FIELDBOSS vs. Simpro

Being
able to react to customers’ needs through real-time contact with our technicians
has improved our customer experience and increased operational efficiencies. Having
information at our fingertips, by using reporting and tracking allows us the visibility
we need to identify potential problems and find quick solutions, thereby preventing
or decreasing repeat visits and elevator downtime. We’ve increased workforce
productivity with technician mobile access, using automated flows in processing
multi-level tasks throughout the system, and our users having the ability to easily
create custom views and reports to fit their needs.

Simpro is well suited for job and team management, tracking inventory and the workflow is very logical. The mobile app for our field technicians works very well to clock on and off and then being in a position to report to a customer based on factual information has made invoicing a breeze! Reporting can be a bit frustrating especially on materials used on different cost centre numbers as you can only specify a job number, but not a cost centre number.

The
integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 is optimal for any company, as any user
that has used a Microsoft product finds the interface intuitive and allows them
to navigate the system with ease. Users are able customize views and reports that are easily share with colleagues throughout your organization

As mentioned before, materials reporting could use some work as one cannot report by cost centre number, only by job number. It makes it difficult with large jobs with multiple cost centre numbers to easily extract information for reporting. Other than that the system is user friendly and easy to understand.

It is a great option for solar project management. It needs some improvements for real-time one-page reports, inventory management, scheduling and custom views. I believe these will come because they listen to their customers. I would also like to see some better training and not be expected to pay out of pocket for it.

Motorcentral, a software that is part of Trade Me and helps car dealer to manage their stock. Based on my experience, simPRO has way more features and better customer service. Motorcentral doesn't have help to keep most tasks under one system, the only real advantage is that they integrate with the car dealer website so that the stock is always up to date.
