Tracking work orders, scheduling, quoting, billing, collecting, and client data, most of the time, when it works. Plumbing and HVAC service company.
- I think it's better than it used to be.
Cons
- For us, sometimes doesn't save the data, just gone, especially terrible if you have a data interruption since it has zero offline capability.
- I think the price is way high now, made the mistake of 'upgrading' and cannot go back.
- In my experience, way too easy to create a duplicate entry of anything, then near impossible to clean up, unless you notice it immediately.
- I found no merge functionality. Same client has two entries? Too bad.
- In my experience, does not work with Xero accounting software, took a long time to figure that out especially since they advertise it and that was why we chose both of them, for the supposed integration. For us, Quickbooks was also a pain.
- In my experience, the app is unusable, must use the web version on a mobile device.
- In my experience, the integrated payment processing cannot accept debit in Canada, only credit cards.
- Quoting
- Collecting
- Tracking
- Scheduling
- In my experience, it caused a lot of frustration from the inability to process a payment when network access is weak, and then may process many times.
- I think it requires a lot of effort by the users.
- I found it to be frustrating for tech challenged employees.
We will be switching to something else soon after careful consideration.

In my opinion, tech savvy and a lot of experience using it already, and even then it can be frustrating.

- I was able to unexpectedly create a nightmare of unfinished items and open orders.
Yes
Some free Google products, and I wish we hadn't.
- Cloud Solutions
- Scalability
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
Was supposed to be easy to use.
I will be much more careful and test, test, test. I will not trust the sales promises and the marketing information on their website!
Yes
No, but they have improved over the years and added features.
Absolutely not.
- I think quoting is ok.
- I think converting from a quote to a job is also ok.
- In my experience, if something doesn't load properly, which can easily happen, you might end up with a bunch of duplicates!
- In my experience, if you don't immediately realize that a client already has an entry in the system, you can end up with a big unfixable mess in no time flat!
Yes
I think it's terrible.
