Pros and cons

I feel like this kind of thoughtfulness and customer service is unheard of now. This has taken great stress off me to know that it is in good hands with the PodiumIO team and that is so valuable.
The company and their staff are outstanding. Super responsive, very helpful and just overall great people to work with.
I'm confident that this software will bring me more business and will help me save a lot of time.
Not being able to give quotes with with basic pricing and not being able to track cleaners pay I wanted one system that could everything.
I would have said no color-coding in the calendar but they recently implemented that, so I’m not sure.
I haven’t worked with it long enough to know if there is something I don’t like.

Best all in one software for janitorial services.

Reviewed 2 years ago

My overall experience with PodiumIO had been wonderful from beginning to now! If I have questions, they are answered quickly, within minutes, and they are just a pleasure to work with! They have earned our business 100 percent!

Pros

The complete scheduling, smart calendar, customizable service/booking pages that are on the same level of quality as some of the biggest competitors in the market. I love that when a customer is requesting a quote or a booking, they are not taken to another companies website to compete the booking process, like House Call Pro. I feel these guys have a superior product compared to the competition, and they are just making it better. We are looking forward to starting our franchising of our company through using PodiumIO, and incorporating their software to all franchisees.

Cons

My least favorite thing, would be the mobile app, but I’m confident they will just make it better, and eventually will have much more abilities from the app.

Podium changed our cleaning company for the better!

Pros

I most love the recurring and also the per room pricing feature on our Podium booking system. It is affordable and updates are constantly being made.

Cons

The app feature is my least favorite feature. I just wish the app was more functional for the admin, the clients and employees.

Exceptional Support, Exceptional Product, Exceptional Functionality!

Reviewed 2 years ago

They are fluid & transparent from support all the way up to the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. And being a young company, you may very well get the opportunity to speak to the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].

Pros

It's easy to use once you've covered the help articles, which are extremely detailed and inclusive. You can create all kinds of customizations to make this software a glove fit for your company! If you want software that you can customize, this is it! It gives your clients the powerful ability to BOOK, SCHEDULE & PAY online, and that is almost a requirement in today's day and age. It even handles the invoicing for you!

Cons

They're a new company so they're still developing their products into their final stages. But because of that, they might incorporate an improvement you suggest! MY company is new too, so there's nothing wrong with that. They're still working on their phone app, but I never thought I'd have a phone app to begin with!

Must Get Software

Reviewed 2 years ago

I don’t have any complaints about the software . So happy I took the time to see what they offer.

Pros

If I gave you a list of pros I would run out of space. This software has been well thought out it gathers the information that you need the most to help your business grow. Customer service is amazing. I’m a dinosaur when it comes to computers. They have made custom videos just for me to guide me through the process of setting up the software.

Cons

No complaints at all. I recommend 100%. They are not cheap but you get more features and amazing customer service

Came for the scheduling... Stayed for the service!

Reviewed a year ago

My experience with PodiumIO has been top notch start to current. I initially joined PodiumIO for the scheduling function of a new branch of our business, Mobile Detailing. In my role I have dealt with several vendors and account managers over the years, some good and some bad. The PodiumIO team has made such a positive impact on our business and the customer service is unmatched. Our account manager...

Pros

PodiumIO has several great qualities but I would have to say what I like the most is the extra features. The reporting is fantastic and as easy as the click of a button. The retargeting/ marketing functions with the Hot Leads is my personal favorite. Being able to capture interested customers and then retarget them has helped generate more business that would have been lost otherwise.

Cons

Any "cons" that you could think of they immediately get to work on a resolution or function to solve it. You can tell that as a company they have really thought through the customer experience as well as the business operators side and made sure they provided all the needs and then some.

Why I use PodiumIO

Reviewed 3 years ago

This software really pays for itself, if you can get one recurring customer for one cleaning a month, the software has already paid itself off. That's just the ability to book online, not even considering the time it saves with administration tasks. I highly recommend it.

Pros

I wish I could give PodiumIO more than 5 stars! I use this product every day to run my cleaning business. It’s truly an end-to-end solution for home service businesses: I got a professional website live and hosted in a couple of days. It’s complete with personalized pricing & booking pages with an integrated calendar, so my customers can now schedule in real-time. Also, I can now process call-ins in...

