Amazing for booking jobs. Super easy to use.

This program is used by the nonprofit organization where I work to keep track of and follow up with individuals who are curious about what we do. It's really straightforward to use once you know what functions are available. I spend the entire day on and off OctopusPro, and occasionally I have to train my teammates on its use. When someone new enters your pipeline, the automations make it simple to get in touch with your network. That relieves me of one task while maintaining a personal touch with the recipient of the email or text.

OctopusPro is a cloud-based service management software with everything you need to run a mobile business. We’ve been able to track leads, manage invoices, and streamline communication between our dispatch team and mobile cleaners. It's helped reduce admin costs and boost repeat business. The support team has been responsive, and onboarding was relatively smooth.
