What is Plexus?

If you have a simple business, this is not the software for you. But if your service business is complex, has unique structure, or multiple lines of business, Plexus Software is your best choice. For 20+ years, many of our clients came from software not up to the challenge of making complicated businesses efficient and sustainable.

Built to cater to the needs of virtually any field service providing company, Plexus is a cloud-based business process and field management solution. Flexible and customizable enough to meet the needs of almost any service company. The software provides end-to-end features within a single centralized hub. Users can track sales opportunities and leads with CRM capabilities complete with forecasting tools based on the latest estimates and work orders. Automated estimating and scheduling tools provide real time capacity overviews, crucial to understanding staffing limits and communicating scheduling changes to employees. Their time and location out in the field can then be captured accurately via the mobile interface, calculating pay, collecting driver mileage and photographing receipts for expense documentation and submission.

Similarly, Plexus includes issue tracking and the leveraging of the smartphone camera to snap pictorial evidence of job site problems or areas of required work. These, combined with notes and punch lists can not only then be reviewed but also arranged into summaries using the built-in reporting options. Invoicing and billing capabilities allow for the progressive or collective invoicing of larger job orders while facilitating easy onsite signature and payment capture. Integration with QuickBooks goes on to ensure that wider accounting systems are updated with the latest financial data.

    Pros
    Having the quotes be the orders and having the material usage and even pictures of the installed product all on the same order is really nice. So just having so much on one software is great.
    This software has improved our systems throughout our business. We are extremely happy with Plexus and their team.
    I like the flexibility of adding certain selections to our quotes. I like the flexibility of Work Orders displaying what our team needs to see.
    Cons
    If you forget to click the drop down for where a product should be attached to you have to go in, delete it, search it again, add it. The specificity that is needed to look up information.
    I understand why its connected but its still frustrating sometimes.
    Our business went from entering data three to four times, with data often being lost, to entering data once.
