Workiz

Great product if you own a cleaning service!

Commenti: My over all experience with this software for daily dispatching of jobs and also invoicing has been good.

Aspetti positivi:

I like that any of my workers can send an "On My Way" text message to the customer all thru the Mobile App.

Aspetti negativi:

The fact that it only shows a "Tech Confirmation" for only one tech per job, even though your able to add additional techs to the job.

3 years with Workiz and then this….

Commenti: My overall experience with Workiz. Three years of use and it took me three years to write a review that they deserved a long long time ago. It’s nice to know that three years down the road I still have nothing but nice things to say about Workiz and the great people that work at Workiz.
It was a recent interaction with Workiz that was just over the top amazing when I thought I had already been amazed by them. I wish I knew the person I spoke with name but I don’t but they deserve s as huge shout out and Thank you from FUN FIX USA

Aspetti positivi:

We have been using Workiz for three years of our business after trying all the other ones for a brief time. We’re keys at the time had everything we needed plus they had more and when I say more it was a huge thing for us and that was the ability to have our phone ran through them. So they have a whole phone system that you can customize with different phone numbers and different answering options like virtual receptionist etc. and then when the client calls or the customer calls it will either pull up an existing customer that’s been input with that phone number or any other relevant information that it has. It didn’t make scheduling real easy when you just add a new job for the number that just called you. I don’t think I have found another company that offered the phone with the software and in addition the software really really exceeds all of our needs and I’m sure we’re not even using a third of its capabilities. And then the customer support. In three years I can only say I’ve probably had to talk to them 5 to 7 times total. Normally, it’s not even a call, I just go to the chat bot thing on their website and then someone is always right there in general they will pick up the phone and call me right away to assist in anyway that they can. It is weird because I don’t know how big Workiz as a company is but it feels like I may be one of 10 customers and they might have four or five employees. It feels very small almost like a family. I Would highly recommend EVERYONE!

Aspetti negativi:

The one thing I like least about the software which is actually a huge factor and has really kind of been left weighing our options but they offer customer self scheduling where you can put a link in your website to allow the customer to contact you and schedule service which is great but you can’t charge the customer from there. So each customer I then have toReach out to so that I can charge them so it’s kind of double stepping in makes more work and I’m hoping they change it because every other company out there I’m finding does offer that ability. If a customer wants a service call is $128 and they want to schedule it online and pay for it because they won’t be there at the time of service well then it doesn’t allow them to do that. They can tell us they want it but then we have to turn around and call them back and it makes a one step conversation now a multiple step conversation. Come on Workiz

Horrid, Lies

Commenti: Horrible, lies, and deceiving!
I signed up with this company for the "Lite" version as a business phone number when I'm just starting out, worked for about 2 weeks, & then got complaints of calls not going through to only be told that phone calls aren't part of the lite version. Tried getting me to buy their product as they can't offer it in the lite version. Over 500 business cards printed with the phone # to be given the run around & it's a "human error"

Aspetti positivi:

Worked while it lasted Ok quality Can't say much more

Aspetti negativi:

Horrible customer service Not transparent

Changed from Quickbooks to Workiz - Best Decision Ever!

Commenti: Overall it's been great, some learning curves but even my guys will contact support if they need help which in this day and age where everybody is spoon fed that it awesome. I will continue to use this software for the foreseeable future.

Aspetti positivi:

We use the system with our Call Center and it's amazing, the staff was trained within a day for being able to use the needed features and they've been working the rest when they have the time. Excellent time based scheduling, EXCELLENT customer notifications and awareness for the clients which is way more than I expected.

Aspetti negativi:

The only con I had/have is that for CDN companies it's expensive and was almost the one issue in which we didn't go this route. I did manage to work with one of the guys and figured out how to best get what I wanted to start and then to be able to grow. With his input we would have gone another route and I'm really glad we didn't. Bar none the best software I've used to date in my company.

WorkIz is a game changer!

Commenti: After testing out a few other client/job platforms, WorkIz turned out to be head and shoulders above the rest. The customer service people are super-responsive to input, are easy to reach, and take care of their clients. Highly recommend!!

Aspetti positivi:

Being able to have client/job information at our fingertips has transformed how our business is able to function. Before Workiz, job & client information, as well as job scheduling, was a manual process. With WorkIz, every one on our staff, from people in the office to staff out in the field, is able to access job & client information from their phones or laptops. Sending estimates to clients has enabled us to add photos and other information with our quotes. This has really set us apart from our competitors. Online payment capability is a real plus, as some clients don't feel comfortable sharing their credit card information.

Aspetti negativi:

Search feature isn't as good as I'd like, but still better than the manual system we had prior to WorkIz. I wish there were a more streamlined process for setting up one account for repeat clients with multiple jobs. WorkIz has improved this somewhat in the past year, and I hope they will continue to do so. Would LOVE to be able to enter more than one email address on the main client page.

