Mhelpdesk vs. OctopusPro

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.

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.

• Mhelpdesk allows our sales staff to create estimates and invoices in the field without the connectivity headaches of Quickbooks online products.
• It allows us to track the status of our projects from initial customer contact through completion.

• Better user interface
• Better Experience
• Impressive Integration

• 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.

• They are great software company

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.

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.

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.

• 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.
