FieldRoutes vs. Mhelpdesk

We found that it works well for most of our needs. It is user-friendly and easy to use for both the office staff and the field staff. One problem that they have not been able to fix is for the field technicians to take credit cards in the field. We tried the beta program and unloaded and reloaded the software on the iPads, and we still have that problem.

Mhelpdesk is perfect for smaller companies and mid-sized companies I would say. Larger companies may need something a little more advanced for lack of better words or able to handle thousands upon thousands of constant work orders, etc. Smaller companies or companies that are mid-size would benefit from this program the most as it provides the necessary programming to succeed along with its ease of use.

• I spoke about reporting, perhaps they can make this system a little better by integrating new ways to report, perhaps even several options .
• The mobile app sometimes lags which can cause a few issues, nothing too major however.
• Although the customer support provided by Mhelpdesk is relatively great, there have been times when things go unsolved or not taken care of within the amount of time needed.

This software is great for both my in house techs and my onsite techs.

It works well for most of what we need. It integrates well w/ quickbooks. We would like to see it integrate w/ outlook.

There is no comparison. ServSuite's mobile app was a complete joke and PestPac felt like it was built in the 90s... To train people in either software to be proficient took weeks. You can train in FieldRoutes in a couple of days. The software is intuitive and functions well with low downtime.

When we first started using Mhelpdesk, RepairShopr was just a blip on our radar and didn't have the feature-set that Mhelpdesk did. RepairShopr looked great, but the Mhelpdesk had a lot more features. Every 6 months or so, I'd check on RepairShopr and it was growing fast and adding new features all the time. After a few years - the difference was night and day so we switched to RepairShopr and it's been a much better fit for our business.

• Increased our online payments by 400% in the first month
• Saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars of labor and gas
• Increased our route efficiency by 20%

• We are 6 months into it with a 50% rollout completed. We need more time to pass and full rollout to be completed before making a hard statement as to the ROI.
• We have already seen greater efficiency in dispatching techs in regards to how many projects per day may be handled (we know of their downtime) and travel time mangement (by being able to map the locations and track them easier).
• No negative impacts on ROI have yet to be seen nor are they projected.
