not know how to cancel service.
• Must wait until the end of the contract to request cancellation. If you miss date, you are tied to another 3 years.
