Very happy with the tracking of job activity, billing and job status.

The real time tickets are great, the pictures are a big help for us and the owner and sales guys can access the work that has been done as well. Reports are an easy run to get different stats as well.

Before Bolt, I would often show up to a job that is ready for me and yet I cannot do what I need because of a lack of provided information on site. I very rarely have this problem now.

They keep using obscure Gmail accounts and sending emails what a waste of a company time.

It has helped hold our company accountable and to see where our weak links exist. The absolute best scheduling assistant money can buy.

Getting locked out of software & no way to reset it.

The guys in the field can upload pictures and complete or change work orders. I love the ability to invoice directly into my Quickbooks program.

It does freeze up sometimes, or run slow. Which makes it difficult in my fast paced job.

They will never quit emailing you they are a total waste of my life.

Functionality and ease of use. It serves our company well, the software support is amazing.

I like how easy it is to work my schedule for days even weeks out. User interface is super intuitive.

Lack of updates, losing tasks. Supervisor will task multiple things and it doesn’t get relayed to the field tech in time causing reoccurring visits to the job site... and on and on.

We can easily reassign crews and/or jobs. The Superintendants all love receiving the confirmations.

To me , keeping everything organized and eliminating paper is the best. Being able to assign tasks to my crews is really practical and in detail.

My staff is finding the system very easy to learn and use. The support staff  has been a pleasure to work with.

Which means money comes in faster and that is GREAT. Bolt has made our day to day work much much easier, and since people can get access in the field it has really made things much more efficient.

Inability for material orders to be placed by more than one crew member assigned a specific work order.

I did/do dislike having to order my work materials through the Bolt App.

With all software programs, there are cons. There are days that BOLT lags and/or glitches, however, these are few to none.

Ease of use; user friendly; detailed information.

I am overall pretty pleased with the program. We have had a few issues with it but have ether figured it out ourselves or we get help from the support team.

The customer support is always very prompt and ALWAYS willing to help in whatever way they can. If you are looking make a change to benefit your company Bolt is the best choice.

Overall it has been a good experience. The software has evolved with updates and improvements to meet our current needs.

To add insult to injury, 18 months after Freshbooks canceled and deleted my account, they charged my credit card for another year subscription.

Freshbooks should be facing fraud charges and or a Class Action lawsuit. I expect either very shortly in the future.

Ease of use and integration from pc to mobile. The fact that i could copy repetitive invoices and projects saved me a lot of time as well.

It’s very easy to use,excellent customer service and use also a great mobile app. I am really happy to have this software in my company.

Dishonest Culture - Horendous Customer Service - Terrible product STAY AWAY.

I love that i can send edit and track my business. The app on my phone is great but would like more of the same options as the desktop.

Software is easy to use, has the appropriate features and the support staff is outstanding.

Interface is hard and confusing to use. Not built for those without precision motor skills (forget it if you have any sort of impairment).

It shows you who is yet to give the payments and how much outstanding balance is remaining. The compatibility of FreshBooks is so good that it tells you the total profit and loss.

My experience was FreshBooks has been a phenomenal one. The interface is great and the presentation and look of the program is great as well.

Its easy  to use have a good customer servicehave good mobile apps designed so good and have attractive invoice templates.

I like that the software is great at keeping track of invoices. It's helpful for a freelancer.

It was a great beginners accounting software with an invoicing option that I made good use of. It was pretty intuitive and user friendly.

I like the fact that it makes me very serene about my numbers. This is not something I like doing so I recommend it.

It had been extremely simple to highlight and remove outsider applications since it made my experience superb to utilize this product.

Great for freelancers and small businesses. Free version is easy to use and when you upgrade to the paid version you get great features.

Great experience, easy to use. Customers like quotes and invoices and I like the ability to create them off my mobile device quickly and easily.

The downside of FreshBooks is that there is no possibility of merging contacts while duplicates are repeated when Freshbooks connects to another platform e.g. Hubspot.

It's does a wonderful job helping to keep track of all the outstanding bills of all of the clients that I have.

It is a great experience to manage our things with Freshbooks & it made our tasks more easier. Thanks team for the wonderful software.

So easy to set up and the customer service is awesome, they immediately helped me to fix issues.

What I love most is the standby customer service– it's really been helpful and effective.

Easy to use, it has integrations with PayPal among others. It has integrated time tracker and great support.

I also love how easy it is to maneuver through FreshBooks website. FreshBooks is also very affordable which makes it easy for me to focus on other details in my business.

There are a few features missing in the software compared to the other softwares.

It's been really great to get a quick glance whenever I log in of how many invoices I have outstanding and how much I'm billing clients throughout the year.

There are many integrations and excellent support that helps us with all issues.

The fact that the accounting software is one that helps in the smooth running of a business. It is very easy, secure and user friendly.

An excellent business tool and support. A great investment for smaller organizations.

I was frustrated when I was struggling to keep track of business. I didn't quite understand what I needed to do.

It's very cost effective. Good for small and mid-sized businesses who need a simple accounting alternative.

Ease of use is perfect and integrates easily on a website and setup is easy to setup and manage from one location.

There is so many features that any one at any level can use. The pricing options definitely made this a great purchase item to help my business.

I use it for invoicing, expenses, estimates, and tracking profits. The home UI is super fun to look at and easy to understand.

The personalization of contracts and some accounting errors are the example.
