We love the program and its ease of use
We love the program and its ease of use but because of restraints within the invoicing and scheduling feature, we have had to move away from the program. The invoices, though able to produce a lump sum invoice to clients does not allow the same for internal reports. A single invoice to a customer may have 6-7 segments in our reports. This makes any type of remit payment near impossible to track. The scheduling feature is also rigid. If a one day project extends into three, it does not allow us to expand the job, instead we have to open a new project. This makes time tracking and reporting extremeley tedious
Does not let us add many jobs/location to one customer
When we started with Housecall Pro we had some issues with some of our larger customers having many jobs or locations for us to come out to. But once we got past that it has been working fine.
Our office is not the biggest fan of their support team as we wish they were a bit more helpful for us.
I would say Housecall Pro is more for the smaller companies and the affordable price seems to go with that. Once we got past the programs hiccupps it has been worth the price so far.
Pros
Simple to use Affordable and does what we want it to
Cons
Does not let us add many jobs/location to one customer

Amazing all in one platform for running a service provider company
Amazing all in one platform for running a service provider company. Easy to use and organized. HCP literally has everything you need from start to finish. If there was one thing that’s missing it is a phone system. Something for tracking/ recording calls and customizing phone number & extentions, etc.
Pros
The best of everything for running a business in one place. I would recommend a better, more customizable email automation & phone system.
Cons
Possibly an extra user to have access to HCP email for dispatching, scheduling, and monitoring certain things.

We love the ability to track invoices and have automated follow up
The software allows greater efficiency by alleviation of needless paperwork and tracks every customer’s history which allows our company to provide greater customer service and send estimates efficiently.
Pros
We love the ability to track invoices and have automated follow up for every customer.

Estimate section could use a bit of work. Estimates for us do not need to be scheduled as we send them via email but if you don't schedule them they continue to show up as needing attention.