Don’t bother workiz is a bad product and they are scammers

Commenti: Don’t go with Workiz they are a bunch of scammers. We used it for about 8 months but it was really buggy and for a plumbing company it didn’t have the capability to do what we needed. We weren’t receiving text messages on the free system and we already started getting angry customers so we decided to not go ahead with the paid phone system as we didn’t trust it would work well enough. They proceeded to charge us for it for 6 months and flat out refused to refund us for a service we asked them not to provide and didn’t receive. The customer service is terrible. We would just get completely ignored and still are 6 months later. They said they could only issue a credit but since we cancelled Workiz all together we can’t use the credit so it’s tough luck. Why do we have to pay for their error? We clearly cancelled it and I have shown them the screenshots of all the communication but we are continuing to be ignored. Don’t bother wasting your time with these scammers. Use Housecall Pro instead it’s so much better!

Aspetti positivi:

The only good thing about Workiz is it was so bad that we cancelled it and now have a really great system to use. Housecall Pro is so much better!

Aspetti negativi:

•Couldn’t search by unit number meaning we had to click through each unit in a building or complex to find what we needed. •The accounting made our lives so much more difficult was a complete joke.•Text message system didn’t work. Communication would get lost causing unhappy customers •Mobile app was extremely buggy, barely useable• Very complicated to have ongoing jobs that you return to with multiple technicians. Needed to create tasks in each job but then they didn’t get all the information. Basically made it more work making it pointless using Workiz in the first place.

Mediocre at best

Commenti: I would say overall would never come back to utilize the service. I've utilized plenty of different softwares and this used to be great when it was SendAjob but since the transition to Workiz. You guys fall short and don't meet our needs. Maybe a one man show and or someone who doesn't need detailed, efficient workflow.

Aspetti positivi:

It seemed like a great software that would be able to customized to our needs. They used to be "SendAJob." When they were the service was great and flowed well.

Aspetti negativi:

The cons can go on and on. Very hard to distinguish the schedule. if you need a client with multiple properties and sub addresses this is the worst software I have ever encountered for such client management. The card processing wasn't efficient. the technical team when needed would only answer very generic and not try to create solutions.

Quick Software

Commenti: Overall the software does what I need it to do very well with a couple of exceptions. The software is quick and efficient to get my tasks accomplished.

Aspetti positivi:

Learning the software was pretty quick and simple. I love how fast the software and how booking the job is all on the same page. Being able to add pictures to each job is great. I like being able to assign the job to a technician and it turns the color of that technician. It makes dispatching simple. The reports are also another wonderful feature that makes it easier to determine job numbers.

Aspetti negativi:

I do not like how you cannot block off the schedule for a specific metro. We have three metros at Junk Doctors (Greensboro, Charlotte, Raleigh) and I am not able to just block off Charlotte without blocking off Raleigh and Greensboro. This leads to over scheduling issues for us. The QuickBooks transfer has not been very smooth on our end. We are having to manually enter most of our transactions into QB's.

Great Product

Commenti: Excellent product, excellent features, Awesome customer service, Great prices. We are fairly new with Workiz, but loving it so far.

Aspetti positivi:

The modern technology that is built right in such as 2-way texting, notifications, email, automation. The App is amazing and full of almost everything the desktop offers. It has a built-in full phone system to call customers from and to receive calls and records all communication with every lead/client that calls. They have built-in CC processing payments, online booking tools, online chatbot features that can also serve as a booking tool.

Aspetti negativi:

They have a "Leads" feature you can turn on so for a company like myself who does all estimates a lead is where about 90% of the communications occur, but you can't set notifications and text alerts to clients when they are in the lead status. This should be updated and hopefully will be. Once a lead becomes a Job or someone that owes you the money you have full range to communicate with them via text, email, and auto-notifications. This works great for a service business that doesn't do many estimates and only sets up service appointments for service work, but not so much for a company using Leads and doing estimates.

Simple and affotdable

Commenti: It helps us know where are techs are at and how long they will be there, the automatic review request, We are logging our tines of srrival, departure and mileage. There are great as one they offer as your company grows.

Aspetti positivi:

My technicians are old school and want everything on paper but this software made it so easy for them to do. Our productivity increased and so did out customer base and I believe it had a lot to do with this software and keeping us organized, ,,Thank you Workiz!!!!!!

Aspetti negativi:

Yes, I have trouble understanding the estimate vs job input.

This is a great product for scheduling, lead & Job creation, estimates and invoicing.

Commenti: It's great for scheduling and support is always great and helpful.

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to schedule jobs and have my clients and field technicians notified by text or email to confirm back.

Aspetti negativi:

the CRM portion of the client management is not great. It's not fluid. I want the ability to use it like I am flipping through an electronic database and it is slow and doesn't allow me to go by record or by sale date. I do a lot of phone cross selling and this program doesn't help me.

