Any one use this?

Was that software created in the 90's?

I looked through the website and it appears to offer all the basics of good software but the requirements for hardware to run their mobile product is highly suspicious:
"OS: Mobile 5 or 6/Pocket PC 2002 or 2003 (not Palm OS or Blackberry), however, QXpress Mobile is not compatible with certain Palm Treo Pocket PCs. Recommended 64mb of RAM (at least 32mb is required) Hardware sold separately. Not compatible with Windows 7 phones. "

I'm looking pretty closely at fieldaware which probably blows this one out of the water. Cheaper even if you have one user.

I'll check this trial out when I get a chance but I think that cloud based programming is the way to go. Microsoft access based programs just aren't cutting it anymore.

I am trying the trial. The staff has been exceedingly helpful in the process. I haven't gotten into it yet but over the next week i'll input some dummy info and then run some duplicate data with the crews to see how they like it. I know it will be better than AG but the price tag is tough to swallow. I think that it would be a great tool to grow the business and likely pay for the difference.

I've looked at several other options for software and so far field aware has looked most beneficial. Looks better than real green and several others whose names i can't remember.

I think that service industry software like all these are changing quickly and likely in a year or two, a couple software packages will pull ahead and become obvious choices, like quickbooks is to small business accounting. Might be worth waiting, i'd hate to choose the wrong software and have them go out of business in two or three years.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Am I wrong or is field aware 50-70 a month? I think that is super reasonable. Arborgold is like 3K just to get started and their mobile app is another thousand and 600 a year per user.
 
Intuit is known for producing practical software with low hardware overhead. Those requirements are probably legit.

I haven't used the scheduling software though.
 
Field aware is $50-70 per user. If you are managing three crews and have an office staff, that's five users. $3k per year. Ag may be that much to startup but it's less annually.

3 k for software that does all that fieldaware claims is not so bad. Imagine being able to store a before and after image of every tree you prune for years? There is a big value I. That.

Maybe I'm Just working on convincing myself that fieldaware is worth the cabbage.

What are you using right now?

Im using quickbooks and thats about it. I am a very small operation so I would only need one subscription possibly two for field aware. Thats why the cost doesn't bother me all that much. My only problem is that it isn't totally geared towards our industry.
