Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing that other systems cant deliver despite the promises at the start by the salesman, typical pressure tactics to get you to sign up on that day should have raised alarm bells.
  • Tracking feature is fantastic. Allows you to monitor the teams location to in turn keep the client updated. The teams live speed and driving habits are also shown on the tracking feature. You can run a wide range of reports. Very friendly technicians who are always there to help.
  • Being able to manage the business flow from client lead to invoice within one system. - CRM - Plan Schedule Dispatch - Road Crew Support - Alerting
  • Very easy to change over to from our old time taking system to BigChange! Made all our jobs easier in the back office and also made my company more efficient.
  • The BigChange system is how we run the whole company. We send jobs, track jobs, track timing, engineers, send invoices, track finances etc. etc.

Cons

  • Big Change, BIG promises that they fail to deliver, no help with transition from an existing system and no help at all (unless you pay extra of course) with the bespoke elements of the system that they claim during the sales and onboarding process will be no problem to integrate. As soon as you sign up and the pro-forma and direct debits have been arranged you struggle to hear from anyone. This system has cost my company a fortune and we are going back to our original system as its was far more user friendly and efficient, I will ask all of my staff members to provide an honest non -biased review of Big Change where it relates to their particular user experiences in their various roles, this has been a Big Mistake for a VERY EXPENSIVE system that fails to deliver.
  • I have not come across anything that I don't like.
  • Improvement can be made within the stock movements.
  • I wish we had this system in earlier knowing now how much it would benefit our company.
  • The ergonomics of the system can be improved slightly, but this is the only thing I can see wrong with it.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We had no idea how much of an advantage HCP would be in managing our business for records, history, billing and management.
  • Housecall Pro has helped me grow my business and present professionally in my services. Being a one man operation I look at ways to be as professional as possible, having Housecall Pro is essential in this. My clients love the automated text of their appointments along with when I am en route to their homes. Communication is key in the service industry, HCP saves me tons of phone calls and time spend coordinating my schedule.
  • Professional Appearance, Text Messaging Notifications, Easy to use, so many features that it's sometimes hard to know ALL that it can do for you.
  • I enjoy how easy it is to navigate the schedule, add so many features through their apps, all my techs can see important messages between customer, quick books tabs, reviews, etc.
  • We're HVAC and pros for us are: 1. affordability 2. ease of use 3. integration with other apps 4. marketing features 5. CUSTOMERS LIKE THE SOFTWARE!

Cons

  • As we add more employees the scheduling window can be difficult to manage.
  • I would say as a smaller company I don’t have any issues with the software. It does exactly what I need it to do for me. I could see how larger companies may not get all the features they’re looking for, but for me it works well.
  • Lack of Parts Inventory is the biggest complaint.
  • I don’t like that call backs aren’t flagged, I want my csr to be able to reschedule calls without having to go through each call, I don’t like how long the transactions take to hit the bank and I have to add another charge to make it an instant payout, the price to add on additional service techs, the inability to create easier proposals, and SO MUCH MORE.
  • Bookkeeping integration with QuickBooks is tricky. The wait time for the "blue-bubble" user chat is too slow. I've noticed this problem over the last six months, and needs improving.