Gets worse with time

Commenti: Customer service has yet to get us any results to speak of, with a dozen or so attempts at various issues.
They just recently removed a field for invoice and part numbers. We have had that field available from day one and use it multiple times each day. Customer service says it wasn't a popular item so they removed it.
So much for tracking parts or invoices...

Aspetti positivi:

Pros: The app is yellow and I do like the color yellow.

Aspetti negativi:

Complete garbage. Worst mapping on the planet, cumbersome software forces you to use an app and the web based "portal" to complete a workorder, they remove features without warning or apology, support is a complete waste of time

Office Admin

Commenti: My overall experience has been have been good with workiz.

Aspetti positivi:

Scheduling and invoicing is easy. Writing back and forth to customers via email is great also.

Aspetti negativi:

I'd love a feature wear you and employees can see just a block of the schedule taken off for the day. Like for appointments or something like that. It actually say that also. Plus say the say you are closed and blocked. Not just leaving it blank.

Easy as it gets

Commenti: It’s an all in one. I’d like to add some features but what they do offer is top tier

Aspetti positivi:

Everything is great, great customer service, I’m on auto pilot.

Aspetti negativi:

I wouldn’t change anything. Once I got the hang of it it was seemed.

WorkIZ 2022

Aspetti positivi:

The calendar and ease of use at assigning job

Aspetti negativi:

The app. The app defaults to showing the entire calendar and is not tech specific unless changed

Amazing app, great features, needs minor improvements

Aspetti positivi:

The ability to see the address, number, name, what work needs to get done, and the automated messages.

Aspetti negativi:

The text feature is very bad and there is no jump to a word feature.

Overall great app!

Aspetti positivi:

I love how its easy to use. I love how I can send estimates, create invoice super easy for my clients. Super easy to charge clients on spot.

Aspetti negativi:

Lately, The feature of calling with using my phone change to "copy phone", which makes me to click on that, go to my phone, and paste on the keypad. It used to be much easier! You have two options.. either to call thru Workiz, or using my phone.. I hope it will be change back to how it used to be.

Stay away horrible service

Commenti: Trash customer service is trash . Software sucks

Aspetti positivi:

It seemed easy to use when it did work and didnt freeze

Aspetti negativi:

Couldnt close out work orders and use it for othr projects

Excellent Features

Commenti: It has helped me organize my clients and keep track of the field

Aspetti positivi:

Routing is made easy with the map. Easy to Keep track of Clients .

Aspetti negativi:

It works well with the browser but the app is not that good. When using from a tablet you can only use it vertically and are not able to turn the screen horizontal.

Great Service Software

Commenti: Our overall experience with Wirkiz has been very positive and they are working on continuous improvements for software. There are always tying to make it work better.

Aspetti positivi:

I found this software to be very easy to set up and implement for organization. After we set up a few settings and loaded some products we were up and running within a couple of days. We were able to implement the software and training with no problems.

Aspetti negativi:

We would like the ability to see a product photo of in the software and we would like to have the option to send out PDF attachments not just a picture/

Work is is a fantastic app

Commenti: I love the program and they are continually improving it

Aspetti positivi:

It has all of the tools that I need to run my service business. Technicians can easily access their daily job site calendars and all pertinent information.

Aspetti negativi:

There is no editable PDF forms available. I would like to see the ability to add editable PDF documents.

Great CRM for service business

Commenti: As mentioned in the pros section above overall I think it's a great service business software, especially for small and growing businesses.

Aspetti positivi:

I love the calling features, the dashboard is really easy to use, I love the customizable options, the reports are great but they can do a little better with balances, overall its a great sofware.

Aspetti negativi:

The mobile app is a bit limited, especially for dispatch use, notifications don't really come through well on my iPhone 12 even though my notification settings are on. I'm guessing it's more tailored to field techs.

Excellent for Contractors with Dispatch

Commenti: Price us very competitive against other providers and in general for what we are getting.
Scheduling, invoicing and dispatch are all solved in this platform.

Aspetti positivi:

The software is a great communication tool between the office the teams in the field and most important the client. Scheduling is a very easy and offers a clear view of the daily and weekly plan.

Aspetti negativi:

Waiting for them to provide MMS capabilities.

WorkIz for HVAC Company

Commenti: We just integrated the Commission feature and it is a big timesaver.

Aspetti positivi:

The integration process was very simple and so far, our technicians have adapted to the app. It is great having our customer base in one place and a history of previous jobs so we can look back and make an educated diagnosis.

Aspetti negativi:

I do not like that I can't delete jobs when needed. Also, sometimes it's tedious going all the way back when I'm trying to research something and I have to start all over again.

Easy to Operate

Commenti: I am texting customers and making them comfortable before I even enter the homes and everything is easy to access

Aspetti positivi:

Very easy to operate and see exactly where when and what you finished. I like of a job isn't finished unless you know why it's not finished and why you have to go back and finish it

Aspetti negativi:

All the notifications that I constantly get every day and I can't turn off .
