would recommend this appPros
It integrates seamlessly to Xero which has made it very simple to implement. We like the ability to track staff when required and the fact that it has a full health and safety component also.
Its simple to use and easily helps all of my staff to achieve their daily goals. Fergus has helped to systematise our work flow to ensure the best benefits for our staff and our clients.
Fergus have been very helpful. The support team are easy to get a hold off and are very good to deal with.
Pros
Price and quality great for it's functionalities, and looking forward to continued use in the future. Can use a few technical detail tuning, but overall great performance thus far.
Customer service has been eager to help, where they can. I like the overall feel of the system with a few exceptions here and there, however implementation on our end has been slow.
The software is great to use and very user friendly, however for our company, the relationship is more important.
Cons
Email platform being used ends up in spam too much by clients, told by Fergus that this is because the platform used by Fergus is the same as many spammer's.
The inability to customise a health and safety form for staff to access on site and link to the client file. The inability to attach any general files/photos to the client rather than a specific job.
Very hard to delete or void a mistake (new business so still learning).
Cons
In some areas there are connection issues with no or limited internet/phone signals. This is an issue when uploading and even some data as been lost.
Other systems we have used were so complicated staff members would just send emails or texts to the maintenance team which just get lost in the chaos.
It is even worse on mobile because it will let a person type a comment only to pop up a flag saying this is not allowed when pressing "Send. There have been a few frustrated users at this point.
