Ease of use and integration with accounting software used by our company

Pros

The features are constantly being upgraded and improved in consultation with industry users.

Cons

A few too many areas to access for needed answers to questions. A novice to applications would have possible problems in following steps required.

Response from Jobbox Software

Hi Gero,
Thank you for taking the time to review ServiceBox and we are happy that you have been able to see the improvements that our developers are constantly doing to make it work even better!
We would be interested in clarifying and getting some additional information from you on how we can make it easier to find the answers for you in one area. If you would let us know how we can do that it would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Your ServiceBox Team

Far less paper waste, no chance of important paperwork getting lost, ticket history to see who made changes or last worked on a job. The connection has occasionally been spotty but usually it's fine. It does a great job of coordinating all of the info (which is why the address thing always throws me off lol).

Pros

Automatic iteration, filing, scheduling and organization of work order #s (and the consequent reductions in admin work and paper waste) are awesome.

Cons

There is one issue that requires users to frequently duplicate work and resubmit data that is already in the system:
When I am submitting a quote for tender, there are usually 3-5 contractors(customers) that require pricing but the job site is not going to change! After creating the quote for Customer 1, copying the quote should carry over the job site as well. In general, job sites do not need to be linked to a customer (because civic addresses exist geographically regardless of what business occupies it or what contractor is working on the job.)

Response from Jobbox Software

Hi Jordan,
Thank you for taking the time to write up a review. It is greatly appreciated. I am pleased to hear that you are finding ease with moving away and reducing paperwork! That is excellent.
I just wanted you to know that I have seen your feature request, we are looking into possible ways in order to make it work with our product. If you are ever in need of anything else, please do not hesitate to contact our help desk in order for us to deal with the issue right away.
Have a wonderful day,

Works fairly well when it works, but was constantly logging techs out every few weeks or so.Very often photos that are taken disappear off the mobile appHave to type a job in a few times before it is recognized on the desktop, their IT department has never bee able to solve the issue

Pros

cannot answer, wants a 40 character answer

Cons

Takes too long to get help on issues, once a ticket is submitted, there is no real time help to solve problems, which can severely impact access to the system The Help menu they have, often times do not connect to issues requested

Overall everything has been great! Whenever I need assistance I receive a speedy response and there are so many helpful articles at your fingertips. I love how much ServiceBox has taken us away from paper and notes scattered everywhere to one place where everything can be documented.

Pros

ServiceBox is very user friendly and helps manage all aspects of the day to day. I love that i can create recurring work orders, schedule jobs, invoice, and so much more all out of one system.

Cons

The sales tax function should be improved. I'd like ServiceBox to connect with QuickBooks and pull the sales tax rates from the QB system and enter into SB (ad update as needed).

We have streamlined out workflow significantly in introducing ServiceBox. We were able to eliminate a full-time job that we would have needed to find a replacement as well as limit the work done on a daily basis by the dispatcher and the individual technicians.

Pros

Adding this software into our workflow was game changer. The most important reason we went to ServiceBox was because they seamlessly integrated with SAGE50 Canada. Another important quality of the software - the Customer support is AMAZING. Any time I've had an issue or wishing to see improvement, they've listened and made changes when appropriate and in a timely manner.

Cons

Their app needs a bit of improvement in the speed and ease of getting to the "meat" of the app. It's still easy to use but there's a bit of lag when opening the app and getting into the website.

The software is great for companies just starting out and is very easy to implement into an existing business. The cost is great. I do feel like it is something that as a company grows it will outgrow the software

Pros

The cost and ease of use. It was very easy to implement into the company. The apps are great also.

Cons

I wish there was more reporting option like sales per techs, daily ticket values, etc.. I would be willing to pay extra for these

Response from Jobbox Software

Reviewed on 2018-04-03

Pros

The company is incredibly responsive to questions or requested changes. The software is simple and intuitive for users.

Cons

I would like even greater customization of each users access to the different functions. It would be great if changes were saved without having to click on the green check mark.

Our company tried a few different service software programs and couldn't find one that fit our business needs. With Servicebox having such great flexibility we were able to customize the program and reports to our specific needs. Also, the onboarding and tech support from Servicebox was great with them giving as much time as needed to get you operating comfortably. Strongly recommend the program.

Pros

Very user friendly for both office staff and technicians. Many great features such as the ability to customize reports, add photo's, and integrate with existing accounting softwares. Very easy for techs in the field to learn the app. Significantly reduced dispatching and invoicing workload.

Cons

Search function is somewhat inconsistent when looking for past invoices or work orders. Also, if you leave a work order without hitting the save button it deletes it and you have to do it over again. A save reminder would be nice for field techs using the app.

Pros

I love how easy the program is to use, you can jump right into it without any training! Also I like how it is very customizable to the company so any company can make it their own.

Cons

The scheduler glitches sometimes, when changing the date or time (just moving things around) sometimes it will glitch and move to a different date or time, which can be very frustrating on those long days.

Response from Jobbox Software

Hi Kasja,
Thank you for taking the time to review ServiceBox. We are happy to hear that the system has been working well for you and your company.
We are proud of how customizable our system can be and it is great to see it has been recognized and that it has been a benefit for you.
Sorry to hear you are experiencing glitches with the scheduler. If you could provide us with some more information on what you are doing when the "glitch" in the scheduler happens that would be most appreciated. When it happens, please use the feedback section of the system and that way our team can resolve it for you.

It's a great idea, but it is a lot of work to use.
There are places to put all the info I can think of, but it's not organized in a way that makes it easy to get to the information
Let me put it this way: using the app is like visiting a website created in 2002...

Pros

I like that there are many ways to organize aspects of the job.
I like that the contact info of each customer can be inserted into the app

Cons

It's clunky.
Small buttons make each page seem confusing
I have to click through several buttons and screens to get to places I want to go in the app
When I want to go back a page, it takes a while to load and sometimes it won't go back.

Service box is one of the better products I've used for work and hours, but it's easier to pick out things I don't like over anything else. I don't have time to update my hours over a computer so it's all on the iPhone. Would be a lot nicer in an app. It's hard to fix mistakes, and navigate the website on the phone. My biggest thing would be to have an app or a phone version of the website. Buttons are all really small and it's not obvious if you are checked in. Would like something to pop up bold or have a colored button to indicate that you are signed in.
