    If you need a system to place and track sales quotes, sales orders, purchase orders, and service calls then E-Automate is perfect. However, if you want to be able to easily bulk upload customers and contracts or if you want to be able to quickly and easily track contract profitability, customer costs, etc, then you'll likely want/need a secondary or different system to do so.

    ServiceTitan seems to be incredibly customizable depending on what is needed, and therefore I would recommend it in any case where customers and jobs are recorded and scheduled. It can be used in a variety of ways and has multiple functions, including revenue and inventory tracking. Whether a big or small company, I feel with proper training anyone could utilize ServiceTitan very effectively to improve both productivity and record-keeping.

    Pros
    ECI Software Solutions
    • Sending Invoices out to customers via email or printing.
    • Keep track of ordering and inventory.
    • Sales Tax reporting.
    • Monitoring customer payment activity/setting up and removing credit holds.
    • Calculating payments to process each cycle.
    • Excellent aging reports.
    • I like the fact that when I am looking at one item, such as an invoice, I have the capability to switch to the customer menu rather than having to exit out of invoices and then enter into customers.
    • I love the flexibility of the search menus - being able to sort on several factors at once.

    • Real-time tracking. The biggest problem in logistics in, my opinion, is knowing if your products are arriving on time or not especially as it pertains to food, that was huge here.
    • Most of our managers travel constantly from corporate to distribution because of how centralized the company is they needed something flexible that allowed them to run reports whenever and however.
    • Ease of use - I'll be honest in that our employees are not the cream of the crop as it pertains to their education, this software made the learning process simple.

    Cons
    ECI Software Solutions
    • Make sales invoices not require serial numbers, or be more flexible with it.
    • Make contract invoices have some sort of flexibility in terms of editing. Our end users complain that QuickBooks made it very easy to edit invoices, and in e-automate, for them, it is practically impossible. (I do personally understand why it has to be as it is myself, I'm just forwarding their observation.)
    • Make the API actually useful. I spent days looking at the functions and the functions available are not really useful.

    • We'd like to be able to text estimates (currently, email is the only function)
    • We'd like to have audit trails on Customer and Location records (currently only at the job level)
    • We'd like to be able to email/text the customer multiple options within estimates, like the techs can do on their tablet, it's just not a function that can be presented by the office.

    Its really the only option for the industry that does enough of what we need for it to function . I'm not sure if there were better options out there if we would have to renew our subscription. With the addition of AI, hopefully something will be able to become more useful.

    I rarely run into any issues while using ServiceTitan other than the occasional scheduled maintenance. It is very intuitive and easy to learn, with many capabilities that can be suited to any job position in a business. The functions are consistent regardless of your department or use case, and can be easily customized to fit any and all of a company's needs.

    Reports are the struggle the most with the information being extracted in a way that you need to copy and paste it into a new document so some of the information is not covered

    Support Rating
    ECI Software Solutions
    Sometimes when you need answers quickly, a voice on the phone is far better than having to wait for email support or a callback. I have found this to have delays and feel ECI e-automate should invest more in its support infrastructure.

    E-automate is much better at understanding the needs of the office equipment industry and provide the necessary tools. SAP Business One has limited features specific to the office equipment industry and includes things that are not useful. E-automate is also priced much better and provides the best value for your investment.

    Return on Investment
    ECI Software Solutions
    • The e-automate will stop working if we stop paying each year. We chose not to go to the cloud and buy the software. QuickBooks and other software are a one-time fee.
    • E-automate has very few outside vendors for add-on modules.
    • The vendors that do have modules are costly.

    • We can more effectively retain customers and send them offers if it's been a while since their last visit.
    • Our cash flow has dramatically improved because now the technicians invoice everything.
    • We can get estimates out the door within the hour, not days later.
