Pros

“My overall experience with ServiceTrade has been positive because it brings scheduling, dispatching, work orders, customer communication, and reporting into one platform, which makes field operations much easier to manage.”

Naman K.

Solution engineer

“The mobile accessibility and detailed job tracking also make operations more efficient and easier to manage.”

Naman K.

Solution engineer

“This is an excellent tool that can keep a database of customers information for scheduling, job history and billing purposes.”

Jeremy V.

Field Supervisor of Inspections

Pros

“The payments section is clear and easily useable by seeing all invoices for one customer and to keep track of the payment if a payment agreement is done with a customer. When we sent Live with BuildOps, it took me only a week to learn how to use it!”

Genevieve D.

Business Analyst

“From an administrative standpoint, it allows us to limit visibility and access appropriately across departments, which is important for financial and operational data integrity.”

Jennifer H.

Service Billing Administrator

“The ability to generate, proof, and distribute invoices efficiently has significantly improved our billing workflow.”

Jennifer H.

Service Billing Administrator

Cons

“My experience has been mediocre at best, I wouldn't go on ServiceTrade if I knew what I did now, but at this point it is difficult to switch.”

Ronin R.

IT Manager

“While this application makes dispatching and scheduling so much easier, it is lacking in almost every other area that makes a business run and does not make the integration process easy, so we find ourselves using multiple different apps when we'd prefer to just use ServiceTrade as our primary for everything including accounting and billing.”

Janea T.

Data Analyst

“The Kitchen suppression form has no comment box. If something fails you have to enter a deficiency.”

Andrew B.

VP of Life Safety

Cons

“Not being able to delete incorrect info, it has to be archived "in a sense" but that fills BuildOps with too much data”

Jeannette H.

Accounting

“Right now the Forms function is buggy and not working for complex forms, I have a case with the engineering department at Bops, now.”

Ben K.

Service Manager

“BuildOps, could be a little more user friendly when inputting assets into the program, there is too much going back and forth and nothing that gives you an opportunity to copy.”

Patrick S.

Maintenance Manager
