    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.

    For any route heavy organization, PestPac is a great choice due to the route optimization. It is great for businesses that are moving more online and into the digital space. For smaller organizations, you can make PestPac work but the complexity and training would be a barrier to entry. PestPac does more modular pricing so the cost can be affordable if you aren't needing many of the add-on features, but things can add up quick if looking to incorporate basic service functions when it comes to customer service.

    Cons
    Simpro Software
    • 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").

    Usability
    Simpro Software
    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.

    Due to the customizability of the software, the usability is not the easiest to pick up and especially train on. We find that office staff take the longest to train due to the steeper learning curve. It is not a plug and play and every company uses PestPac a little differently so sometimes it can be difficult to get support because what works for one organization may not work for another due to how they set up and use PestPac internally

    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.

    Ultimately we went with PestPac due to the reporting but also at the time other softwares had limits to API integration and that was something that was important to us with our business model. The route optimization tool in PestPac was also far better than anything else we had seen out there

    • WorkWave PestPac has certainly improved our time management by getting us off of paper scheduling. It allows us to map and easily move appointments which makes our techs more efficient
    • Having all documentation stored digitally and be locked to the correct account helps us stay compliant
