    Date: May 24 2022
    Summary

    For field techs, this is a great platform. Mobile app is super user friendly and does a great job. I am using this tech every day now.

    Positive

    User experience is good. I am not the most techy type guy. Training was awesome - really helped me figure out what needs to be done and how. I like that id doesn't take me hours to document my jobs during the day and that when I am in the field I can run things right from my phone.

    Negative

    I don't have anything to say here - at least for now.

With our staff not having to wait to do the updates - accuracy of what we see at the end of the day have improved. I use their reports features and insights functionality.

    We are a much more efficient company after choosing BuildOps. Less paperwork and errors. We're believers! Using them for: Field service management, HVAC, HVAC GPS Tracking, Service Work Order, Field Service Mobile Apps, Field Activity Management, Service Dispatch

    Positive

    Quoting, no doubt. We like that you can customize quotes on the go (before we were manually editing each quote in Word), email them out to customers right away and can keep track of them in one place. That savings in time alone is worth it.

    Negative

    Bells and whistles are worth it but it's not cheap.

    Summary

    It doesn't matter how great of a system you think you're running, In my opinion BuildOps can do it better.

    Positive

    Great features but my shop which is on the smaller side. Good because I can grow into it but a bit overkill for now.

    Negative

    Lots of features to improve what we're doing now and for what we will do in the future. I'm probably only using 20% of the full measure right now. Hope to keep adding.

    Date: May 17 2022
    Summary

    Really positive experience - especially with BuildOps support and customer care teams; Our team loves mobile capabilities - no need to buy an iPad for our technicians works on their mobiles! And again reporting and data piece is impressive.

    Positive

    We're more of a mid size company and at this point starting to pay attention to our data. Used lots of Excel and some rudimentary BI tools, but these can only get you so far. Our team needed extra help in training and BuildOps delivered - we go beyond reports now and use their custom and calculated fields, dashboards, build our own reporting at this point (don't ever want to return back to excel)

    Negative

    Can be a bit more expensive, especially for a smaller shops, but hey - you get all of the right features to grow your business.

    Great customer support team - very knowledgeable

    Date: Jun 30 2022
    Summary

    BuildOps enables our guys to invoice in the field and in real-time and streamlines our billing process. Mobile is the way to go - it makes jobs easier for our technicians. We can do so much now - keep track of all quotes, customer agreements, pieces and parts replaced, - we can do our work faster and more accurately these days.

    Positive

    Customer support is quick to respond and help - they are very knowledgeable and very thorough. There is a very impressive amount of information available to you once the platform is live and ready: quotes, orders, jobs, customer info, employee info, assets, etc. History and past parts and assets used are easy to see and track.

    Negative

    There is a bit of a learning curve - prepare to invest the first few days to a couple of weeks to learn, but as I mentioned their customer care team is great - you'll have a lot of help.

    Summary

    Thank you for helping us grow and thank you for all of the great support from your customer care specialists and trainers.

    Positive

    We used to be a very inefficient company that would make too many mistakes. Over reliance on paper processes and a bunch of disconnected software tools - we couldn't trust some of our data at the end of the day.
    BuildOps has changed all of that.

    Negative

    Our team loves it, we've been using BuildOps now for some time and really got nothing bad to say. Reporting can be a bit difficult to learn
    during you first couple months, dashboards, etc.

    Really straight forward and easy implementation experience

    Date: May 12 2022
    Summary

    Overall, great customer support, easy-to-understand dispatch board, and GPS functionality save us $ and allows for more jobs to get done during the day.

    Positive

    Really great customer support and implementation process. It was by far one of the smoothest implementation experiences we had.

    Negative

    The Dispatch board is great - super easy to understand and navigate around, awesome GPS capabilities. The fact that we can optimize for the best routes and technicians in the field - saves us a lot on gas, and allows us to deliver more projects in the same area per day. Really well made, feels like it was engineered for mechanical contractors doing a lot of commercial work.
