    Pros
    It also makes keeping up with our maintenance agreements much easier. The customer service is outstanding & luckily for me they are very patient.
    Extremely user friendly, fast and reliable, customer care is attentive and extremely helpful, we can't say enough good things about it.
    The software is great for what we need it for and the customer support is next to none. We are very pleased with smart service.
    Cons
    At the time, we had already signed up for a competitors software package, but I was unhappy with it's difficulty of use and lack of some features.
    My customer service experience with them was horrible. Our QuickBooks data is also corrupt from the information from Smart Service not transferring correctly.
    I have spoken to several other scheduling software companies and they are appalled by this tactic.

    ACI Smart Service Review 09-21-2016

    Reviewed 7 years ago

    We have been using Smart Service with the IFleet portion for our technicians in the field for about 4 years now. Overall it is a very good system.

    Pros

    The ease of entering customers, service tickets, time keeping and the GPS tracking are great benefits of this system. For the most part our technicians have been easily trained on the process and it has cut down on a lot of their processing time in the field.

    Cons

    We have used the "Get Customer" or "Sync Customer" functions many times and since some of our office employees enter data directly into QuickBooks, we've lost a lot of email address and contact information on our customers. This information is critical to our database and it's very frustrating to try to rebuild. We have several labor descriptions for our business and the work tickets can be set...

    Experience about what not to buy

    Pros

    job entry is ok. The ability to drop & drag jobs between technicians is nice. Ifleet program worked ok

    Cons

    When we purchased this software I purchased the dispatching add on called Ifleet for my field technicians. I was told and I quote "Ifleet purchase option _ iphone/ipad smart service add-on with no set up fees or ongoing monthly charges for service or support. That is off of my sales contract.

    Smart Service for HVAC-R Application

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    The scheduling is very simple and the different views (time stamp, location, etc) are helpful in keeping track of our technicians and communicating to customers. The time stamped notes are invaluable and help us to maintain a professional operation. The bookkeeping has been mainstreamed and our techs can now process credit/debit card transactions on-site which keeps collections down.

    Pros

    I appreciate the ability to create different locations under one customer name. We have Home Warranty companies that we contract with and we can neatly arrange their locations and jobs for ease of access. The ability to upload and store images of customers equipment has been invaluable for insurance claims and warranty coverage and keeping track of model and serial numbers. Being able to send emails and texts from within the program saves time and the message!

    Cons

    Preparing reports that are specific to your needs. I have struggled with preparing a report that clearly shows what items we have sold and how many of them in a year. The screen flickers almost all the time when using Smart Service.

    Great program, excellent customer service

    Reviewed 6 years ago

    Linking it to our accounting program allows us to not have to log in customer information twice. Our old program we had to create a customer in the pest control program and then use that information to create them again in our accounting program. I like that we can post the work order and it automatically shows up in our QuickBooks.

    Pros

    How easy it is to navigate through the work orders and customers. I like that you can post multiple invoices at one time if needed, or even skip multiple invoices at one time, simply by checking a box and then posting the first. I like that it connects so easily with our QuickBooks program.

    Cons

    I wish it would automatically reset a customer's price information for the following month. We have to change the amount of rooms serviced each month in various hotels. Our previous program would set the amount of rooms back to the base amount of rooms, but this program leaves it at the amount you post each month, so the following month it will show the amount of rooms and price from the previous month. Sometimes our customers get confused.
