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 have used Scheduling Manager Gemini software from Thoughtful Systems for over 12 years now, for our residential cleaning business Before we started using Thoughtful’ s software, we relied on some paper and pen methods, also spreadsheets and data on customers in QuickBooks. When we first implemented Scheduling Manager Gemini software, we were pleased that the software could import all our customer information from QuickBooks. Since that time, we have maintained the link between Thoughtful Systems and QuickBooks, so all invoices and payments we create in Scheduling Manager Gemini are exported seamlessly to QuickBooks. Also, any new customers we enter into Gemini are transferred. From time to time, we have asked Thoughtful Systems for modifications to certain parts of the software, and they have been great at implementing what we want at reasonable rates. We have found the support staff to be helpful in promptly attending to any questions or issues that have occurred with the software. We like also that Thoughtful Systems adds new features from time to time -- their mobile app is great. Also, the text messaging features, which let us send reminders to all customers via text message each day. It makes job scheduling much more manageable -- a huge improvement over what we used to do more than 12 years ago, before we started using Scheduling Manager. Invoicing is made easy too. We can keep track of all info for our customers easily. Cons The only regret I have is that we didn’t start using this software sooner! I couldn't say I don't like something particular about Thoughtful Systems' software.