When I use it on my phone I find the calendar to be a bit tight. Though I know they’re working to make it easier to use.

I find it very easy to use and all the features are ones that you use everyday and not just filling up the page. The customer service is great and the response time is incredible, it's very fast and very knowledgeable. It's always the people that that know me and have helped me in the past.

Cons

The increase in pricing is disappointing.

Hello Kenneth, thank you for the great review and we really appreciate your business. As regards the recent slight price increase, we hear you. Just so you know, our prices had never once been increased over the previous 4 years. Regrettably, the current 2023 economics, inflation and the demand in labor has caused all our costs to rise significantly much higher than the small increase we introduced....

Amazing experience so far! The team keeps launching new features that continue to impress me, my cleaners, and my customers. I’m really looking forward to seeing what will happen next! If you’re in the home service industry you should definitely connect with them! "

Versatility and Full Service! PodiumIO has completely harmonized my cleaning business and given me a structure to build around. I built my lovely website (which they host), their customizable booking pages are the best I’ve seen, and I use the calendar/software every day! Essentially my customers can find me online, book and pay online, and then get scheduled (even auto dispatched) right inside PodiumIO....

PodiumIO is the best scheduling and CRM software out there

Reviewed a year ago

PodiumIO as our primary platform has been a great success for our company, to the point where we no longer have to worry about software and tools limiting us and can now concentrate on our core business. What sets PodiumIO apart is its simplicity, robustness, and customer service!

Pros

The product is really easy to use and set up. Customers find it easy to navigate. Complete software to run your business. Customer support.

Cons

The system doesn't have promo codes for our clients.

The Team at PodiumIO is happy to see you are loving your experience. We are looking forward to watching your business grow. Leo, regarding your comment on promo codes, let's connect via a LIVE Tutorial and we can share with you some really innovative ways to manage and offer promotions. Given you can create unlimited Live Pricing & Real-Time Booking pages, with PodiumIO you can create really unique ways to offer and process promotions which, unlike promo codes used for prospecting, will not have a negative impact on your existing customers and will only be seen by the audience you target. More importantly, for online buyers, when using traditional promo codes, it often causes them to go searching for promo codes thus distracting them from completing their purchase.

PodiumIO

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall: PodiumIO is way better than alternative marketplace options which don’t allow you to control your business and take percentages out of your margins. With PodiumIO I know my company is mine! I would highly recommend this software to anyone running a home service business. "

Pros

Today, I run a cleaning company in 3 cities across the US and Canada (San Fransisco, Edmonton, & Calgary). PodiumIO was the tool my business needed to expand. Their all-in-1 software has given my business a simple and sophisticated tool to keep everything consistent, convenient, and fast. My cleaners always know where and when to be, and what to do. My customers always know how to book and when they’re scheduled. Potential customers have an easy way to find me online and book their appointment! Meanwhile, I know and control everything! I simply wouldn't be able to run my business without this software!

For now, Can’t think of any. Thanks a lot.

These Guys have built an awesome platform. It works as it should and the service is TOP NOTCH. They are always there and I have a lot of questions and I am trying to get everything out of it and they are always happy to help me. On the software side they guys have built an awesome machine that is easy to use, it works for you. I have a multi service cleaning company and people start out with a $110 cleaning and by the time they finish they added on another $350 in ad ons, before I would have given them a flat bid and maybe come in to high but now on my site they can decide what the budget is and most people buy add ons.

Cons

No integration for quickbooks, No coupon options, but hopefully they are coming soon . It wouldnt make me not buy it, It has awesome options and its affordable, it pays for itself in add ons.

excellent customer service and very quick at responding to my inquiry's. They continue to help me, started from the initial set up and they continue to assist me with my questions. Just awesome people.

Pros

I like every feature with this software. I know they are working on other things that are not yet available, but everything on here pays for itself. I recommend this system to anyone. They even did a website for me that is the best I've had and it is very clean and simple to look through.

the only thing, which again, they are working on other things, is the email marketing campaigns. This software DOES email reminders to current customers which is great. Other than this, I have nothing bad to say about this.
