I like the features of Fergus, the ability to have photos on the job and the overall ease of use.

Provides the capability to break down profit and loss statements in detail that gives you the ability to improve in areas.

Time sheet Tracking for me and staff, organised and nice looking quotes, quote acceptance via email, Mobile invoicing if needed, a way of back costing jobs fast  and easily.

Its also provides us with good analytical data on jobs, so we can see our margins and net profit we are making. Very happy with the service provided.

Great for the small growing business to help monitor and maintain costs.

At the moment when generating from quote in purchase orders it generates upside down which is annoying.

Its a true all in one service management software. The program is user friendly and has the best configuration Ive used so far.

This all-in-one system has a fantastic scheduling  feature that is transparent and easy to learn how to use.

Lack of fields in parts database, no link to google calendar,  no subtotals to match sub headings in quotes and invoices, no photos linked to parts.

It integrates seamlessly to Xero which has made it very simple to implement. We like the ability to track staff when required and the fact that it has a full health and safety component also.

Ease of use, simplicity of the status board helping you track all current and upcoming job from start to finish.

It allows a range of services that make running a business much more manageable. It also has clear instructions and helpful customer service who are always a lot of help.

It is also affordable for start-up companies, but can also be utilized by larger successful companies for a change in operations.

A very user friendly software product with a great support team who are always working to make it better. We have already recommended it and got others in the industry using it.

Fergus have been very helpful. The support team are easy to get a hold off and are very good to deal with.

Every now and then if pushed wrong button to escape would loose the email draft.

It's always hard changing software, so the change was painful.

Excited to see future improvements, and lastly, the team on the customer support help desk are awesome - you guys rock.

Our accountant struggles with certain aspects when needing to retrieve financial information and do reports.

Highly recommend it to someone like myself, a sole trader. Very easy to use and great back up service.

Setting up with suppliers in Australia was frustrating.

Great technical back up in layman's terms and we feel that we are being listened to.

I like how easy it is to use  and implement all aspects of my business.

I use Fergus daily for multiple clients, so I'm quite comfortable with how it works and am now training people in Fergus.

Easy to use and easy to understand the features, it helps me to organize each schedule efficiently.

Desktop and mobile sites are easy to use. Integration with suppliers and accounting software is key.

Apprentice on entry level subscription cant search for jobs unless he is assigned to it which is a pain (has no search bar option at all).

Overall, I am happy with the experience. There are some options that I would like to have added, but it is saving me some time.

This software can be a bit confusing to learn, including learning how to navigating through all of the features.

My most favorite feature of Jolt would be its assistance in helping the team meet food safety.

We also love the referral program. We haven't had anyone actually join yet, but we recommend Jolt to everyone.

It can be difficult to delete a lost from the daily to-do checklist once it has been added.

It has extreme customization and it is easy to print out the inspections for the night crew and the users are happy with a program that is quick and easy to use.

Customer support has been very helpful to us and he is always keeping up with the workflow. Overall it has been an AWESOME experience.

Found the instructions and support functions excellent and made it easy to navigate awesome support.

I love the functionality of the product. You can customize everything.

If youre wondering if it would be a good investment, the answer is yes. I enjoy using this program as it makes me job a lot easier and better manageable.

I have cut my time that is spent making the schedule down from the previous program I used.

Scheduling is great and easy to use. The systemisation use in our workplace has been excellent.

The price is great and the training/support has been top notch. There is a ton of flexibility and customization in the system and we are really excited about all of the things Jolt can help us do.

I thought I had walked into the wrong restaurant.

I have a rapidly growing food business and have been looking for a solution that would work well with our team ensuring that nothing goes astray.

Jolt made the initial setup and content migration for our test account simple. Store level integration was seamless and the team loves using the platform.

The modular ability of being able to build what you need is great. Setting up pushes for the lists and forms at specific times is a great tool to help keep the team on track daily.

Support from the Jolt team is amazing, as they help guide you through your initial training  and ongoing training as you continue to learn the functionality of their system.

Jolt is amazing, I've used it with several companies that I have worked for and it is the only program I CONTINUALLY RECCOMEND. Great program and even better customer service.

Cost per month is really high.I have to pay custom duties here in Canada that adds up.

The software, in our experience, is offline often.
