Considered Both Products
Kickserv
Chose Kickserv
From the high end, with all the "bells and whistles" to the low end, "build it yourself" systems. Kickserv simply offered the best ROI when considering onboarding and training time, QB integration, and improved customer experience. Kickserv brings a lot of professionalism right …

I don't remember what we tried out 8 years ago, but KickServ suited us the best and still does
Chose Kickserv
It was pretty good. I think just the simplicity would make me choose this over something else that I have seen and used in the industry. I wish they would just address the issues noted.
Chose Kickserv
We looked at 8 different systems. This system is perfect for our small construction company. Everything else was too expensive, or too simple, or too complex.

Autotask has a sales team that can work with you to understand your specific business scenario. They have offered to scope an integration project with us. We are looking forward to making progress on a tailored solution with them.
Chose ServiceTitan
I haven't done product comparisons. ServiceTitan just had so many features we found helpful. From sales and job scheduling, to technician dispatching, to inventory tracking, to reporting and dashboards, to time cards, there was a lot that we were able to upgrade to with …
Chose ServiceTitan
No comparisons. Everyone tries to emulate Service Titan. Service Titan has had the best support. Service Titan also seems like they have a better development team to build out their product and listen to client feedback. Where that's helpful is that they're constantly pushing …
Chose ServiceTitan
We used Service Fusion for a few months just to get our feet wet in the digital world as we were hesitant to move away from paper processes. Service Fusion is a simpler program which may be good for some, but we needed more and ST offers all we need. (Of course, NO program is …
Chose ServiceTitan
We have used ServiceTitan since I have been in the industry, so I am not able to compare it to other software. From conversations with people in my network, I have heard that it is the most powerful, but also the most expensive.
Chose ServiceTitan
We used ESC for over 20 years. When they released FieldEdge, we gave it a try, but it fell short from our expectations. The software had a slow loading time and was not reliable. They were features in FieldEdge that I wish ServiceTitan had for sure, but the overall reliability …
Chose ServiceTitan
Service Titan has more functionality than most programs we have used. It brings all departments together in one spot and is a very clean concise program, the mobile app is better than the rest and easy to implement and train new employees on. It is also a cloud base and works …
Chose ServiceTitan
I don't recall the names of the other companies. I tried three. My main complaint was the inability to accommodate flat rate and track sold hours.

Likelihood to Recommend
We use KickServ for nearly every aspect of our operation and cannot think of a scenario when it is "inappropriate" or "less appropriate". It is the backbone of our operation and is used for everything from data gathering to estimates to invoices to payments and accounts receivables to reports to tracking to storage of photos and past invoices. Better searching abilities would be good instead of having to create tags for things we don't know we are going to need later.

ServiceTitan seems to be incredibly customizable depending on what is needed, and therefore I would recommend it in any case where customers and jobs are recorded and scheduled. It can be used in a variety of ways and has multiple functions, including revenue and inventory tracking. Whether a big or small company, I feel with proper training anyone could utilize ServiceTitan very effectively to improve both productivity and record-keeping.

Pros
  • Organization - keeps everything organized nicely and has several different filters that you can use to view only the information you need.
  • Simple website - this was important because you want it to load quickly when you are in the office and on the road.
  • Database - keeps track of the things that you enter. This is nice when trying to get information on a product or a price when requested by the customer.

  • Real-time tracking. The biggest problem in logistics in, my opinion, is knowing if your products are arriving on time or not especially as it pertains to food, that was huge here.
  • Most of our managers travel constantly from corporate to distribution because of how centralized the company is they needed something flexible that allowed them to run reports whenever and however.
  • Ease of use - I'll be honest in that our employees are not the cream of the crop as it pertains to their education, this software made the learning process simple.

Cons
  • Some of the reports are difficult for us to extract the data that we want. Sometimes I will get duplicated data, so I have to dump the files into Excel to make sure I've extracted any duplicates.
  • Never was able to log in to the Android App, so I just gave up and kept using the mobile browser based option.

  • We'd like to be able to text estimates (currently, email is the only function)
  • We'd like to have audit trails on Customer and Location records (currently only at the job level)
  • We'd like to be able to email/text the customer multiple options within estimates, like the techs can do on their tablet, it's just not a function that can be presented by the office.

Usability
It is intuitive enough, but there is some training that will be necessary because of a perceived redundancy within their workflow. It can be hard to distinguish which stage a customer is in (thus what the most important thing to be working on, if you are in sales, for instance) without some training.

I rarely run into any issues while using ServiceTitan other than the occasional scheduled maintenance. It is very intuitive and easy to learn, with many capabilities that can be suited to any job position in a business. The functions are consistent regardless of your department or use case, and can be easily customized to fit any and all of a company's needs.

Support Rating
Very good technical help. The team is well-versed in their product and what to look for, particularly when interacting with other software platforms. You nearly always get a live person when you call, and if you don't, they will return your call promptly. This is another factor in my client's decision to move forward with their solution.

Easier to use than Salesforce. More robust than Zoho. More functionality that is easier to learn than both.

Return on Investment
  • For companies in construction, worksite management, or piece-work or punch-list management needs who are currently running disparate, disconnected systems. Kickserv is among the best at getting them up to speed and running in an all-digital platform... fast.

  • We can more effectively retain customers and send them offers if it's been a while since their last visit.
  • Our cash flow has dramatically improved because now the technicians invoice everything.
  • We can get estimates out the door within the hour, not days later.
