Method:Field Services Review
We reviewed Method mainly for it’s integration with Quickbooks. However once we really got into the software, we found it very complicated. It would have been impossible to get our entire team trained on the system at a level that we were confident they could independently use the software They also allowed little to no custoization. We were already on the fence but then once we got to the pricing conversation, we had to rule them out. Their pricing, per user, was hefty compared to other solutions we were reviewing.
Integrate with QB and easy to use
After looking at a few programs we ended up going with Method: Field Services. We really liked how it was easily able to integrate with QuickBooks.
We also liked that they had a field tech app that allows our guys in the field to use their phones.
All-in-all, the program was easy to use affordable and is able to connect our office to our field guys.
Pros
Application for our field guys Integration with QuickBooks
Method has reduced my admin work by 80%
I realized that [in order] to move forward, I needed a program that I could design my way and that connected to my accounting data.
After six months of searching, Method:CRM was the way up. The program lit a fire in me to get myself back into business.
In less than five minutes after speaking to a customer, they have an email with all the necessary information, including the estimate complete with project phases, cost breakdowns for each phase, and the required down payment.
With Method, my sales process is so hyper-efficient that I now close 95% of my sales. Method has reduced my admin work by 80% and gives me insightful business reports in less than a minute.
The grid [I created] has buttons for [each of my] vendors. When I press a vendor button, the check-marked materials are generated into a report, which is then automatically faxed to the vendor – all without being connected to a fax machine. This whole process takes less than a minute.
