BlueFolder: The Key to Effortless Asset Management

Overall, BlueFolder has been a valuable tool for my company. Its ability to track and manage all of our company's assets in one platform, ability to customize fields and forms and powerful reporting capabilities have greatly improved our asset management. While the software has a bit of a learning curve and requires a bit of effort to fully set it up and customize it, the benefits of BlueFolder far outweigh the cons for our business.

PROS

As an admin user of BlueFolder in my company, I have found it to be a comprehensive and user-friendly asset management software. One of the biggest advantages of this software is its ability to track and manage all of our company's assets in one platform. From equipment, vehicles, to tools and inventory, BlueFolder provides a seamless experience for our team and our customers. Another great feature of BlueFolder is the ability to customize fields and forms to fit our company's specific needs. This has been especially useful in terms of tracking and managing the maintenance of our assets.

CONS

While it offers a wide range of features, it takes some time and effort to fully utilize all the functionalities, especially for non-technical users.

Its not perfect but its pretty good, and I haven't found anything better

As the title says, it is not perfect, but its good. You don't have to change your whole business process like with say service titan.

PROS

its flexible, you can get it to do a lot with the way you set it up. the support team, and really everyone we have worked with has been helpful. they are actively working on it and seem to care about there customers.

CONS

it does not do a few things that seem obvious but they are working on them.

Reason for choosing BlueFolder

we had made a decision matrix to help us pick the software that would work best for us, but we never got to use it because BlueFolder was the only software that checked off most of the boxes, there was never a point to rate the other ones they just did not do what we needed, if you were short sighted and didnt actually care about costs or efficency and just upsaled everything the others would be fine i guess. Zoho would of required switching from quickbooks online, we thought about it and it may have worked good but we decided not to switch our accounting software so i did not dive to deep into Zoho, the others were built for the sleezy upsale HVAC companies.

Reasons for switching to BlueFolder

It does not work right. about 3% of the time it would not fail to send invoices to QuickBooks, but it would fail to correctly send invoices to QuickBooks, its essentially bad at math. it also does not send COS data to quickbooks correctly. the database seems to be a mess, and if you get more then like 4 days on a job they can start to take 5 or 10 minuets to load. The field worker side is ok but the back end is a train wreck.

An effective tool for your daily needs

Overall, we are very happy with the program. We are hoping for some future integration with our documentation.

PROS

I really like the ease of use and the implementation of the system was virtually seamless with the tech team from BlueFolder. The reports are very good for our needs. The technicians really like to use the desktop program and that what's most important.

CONS

The mobile app needs a lot of work. There is limited ability to print out equipment reports for single units.

Reason for choosing BlueFolder

Cost, quick start up, easy data transfer, great people to work with...

Reasons for switching to BlueFolder

The product was no longer suited to our growing needs.

Good tool but expensive

Overall it serves us well, but the increasing costs might drive us to look at other options.

PROS

Work order management works well both in the office and in the field. Automated recurring work orders help keep preventative maintenance organized. Work history is easily located, it's easy to add attachements etc. Customer support is excellent, always a quick response, always quick to address any issues we have.

CONS

Sold in US dollars only makes it quite expensive for Canadian companies. Overall cost has become quite high. For our setup we have to do a lot of manual setup for preventative maintenance. Easier than on paper and automatically triggers work orders in the months we need though.

Reason for choosing BlueFolder

At the time the other products didn't have functions for scheduled preventative maintenance.

A Quality Product that Improves our Buisness

Overall, the experience we've had with BlueFolder has been very positive and we look forward to continuing to utilize it as our primary job tracking software. The improvements that have been implemented already make me confident that the service will just continue to be stronger and stronger.

PROS

BlueFolder has been a significant upgrade from our previous job tracking system. It is easy to use, has a wide variety of functions that increase our productivity, and has a strong customer service department that listens to our feedback and takes suggestions seriously for added features and improvements.

CONS

The invoicing/payment system could use some improvements. There is not an option to customize the invoice forms, take multiple payments for an invoice, edit invoices after creation, and receive a payment for multiple invoices.

Reasons for switching to BlueFolder

Service Fusion was not well liked by the office staff. It had many accounting issues and struggled with basic revenue recognition concepts. Invoices would not sync properly to QuickBooks, job numbers were ridiculous and it felt like customer support was lacking.

Ease in service work operations

This program keeps my operations organized in an easy way. I am sure I don't even use half the features in which I would like to be able to learn more about the options to see if it will help my operation even more.

PROS

The flow of a work order, from quote, to executed work order an scheduling, to completion of work order with a signature feature, to batching work orders to Quickbooks

CONS

Lacking a Drag and Drop feature and project management

Great product!

The service has been amazing. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is readily available and has excellent product and industry knowledge so he really understands our needs. He has a great skill in finding "work arounds" for features that Blue Folder may not have. Its clear he is very proficient in knowing this program and best practices for use.

