### "Everything in sync NextMinute is epic"

August 24, 2023

5.0

Awesome. The team is local and helped me set up in a matter of minutes. They are a really cool bunch and speak my sparky language when I have a question.

Pros

The integration with Xero is a dream. Everything is in sync in real time. I've saved so many hours tracking timesheets, building and sending quotes and reconciling payment back through Xero. I love the job planning feature for my bigger jobs and I have a live view of my finances and job profitability.

Cons

It's not quite field service. I knew that going in when I did the trial but the other features are so good and its so cheap, I've stuck with NextMinute. So, I don't really have any cons.

Reason for choosing NextMinute

The support guys and gals. Hands down, the most important thing is the support, I was struggling through the other ones and as soon as I got the good advice and support, I was sold.

### "Next minute is a game changer"

September 18, 2023

4.0

Next Minute are very helpful for advice and tutorials even a year after using the product, they always return your calls and emails.

Pros

A great tool that works with all parts of our business, from initial call to end product. There are alot of features that you can use to make your time in the office a whole lot easier. The mobile APP is very good, and has almost all features available as the computer, so is very funtionall in the field.

Cons

It has been difficult to get the team on board with all the features, as there are so many options available. Moving from paper and excel sheets has been hard for some, but videos and tutorials have been great to assit with this.The payroll isnt quite integrated well yet with Xero as far as leave goes, but I am told this will be resolved soon.

Because the product said it would do things, then 3 months into using it, I found it clunky and not up to what it said it could do- A case of overpromise and under deliver.

### "Great Solution"

September 14, 2023

4.0

Support from \[sensitive content hidden\] has been outstanding and that our suggestions get heard and the possibility they will be acted on is reassuring

Pros

Great tool for recording employee time against each job. Clean interface that has been relatively easy to deploy

Cons

Invoicing was too clunky to use stand alone, especially chasing overdue invoices so was easier to sync with Xero and manage Invoices there. At times it feels we need to click. Lunch Breaks feature in timesheets caused a real headache so deactivated this feature

Reason for choosing NextMinute

Ease of use, the timesheet feature was superior to others, NZ-based team

September 14, 2023

Good for timesheets & very basic job tracking

Pros

Easy to use time sheets, good integration to some suppliers & accounting software

Cons

There’s not enough cost centres to break a job down. You only have labour, materials, disbursements & other

Reason for choosing NextMinute

I’ve Been using NextMinute since the early integration with PlaceMakers & I’ve found it too hard to change over during my projects.

September 14, 2023

Next Minute has definitely helped our company to land a lot more work with the supplier integration and quoting features.

Pros

The Placmakers supplier integration is my favorite feature. Would be nice to have other building materials suppliers set up on integration as well.

Cons

How I can't shift actual charges from one job to another. This is an issue when the supplier puts materials for two different jobs on the same invoice.
