Damien: Hi. I'm Damien. I'm an HVAC professional. I have my own company. And I give Housecall Pro a five out of five. I've used a couple other companies for the services of dispatching and things of that nature. The first would be SuccessWare, which was a company owned program, which was okay. It did the job. The other one was a pretty big company, ServiceTitan, which is a great program however, not really meant for someone with probably less than 50 trucks. It's quite an expensive process, an expensive program to use. I use Housecall Pro because it's cost-effective for me and any small business, really. It still gives you all of the benefits, or near about all the benefits that a ServiceTitan would and it's geared more for people like me. Yes, I chose Housecall Pro due to its price, especially for a small business like mine, the functionality, the benefits of it, and I can bring my wife in, who has never even done HVAC, and she's able to excel in there, and to send out postcards and notify customers and book appointments, with little to no training at all. It's a very, very good program designed for someone like myself. Integrating Housecall Pro was super easy for me. All I did was stay on the phone call with the guy for about 30 minutes, get all the information. And because I had done something similar to it in the past, it helped me out a little bit more. They have plenty of tutorials and standby assistance for anything that you may need. They have chat. It's super easy. Housecall Pro would definitely be a choice for anybody starting in the HVAC industry at least in my experience. I've worked with several other companies that provide somewhat similar things. I've been asked to try other programs, but Housecall Pro is where it's at. It's the best priced, best functionality, best benefits that I've ever seen.