PROS

I love how this product is simple and easy to navigate and use. The amount of customization is really great

CONS

I wish there was the ability to create a "master list" of equipment (so that we can use the same equipment for different customers) and the ability to work offline

Reason for choosing BlueFolder

The ease of use and the dashboard is very simple. Additionally, the customer support was amazing and the price was on point.

Reasons for switching to BlueFolder

We needed better flexibility, more reporting functions and the ability to access the program from anywhere- including the phone

Additionally, BlueFolder's customer service was top-notch. Anytime we had a question, they had an immediate answer.

PROS

We were burdened with heavy software that required a million clicks to get the simplest things done. Then, we found BlueFolder. It gave us everything we needed to store customer information, schedule service tickets for our employees and most importantly, close tickets and get paid quickly. The software's simplicity allowed us to put our focus on growing the company.

Forklift University LOVES BlueFolder

EXCEPTIONAL! service and support have always been spot on, helped when i had issues, helped on the new update. Responsive in a quick time period. Sale team has been helpful when I have had cusotmers that could benifit they helped me to setup a demo system. There are very few companies (especially software) that i like as much as this system.

PROS

We have been with BlueFolder for many many years, and have watched it improve. We use it to run nearly every aspect of our business. Before I started this company, I ran a software development company in LA, this software is simple to use, powerful and would be the highest rated software systems that I use for my company. Without this system I would have to link together several solutions and doubt they would give me the tools and ease of use that this one system has. Steve Drake

CONS

The calendar has issues with time zones. But this is common in most calendar systems. I live in Arizona and during half the year my appointments are set to the wrong time, even though my sales team puts them in correctly for the class. It adjusts to what it thinks is my local time, but the class is scheduled for a time in spite of the zone. This is an issue because I travel to those times, and it does not update when i am there.

Implementing Bluefolder in a new business model

I have used it in some capacity for the past 6 years and am implementing it at a new company. I can use it to research previous troubles, schedule future call-outs/PM's, and it is exceptionally easy to document issues for future technician's to diagnose.

PROS

I am currently at a new position and using the current companies in-house dispatch/billing/maintenance software is not intuitive to the point where only a specialized personnel use it. I suggested implementing Bluefolder on a trial basis for a subset of our customer base. I had used it in a similar capacity at a previous company and enjoy how easy it is to find customer and equipment data - specifically previous notes and dispatched and contact information.

CONS

The map function needs a bit of work. Much of our equipment in the field lacks a street address or is inside of another company's main location, but not a the street address that they would use (read a chemical plant with an Admin building for the address, but equipment installed elsewhere within the plant). Location information needs at latitude/longitude option. Entering location information should come with a "Save and new" button like the equipment entering option.Sub-equipment as a standard option would be nice.

PROS

This software is easy to use and navigate. Assigning tasks for team members is easy and notification keep you up to date on statuses as they progress through the service cycle.

CONS

Reporting could be improved. It would be nice to have reports that can show how long a service order is in a particular status.

BlueFolder is easy to use to manage work orders.

The software is easy to use and has some great functions. The best feature is being able to sort by job, property, etc. I LOVE having the search bar - I use this every time I enter a new service request. It helps being able to go back and see all the jobs for a specific property - or even all the jobs with one specific issue.

PROS

It's easy to look up past work orders (so I can see when something has been previously done with a property). It's very simple to set up new properties and contacts. The invoices are very professional looking and transfer nicely to QuickBooks.

CONS

I wish this software would integrate with Buildium - would be much easier to use if I didn't have to export to QuickBooks, download, then reupload to our management software. I also find it a pain to contact customer support to do basic functions like adding a user or removing a user.

BLUEFOLDER WILL HELP YOU GROW YOUR BUSINESS

We have been using BlueFolder for five years to schedule and manage a very, busy elevator service department. Without BlueFolder we would not have been able to grow our company by 50%, It allows us to provide the type of information that the technicians need in the field to do their job and the home office to manage all of the customers and equipment. The System has a lot of ways to customize the information specific to your company's needs. Their customer support is extremely helpful and always accessible when needed. This was the single most effective decision we have every made and I highly recommend this system.

PROS

The ease of data entry. The ability to manage technician's in the field and provide them with the information to do their job. The ability to integrate with QuickBooks for billing. This system has enabled our company's department to grow by 50%...

CONS

Would love to be able to link multiple data sets for custom reports.

Very easy to use and to the point.

I have been a user of Blue Folder since 2009. I have always kept an eye out for other applications to make sure I was get the best bang for my buck. I have spent hundreds of hours testing other systems and I can tell you this app is the only one that makes it easy and a very short learning period on how to use the app. The best feature they have is the customer notifications. That alone is worth the price. They make it so easy to communicate to my customer and they tell me that they love it!! Our customers are aware of what is going on every step of the way.
