extreemly intuitive and adaptable

I love it. It was just what this franchise needed. I see how I have been loosing jobs because i was loosing leads. now with everything from lead to payment in one place it is much easier. Again as stated above the only downside is the Quivckbooks on line glitches.

PROS

It was very easy to learn for both myself and my techs. It is also the type of product that you can easily customize and there is enough room in the software to hack out some easy procedures that you might need. eg I needed a way to tell a tech to pick up materials and where to get them but that is not a customer and is really not in line with what they software was meant to do . Yet after a few chats with tech support we came up with an easy way to create a customer called Technician Assignment, then if I need them to do something I give that customer a job , say pick up sheet metal, it shows up on their phone just like a service job. The fact that the software gave me enough wiggle room to customize that with all the funtionality it already has was very impressive.

CONS

We are still having some issues with the interface with quickbooks although I am not sure if the problem is servicebridge or the franchise i belong too. When you have something like service bridge interfacing with quickbooks which is interfacing with your bank whichis interfacing with you banks on line and mobile options there is alot that can get mucky. If I was not in a franchise I would keep service bridge and quickbooks separate.

FORGET IT !!!!!! NO CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HORRIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!DONT DO IT !!!!!

PROS

great software!! well, the software itself is great, the people behind the software are not very helpful, they will be quick to jump at the chance to take your money but if you need something for them. expect to jump thru hoops. they are rude and slick out the mouth. my staff told me but I did not believe it ... until I had to experience it for myself.

CONS

Buyer beware... they do not care about you. if you have a problem you will be emailing back and forth with them there is not such thing as a phone number you can call and speak to someone, I was planning of moving from Service CEO to service bridge ... But the only thing they are is a bridge... there is no SERVICE FORGET IT!

Growing Pains

ServiceBridge has helped us overcome many of the field service issues we were experiencing before going digital. The software works nicely on the iPads in the field by allowing us to attach notes, custom fields, pictures, diagrams, and so much more. Jobs can be clocked in and out in the field and the customer can sign the estimate on the spot right on the iPad. The biggest challenges we faced all had to do with matching our workflow with their software or vice versa. The ability to schedule work crews, for example, was something completely to inept to use in the beginning. We had to use an additional CRM called ServiceCEO to get what we needed on the scheduling side. Through continual pressure, the ServiceBridge team finally added the robust scheduling ability to their software. Another huge missing piece was their Open APIs. The software only started using Rest APIs in 2016, something that was a staple in many of the competitor's SaaS platforms. ServiceBridge excels at being a field service digital solution, in that it provides a great instant sales and field service solution for our field teams. What it does in field service point of sale, it lacks in CRM. Getting a simple confirmation on an estimate is a matter of emailing a separate email entirely as there is no digital signing portal connected to a hosted estimate. As far as being a CRM, it is not that of any flavor and needs an additional SaaS platform to help it out. The reporting, although robust and easy to customize, still lacks a few cohesive elements that exist in other CRMs. Attaching a CRM to ServiceBridge requires hiring a third-party developer to create the hooks. Since their API only became open in 2016, there are zero public APIs created and zero mainstream CRM software platforms working with them. The cost of the service is in the upper range of field service software costs. Some more robust alternatives exist in the same price ballpark.

PROS

Great at creating digital estimates for a point of sale and creating a record of notes, pictures, and service times.

CONS

For an emerging technology, there are a lot of missing features for the price tag. ServiceBridge needs to lower their costs on their software until they have more robust features that make it marketable for the cost.

Great Customer Service

we have been with ServiceBridge since they were tied to CEO, the customer service is great, they work to try to include features we have requested

PROS

Ease of use

CONS

would like to see the carry over to QuickBooks, sometimes the information we enter in service bridge does not carry over to QuickBooks or reverts back to what we changed it from. Would love if we could add the class in the final invoice production with out having to click the edit button on just a drop down in the field itself.

Vendor Response

Hi Sara, Thank you for your feedback! We really pride ourselves on providing an application that is easy to use, yet powerful - and backing that with great customer support. We only succeed when our customers do! Regarding your note on purchase orders, we're going to be introducing new functions for purchase orders and PO integration with Quickbooks this year! Your account executive, Kevin, will reach out when this new feature starts to roll out and will make sure we get you set up with it at the first available opportunity. We really appreciate your feedback and are always welcome to ideas on how we can improve our software even further. We have a part of our site dedicated to new feature ideas at https://support.servicebridge.com/hc/en-us/community/topics/200173580-Feature-Requests - let us know if you have additional ideas for features.
