Mhelpdesk is perfect for smaller companies and mid-sized companies I would say. Larger companies may need something a little more advanced for lack of better words or able to handle thousands upon thousands of constant work orders, etc. Smaller companies or companies that are mid-size would benefit from this program the most as it provides the necessary programming to succeed along with its ease of use.

If all of your data is entered 100% correctly (per WorkWave PestPac standards) and you only need basic functionality, then WorkWave PestPac is great. The more functionality you need, the more they charge (EVERY module is an additional per-user cost, which can get very expensive very quickly). If you are bringing your data from another system, then be prepared to have heartburn (or hire someone to go through and fix all the data). If data is not 100% accurate, then many features don't work as smoothly as you'd like.

Cons
  • I spoke about reporting, perhaps they can make this system a little better by integrating new ways to report, perhaps even several options .
  • The mobile app sometimes lags which can cause a few issues, nothing too major however.
  • Although the customer support provided by Mhelpdesk is relatively great, there have been times when things go unsolved or not taken care of within the amount of time needed.

When we first started using Mhelpdesk, RepairShopr was just a blip on our radar and didn't have the feature-set that Mhelpdesk did. RepairShopr looked great, but the Mhelpdesk had a lot more features. Every 6 months or so, I'd check on RepairShopr and it was growing fast and adding new features all the time. After a few years - the difference was night and day so we switched to RepairShopr and it's been a much better fit for our business.

Return on Investment
  • We are 6 months into it with a 50% rollout completed. We need more time to pass and full rollout to be completed before making a hard statement as to the ROI.
  • We have already seen greater efficiency in dispatching techs in regards to how many projects per day may be handled (we know of their downtime) and travel time mangement (by being able to map the locations and track them easier).
  • No negative impacts on ROI have yet to be seen nor are they projected.

  • WorkWave PestPac has certainly improved our time management by getting us off of paper scheduling. It allows us to map and easily move appointments which makes our techs more efficient
  • Having all documentation stored digitally and be locked to the correct account helps us stay compliant
