Project manager

Second thing is, there was a glitch where it always said “failed uploads” on you photos page even if there was no failed upload.

General Manager

We missed a crucial e-mail that resulted in a complaint on the BBB against our company and downgraded our rating - potentially costing us sales.

Sales Lead

They way they advertise what the program actually does and the reality that you have to pay for many other services to really get the most out of the program

PROJECT MANAGER

REPORTS, LACK OF REPORTING IN DETAIL TO TRACK ALL JOBS AND MAKE ACCESSMENTS

Salesperson

There are certain things that could be better with the email functions, such as CC and BCC'ing clients would be a nice option, rather than adding each email in one line because the customer doesn't know if anyone else is included on the email

Commercial Vice President

They offer contacts and jobs function.   If the jobs function is turned on, you should not be able to enter invoices, material orders, work orders, etc into a contact....

I also love the estimate builder, this is very straight forward and easy to use, edit, and share.

VERY EASY TO LEARN AND NAVIGATE BUT DISLIKED THE ABILITY TO RUN NEEDED REPORTS AND TRACKING FOR JOBS

Bookkeeper

Easy to use software with a lot of good features to help make the job easier.

Accounts Receivable Manager

Now we have multiple contacts for the same address, and each time it requires a unique identified since it can' be duplicated.  

Team Lead

like most contractors being able to go through all your customers, jobs, tasks, and other key things in this industry at the touch of a button.

Customers could have paired or sister accounts, if say they own more than one property, but we definitely, should be creating a "Job" under a contact.  

Owner

Wish there was a service option for when homeowners call for something on the project you completed that is covered under warranty.

Customer Service Manager

The scanning option is most helpful for any document I need to upload from anywhere.

Custom documents still require the use of knowing in depth HTML (without the use of CSS) or

sales

Users can access the platform while on the go thanks to JobNimbus' mobile app.

Office Manager 

It would be nice to be able to edit e-mails and see them before they are sent to the customer.

Finance Coordinator

We did switch to another program but only because we felt that JobNimbus was expensive in comparison to a program that had more capabilities.

Sometimes when transferring through tabs the program starts to glitch out.

I feel I have to get our head rep involved on tickets /conversations with specialists because the issue is going round and round.  

Operations Manageer

In comparison to other programs used for CRM, I may not have explored all that Job Nimbus has to offer, but it does seem to lack tools such as finance tracking, AR/AP and templates for docs, contract and orders.

President

Ownership and management of the company associated with the JobNimbus account does not matter.- [sensitive content hidden] , JobNimbus

We should be creating a single contact for each address.  

Tasks on a timeline/visibility for one assigning it.

Sales

Tasks and notes feature needs improvement

JobNimbus is much better than DateForma, but it isn't tailored to commercial roofing or for those organizations that have service and maintenance teams.

Honestly, have used it for a couple years but really just started diving in so I'm still learning all the small things.

Zapier is an essential integration, and as of the time of writing, JobNimbus does support it - just not with custom fields.

Sales Manager

Nothing flows easily if you don't have the team to properly onboard the software and manually enter information into each subset.

The ease of use, price and usefulness in keeping track of my jobs

Not great for tracking teams, service technicians or building estimates and quotes.

Operations Manager

From our clients, correspondence, scheduling of initial appointments, progress of job, and more.  

Planning and project control engineer

With JobNimbus, you will have an integrated system that contains all records and documents and eliminates the need to prepare and store many forms that are difficult to understand and find when needed.

Overall we have had a good experience with JobNimbus. While it  does not meet all of our needs as a whole for our company as a CRM, it is a fantastic platform for our estimation department.

Doesn’t take a super skilled computer programmer to operate

Senior Procurement Engineer - Facilities Management

With JobNimbus, the company will have an integrated system that contains all records and papers, eliminating the need for vast amounts of paper records and the hassle of archiving them, especially because organizations have many paper forms that require extensive checking and searching for.

With JobNimbus, all client records, data, and orders are safe, and preparing sales reports and tax records has become much easier.

They have not updated the core issues AT ALL!  

Site Civil Engineer

My main concerns are that I would want to see greater customization options in some areas, as well as upgrades to the mobile app so that we can do more processes with it.

Job Nimbus is probably the most customizable CRM for roofing companies.

Account  Manager

Many people have to touch every customer and it is rare that all Company people get to talk directly about the details of any given customer or project, but with a consistent way to consolidate all of the information, we as a Company are much more effective than we have been in the past.

After that, I simply direct them to the HELP videos so they can continue to expand their knowledge on the product.  

I expected that from a SAAS company. If we were a little bit larger with a better rollout, we would probably still use JobNimbus

All firms need JobNimbus to organize the process of providing their own documents, especially receipts and receipt vouchers.

Their software was written by third world countries (probably the same guy who wrote the Boeing airplane trim level software) If you write too many lines it will kick a blank second page out.

Difficult subscription cancellation

Tried the service for 30 days and wasn't a fit. When I reached out to cancel, they said it's been 31 days since I signed up and I'm locked in for a year. When a SaaS service fights to extract payment from unhappy customers, you've gotta wonder about the viability of their product.

With talking with other contractors and talking to people at network meetings about the new program/subscription (Almost $5,000 for the year) I had with Houzz and how I was not happy with any of the customers that came through, to where they were NEVER responding to emails, calls or messages through Houzz or any other ways either.
