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.

Housecall is perfect for the non technical company that needs simplicity and effectiveness.

Housecall Pro helps facilitate the scheduling, dispatching and invoicing of all our customers. Easy to use and it is nice to have a data base, historical record of each customer to easily go back to.

No real problems but the interface is kind of boring. But that is just being nitpicky.

IT's been great the staff is very help the training is great and everyone is helpful and friends.

I like ease of use, price and the great customer service & support. I had looked at & tried other software but this one fit all of my needs.

I love the email automation. I set up follow up emails to customers after a certain amount of time and the return has been awesome.

Great company and all employees are super helpful and nice. They respond quickly even in the evenings and weekends when there is a major issue.

It is easy to use and they have nice features just like other good dispatching softwares.

Users on Facebook complained the software lags and cannot find customers in database for 5 minutes because of the the large number of customers in their system.

So far I love how easy it has been to use and the support is absolutely amazing. Its so nice to know when I am out in the field I can manage everything from my app.

HCP is the best software for a great price to help our continued growth and success.

Ease of use and integration of all aspects of a service driven business. Communication with customers is smooth and flawless.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND house call pro!!! Revenue is up over 200% and makes it so easy to track conversions. Estimates and invoicing is so easy and seamless.

Interface with Quickbooks is great - when there is any kind of integration problem, I get the notification and it tells me what I need to do to resolve. The support team has been awesome throughout.

Customer Service is outstanding and tech support is the best. This is a very professional group of people that really care about their customers.

My business just keeps on growing and with all the integration with other apps, it helps you get the jobs done and keeps your customer smiling even after you left.

Great experience, user friendly for my technicians out in the field, lots of features for tracking information - so far so good - love the software.

We really like that they automate so many features for you. Their online support is phenomenal, it seems like they really are looking out for your business.

They exemplify the idea that if their clients are successful then their business is successful.

I can go on and on and the best part is it is so easy to learn and use. The customer service is outstanding.

Great platform, great customer service, and easy to use. Perfect for small business.

When the system goes down we are lost until it comes back up. This has only happened a few times in the last few years though.

I appreciate the constant growth and expansion. Always looking to customers for a better experience.

Its easy to use, frequent updates and new features, extremely helpful customer service, Great Facebook community to help each other, its worth every penny.

I love the integration with the other platforms I use for my business. Scheduling and communication with my clients is fantastic.

I truly enjoy using this software and enjoy the ease of transferring from my previous way of servicing clients.

I am the kind of person who thrives on improvement. This company has been quite timely in their approach to ease of use and customer satisfaction.

The experience that I have with House pro is amazing what i love is if I have any question someone is always there to help.

We lost some higher end functions in the software switch. We lost the multiple option quotes (housecall already resolved this now).

Has to be close to the worst interfaces for a company just because of the lack of customer support.

Fantastic software that is produced by a company that is very responsive and engaged with customers.

Their customer service is great, there is always someone willing to help me when I get in a jam and need help quickly. The software is easy to use and learn.
