December 8, 2023

5.0

Great experience, easy to work with the team at BOSS811

Pros

Easy to use, reliable, and has mad out VA811 ticket management seamless

Cons

No real cons, we have requested features that we had a desire and need for. BOSS always listened and delivered what they were able to.

Reason for choosing BOSS811

At the time it seemed to be a good solution and offered many options that we liked over the others.

### "Boss811 is definitely the best "Bang for the Buck"! "

November 15, 2022

5.0

With BOSS811, management can keep an eye on everything, without being at the desktop.

Pros

If I had to choose one item, it would have to be the BOSS811 app. It makes the job so must easier for the locator. As far as the software goes, I would have to say that the "Reports" part of the software is what I like most.

Cons

I don't know that I have any cons about BOSS811. It does everything we need, plus options for a lot of other things that we do not use.

Alternatives considered

### "Just got started and like it so far"

November 16, 2022

4.0

New product rolled our for our locators in the last couple of months. We compared three services and chose Boss811. So far we are happy with the ease of use.

Pros

It was missing color coding for our different lines (water, sewer, recycled water). The engineers were able to work with our GIS team to get the color coding working.

Cons

Weighting (increasing the size/width) of the lines to show mains, laterals, service lines is not available.

Reason for choosing BOSS811

Overall it seemed to fit our needs/processes better

### "Ticket Management Software"

April 1, 2021

5.0

The entire team at Boss811 is great to work with. Day or night, they are supportive and listen to ideas and suggestions to make the product better. If they continue to keep the same level of customer service, they sky is the limit.

Pros

The cost savings and visibility that this brought into our organization that displays real time locate activity has been amazing. The customer service and agile deployment of solutions is top notch.

Cons

Integrating with numerous vendors was challenging. This is not a fault with Boss811, but just not knowing about what a full integration takes was a bit of a challenge. The team and I learned so much during this and will make any future changes much easier.

### "BOSS811 Locaters"

March 6, 2023

5.0

We've used this software for a couple years not and are about to setup this year as well. We struggled with locate tickets before but now things run pretty smoothly in the field.

Pros

Our locator finds it very easy to use even though he is not very tech savy.

Cons

Our locator hasn't had anything negative to say about the software.

### "Very good software for managing tickets"

August 13, 2020

5.0

I couldnt be more impressed with this software. Its simple in design, and easy to use. The field employees like it and management appreciates all the reporting and alert functions.

Pros

We have several utilities that marked in our organization and never had one place to organize and review the ticket management process. This has allowed us to manage our tickets with ease.

Cons

I am very pleased with everything about this product. We will be purchasing a new asset management and work order system soon that I will be interested to see how this integrates with it. For now, it works great as a stand alone tool for us.

Reason for choosing BOSS811

Boss seemed to have a stronger platform and more functionality than any others we saw on the market.

November 15, 2021

5.0

From the development to deployment and daily use, BOSS811 has continued to provide us with latest and greatest ticket management solution on the market.

Pros

We love that the BOSS811 team is constantly improving their system and always provide great feedback anytime I have a question.

Cons

We haven't had any cons yet. From the previous ticket management software we had to BOSS811, there is no contest.

### "BOSS 811 Review from one utility manager"

August 13, 2020

5.0

Simply being able to see where my Locators are in real time and what tickets they are currently working. This alone makes the job of the manager a whole lot easier.

Pros

The feature we have found to be most useful is the BOSS811 integration with our ESRI ArcGIS Geographic Information System (GIS). The process is seamless. The real time tracking and integration with map services (layers) in the map window was a game changer for us. We have several layers we use that include water, sanitary, recycled water. Updates to the layers are done in ArcGIS and seamlessly, effortlessly appear on the BOSS811 interactive map. This ensures our Locators always have the most current information when in the field.

Cons

To be honest, I cannot think of any Cons. I hope BOSS811 keeps their focus on continuing innovation. Well done!

### "Excellent software and support"

April 12, 2022

5.0

We've had a great experience with BOSS811 and their team. The software is easy to use and has made our jobs easier.

Pros

The support team behind this software is efficient, and always willing to help. Support requests are completed in timely manner.

Cons

Personally, being able to integrate emails as tickets could be useful, but I think it's not the point of this software.

### "New customer to Boss811"

January 14, 2022

5.0

We had a business need to replace a legacy ticket management program with an extremely aggressive schedule. The Boss team worked with our line of business tirelessly to implement and customize the Boss811 application. We are a high ticket volume customer with relatively complex business rules , and the Boss team has been excellent to work with.

Pros

Web-Based, easily integrated with existing programs, applications. Intuitive user interface.

Cons

damage prevention focused features, nothing else comes to mind
