Managing Director

I felt completely alone trying to run the company whilst my staff seemingly failed at nearly every task from finance to engineering, all complaing about job watch, I brought this to senior management attation late December when our entire Databse wwas accidently corrpted during a routine upload?

Operational disruptions from bugs

Office Manager

I understand there are a large number of business types all wanting different operating functionality and all experiencing different issues but the time taken to solve some of our issues has been way too long.

Operations Director

Inability to work off line, we have suffered a few server issues with BigChange themselves and when the system goes down we loose access to ALL information and date, pitfall of using a system with such reliance in so many areas of the business

42% of reviewers feel negative about Bugs and Issues. Some users report experiencing glitches that disrupt daily processes, such as unreliable email delivery, confusing navigation, and occasional system outages that temporarily halt access to information. They mention frustration with slow resolution times for ongoing problems and find workarounds for features that do not function as expected. Reviewers also highlight difficulties with managing subcontractors, duplicate job numbers, and limitations in mapping and reporting, which can complicate operations and require additional manual intervention.

Streamlined business operations

It made our lives a whole lot easier and freed up a lot of time which allowed us to concentrate on certain areas of the business that had been neglected.

IT Project Coordinator

Being a big change user for 5 years now its been an incredible tool to help us maximise profits and improve efficiency.

88% of reviewers feel positive about Efficiency Improvement. Users report that the software has significantly increased productivity and reduced manual workloads, freeing up time to focus on neglected business areas.

They appreciate the regular updates aimed at further enhancing efficiency and the ability to quickly adapt workflows as their business evolves.

Collaborative team management tools

Associate software engineer

It solves our some biggest pain points for us it helped us manage our team and get better tracking system.

Commercial Director 

We feel as a business our opinion is heard and it matters, brining forwards ideas as a team is really the vibe we get

Sales Operations Anaylst

Big Change enables us to mange 80% of our day to day work in one place, from quoting, running jobs and chasing parts with suppliers as well as integrating slightly with Xero.

Operations Manager

The overall experience has been great and has made life easier for us in many ways, we have been able to correct many issues through tracking jobs in a better way and look internally at our processes in a better way which helps us long term as well - we have noticed a huge positive change in the last year and are constantly improving on  our processes with finctions  job watch has to offer, and implementing them.

Transport Manager

Our overall experience is good and we are using the mobile app more for the drivers timesheets, expenses and vehicle checks which saves time and paperwork.along with the tracking of the vehicles it's a good and easy system to use and has a lot to offer.any issues are dealt with by your staff quickly and the help and communication is good.

Chief Operating Officer

The biggest selling point for Big Change was the flexibility and modularity of being able to create our own Worksheets for what is a very unique business, with ePod requirements that aren't accommodated for in the majority of ePod systems.

The customizable aspects also make the job management side feel more unique to our own needs and allow us to adapt it on the fly rather than trying to work out how to make a system work for us.

Office Manager 

Feedback to them is so important as they are constantly develop the system. When I started the office was full of sticky notes with staff reminders & messages, we had several different systems, a lot of tasks were done manually i.e. engineers job sheets.

Buyer

The feature i least like the most about BigChange would be the stockig aspect, As a buyer and from a procurement sector, there is lack of detail and can be rather difficult to accurately manage stock levels currently.

Director

It's allowed us to completely remove paper meaning we are far more efficient and effective in scheduling in work and optimising our technicians days.

Insurance Manager

Prior to the implementation of BigChange we had a scheduling programme, a CRM, a vehicle tracking system and an invoicing software.

CRM & Data Delivery Manager

As a company being able to send digital certs to clients through the automatic sending feature has save us many hours of admin labour.  

Head of Relations

For example, many of your personnel’s information is needed to the point that the system becomes a natural HR hub or platform, but permissions are either too much or too little to keep this information withheld enough from other staff in some cases.

Operations Support Supervisor

We have always wanted an asset management system, but have never found a solution that would work with our custom job reports, and record trends.

The user interface is quite clunky and old looking, it could do with an update as it isn't overly intuitive making it harder for new staff in the office to learn.

OOH Scheduler

Feature rich product with heavy customisation available which can make the product truly unique to each company.

We've combined multiple systems and business processes all into one place, and it's leading to everyone working together in a more integrated manner.

Now we just have one system that everything is done on  and the system does most of the work for us from reminding to producing professional documents  

Head of Field Operations

I find the live elements and customer history really useful, along with tracking, costing etc and I know we would use it more!

Customer Service Manager

It would be helpful to be able to amend worksheets/templates within the job admin as can be confusing to find in the administration settings.

Big change is used in our business within every department, starting from an initial enquiry right to through to after care service.

The monthly invoices is a massive issue, it shouldn't be such a long winded process to submit our monthly invoices.

We have been able to move away from paper certs, using a third party tracking system, invoice more precisely.

Office manager 

Again taking the time and man power out of the invoicing, meaning we can invoice out more frequently with ease which is improving the cash flow for our business. Since using Big Change we have achieved a more stream line process for job management, financials and starting to achieve more stock control with in the company.

The stock and inventory section could do with some tweets to make this area be more flexible to fit the needs of different customers. And stock control needs improving, not letting you go into minus numbersThe search facility- it doesn't actually 'search anything' as it says!Not having access to view our Big Change invoices for use of the software online all in one place.

Operations Manager 

Stock module needs rethinking of our industry and how we manage stock throughout the business.

We are only a couple of weeks into using BigChange but found the Sales team to be refreshingly honest about its  capabilities (and they brought donuts) and the onboarding process has been incredibly in depth.

New Business Director

A lot of work has to go into setting the system up and importing information, but i guess this goes for any CRM.

I like the simplicity of the design, almost everything is available to export data and can be a very useful asset to the workplace

Surveyor

We manage 7000 properties for our main customer and managing this could be better.

The access from anywhere is a large part of this business - to be able to view and adjust 24/7.  

Business Development Manager

Not only does it keep all aspects of the business in one place from initial inquiry, quotation, booking and then through to attendance and invoicing it does so relatively easily and when there are issues thee team are on hand to help.

Sales Coordinator

It has so many options, alerts, flags, notes, noteflags and reporting facilities it takes a while to try them all.  

I liked the suggestions portal and the feeling that improvements were being made based on our requirements (it's a shame that this no longer exists).

As with many comprehensive packages they didn’t start out that way meaning they have grown arms and legs as time has gone by.

HSEQ Co-ordinator

Helps us become more efficient as all the information we need for our jobs is all in one place.
