Seeing the ratings for JobTread, specifically that it won for usability and customer satisfaction. Then watching some of the videos and getting familiar with the interface, I was able to see that these software engineers know what they’re doing and that we couldn’t go wrong with it.
Having a simple, well-thought-out program that helps us improve profitability!I thought I had a good solution before JobTread, but I always wondered if something more tailored to construction companies existed.It’s simplifying our business because it is helping us stay organized in general, track job costs IN REAL TIME, manage jobs, assign tasks to team members, schedule with gantt charts, and reduce email inbox since it comes with a customer portal (and a vendor portal). That means you can have unlimited customers in your database. Having one place to manage everything for the business is truly a dream.
Very hard to come up with anything negative, but the only improvement I see that might be made is that we have hundreds of customers in our kanban view and it takes a few extra seconds to search for specific customers. This isn’t a huge deal since it shows up, but the rest of the app is so snappy, it seems that they’ll need some technical change to address that UX loading fix.
Very labor intensive to set up
Not that far along
After 15 to 20 45 minute meetings they cut you off and give you (1) 45 minute meeting per week
Not enough time to figure this out lots of bells and whistle, hoops and hurdles ginme and gotchas
