Mhelpdesk vs. Salesforce Field Service

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.

Salesforce Field Service is a powerful and feature-rich solution for managing field service operations. With AI-driven scheduling, seamless mobile access for technicians, and deep integration with the Salesforce ecosystem, it helps businesses enhance efficiency, improve customer satisfaction, and optimize service delivery. While it may be costly and complex to implement, its scalability and ability to grow with your business make it a worthwhile investment for many organizations.

• 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.

• ClickSoftware Mobile Workforce Management is very scalable to meet the scheduling demands of any size organization
• ClickSoftware Mobile Workforce Management is very customizable to the needs and requirements of any service organization
• ClickSoftware Mobile Workforce Management allows an organization to plan and adjust to the service business changes in demand.

• 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.

• License could be less pricier esp. the dispatcher license
• Restricted workflows and data visibility, along with slow performance can complicate the experience for the technician
• Since we use devices primarily for this like Ipad and Android devices, the mobile app needs to be improved which crashes often

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

As of right now there is not a alternative that seems to offer all of the functionality with a vision of what is needed in the future. It is my belief that ClickSoftware will remain a leader in Mobile Workforce Management for a long time.

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

Having a program that gives sales leaders a real time view was game changing. Time was always an issue because there wasn't always a sales leader available for closing sales. This has allowed for any sales leader to jump in and help make the sale without the need to do a warm transfer.

Overall the training was quite informative but did lack detail in some areas. It had all of the necessary content for an experience product user but didn't offer enough information for a new user to complete the training and then feel comfortable in real-world situations running or managing the software. I would recommend this course for anyone with at least 1 year of full-time exposure to the ClickSchedule product.

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 selected the Salesforce Field Service Lightning because we are already using Salesforce as a CRM and Salesforce Field Service Lightning is best suited to it so that's why we picked it We also have seen some reviews and Field Service is far better than others and its service is also very good according to its reviews

• 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.

Incentivized

• Negative: Complication to use so we are using time up and employee salary to learn
• Negative: We had to hire someone to create and automate our workflows
• Pro: Integrates quickly and easy with Salesforce CRM which helps us to keep track of customer, reseller information so we can see where we need to improve on sales
