Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • HJ is very user-friendly for all levels of users (upper management down to foremen), easy to learn how to use, and the academy is super helpful for beginners as a starting point.
  • I like that HCSS products are capable of carrying us from the inception of the projects, when we develop and track potential leads, to estimating, execution, and closeout.
  • The support from HCSS is by far the best in the industry. The streamlined interface aids in training new users. The integration between systems helps ensure your data is always top tier.
  • HeavyBid and HeavyJob are both great products, when I look back I don't know how we did it before having HeavyJob.

Cons

  • HCSS is expensive, especially when you use multiple platforms of HCSS.
  • HCSS is like Windows: it's been around for a long time and has lots of customers who use its legacy systems. We are here now and need the missing features now. They work hard to accommodate us, but you can feel the delay.
  • There was some loss in functionality within HeavyJob from the Desktop version to the Web version. We hope that gets resolved in years to come.
  • All good, I really don't have any complaints other than some occasional issues with our cloud.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Technical Support staff incredibly helpful, diligent. Value has historically been outstanding in my view.
  • This is a good quality product. I have tried and used a few, and this is the one that I like the most. Detailed nicely and simple to manage. Thanks very much. Sincerely yours, CWS, ALABAMA
  • The battery lasts a super long time.... probably close to 2 weeks .....the tracking is usually precise. There have been a few times where the satellite must get hung up and the location is a few miles off but this is definitely the exception.
  • Love being able to tell an account how far out my trucks are. Checking time and milage. And showing drivers better ways to go next time.
  • The features are excellent. I like all the features, especially the ones that let you know how your driver is doing. The driver score helps out a lot keeps me from having bad people in my car.
  • The product is great and easy to use. It gives us up to the minute tracking on our trucks. It’s great to get reports every morning in our email to see how guys are driving and making sure they are being safe. Also helps to prove to customers we were at the houses and how long they were in the Job.
  • The customer service rep was professional and concerned, English is her first language, no guessing or assuming. Olivia was detailed and had follow through with everything she faced. Yes Safari does work properly with Linxup now.
  • These are the easiest and most reliable trackers we have used for our cars. Easy plug and play. The app is great as well as the web portal. Customer service is quick and painless. I always get to speak with someone when I call. Email responses are great.
  • Very easy to install, how fast it connects to the system, there's nothing complicated about it, just literally plug and go!
  • I had someone borrow a piece of Equipment and told no one about it. I had it located in 5 mins and 10 mins later I had a guy there looking at it on the job site.
