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.

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.

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.
