The applications are user friendly and the closing per month is quick and efficient. If you encounter any difficulties the support is outstanding.
The programming is very unstable. Most of the time, when a new release it's out, it messes up something that was working correctly before.
The support was, and continues to be great, and I have the highest degree of confidence when I do have to call that issues are taken care of quickly. These guys really deserve an award.
No or very little training on the software. No idea how to use most of it.
The support from VMS is great, they are always very helpful and responsive. The product is easy to use and navigate, and we are very happy.
Crystal reports have been a struggle for us, when running reports.
The ease of usability, easy to find what i am looking for and track my work flow. The ability to change the sites that we take care of.
The colors in Ventus were hard on the eyes from time to time.
A good way to track work in progress and schedule Labour. Would love to see more customised features around the Favorites setup for invoicing and quotes.
Apprentice on entry level subscription cant search for jobs unless he is assigned to it which is a pain (has no search bar option at all).
It integrates seamlessly to Xero which has made it very simple to implement. We like the ability to track staff when required and the fact that it has a full health and safety component also.
Setting up with suppliers in Australia was frustrating.
Fergus is a great system we are using to help with job scheduling and management of our workers and also great with invoicing jobs once completed, as it links with our xero account as well.
However I am restricted to just labour & materials.
Excited to see future improvements, and lastly, the team on the customer support help desk are awesome - you guys rock.
I have a limited function to use under my log in.
