What do you like best about AkitaBox?

The platform - specific details of issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkitaBox?

Takes awhile for personnel to tend to issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AkitaBox solving and how is that benefiting you?

When personnel takes care of requests it is good. The platform is very specific and thorough in the information it asks for in order for the task to be tended to and taken care. However, though I have not tried to see, does Akita Box have an app? If there is an issue, we usually scan the QR code and input the information. However, sometimes, an issue arises where persons may not be close to a QR code to input information that is needed. Also, when a person veers off the site to maybe answer their phone, when returning back to the sight, the information that was input is now gone and it is hard to retrieve.

What do you like best about AkitaBox?

I like the AB capability to store a lot of information about an asset or workorder. It has a lot of great features for example one can print out weekly work schedules, one can upload pictures, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkitaBox?

It's a web-based system and it takes several seconds to load or process click commands. It's very slow and when using it on a mobile phone, it's even slower. The fonts size of the system are very slow and the emails it sends to requestors are not easy to read. Service requestors often miss our messages. Perhaps if the messages were a different font color they would stand out and be read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AkitaBox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking of workorders and capturing data about workorders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have a dislike about the website. So far my experience has been great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AkitaBox solving and how is that benefiting you?

AkitaBox has helped me solve maintenance issues around my school. Whenever a student would bring issues in the restroom to my attention, I made sure that they were solved quickly so they could have access to use what they need. I would also use AkitaBox whenever I needed supplies in my room or there was an issue with furniture. This app really helped me take care of what I needed quickly and maintenance was always quick to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AkitaBox?

AkitaBox is easy to use and there is no confusion about what is needed when you put in a request. The people replying to issues know exactly what is wrong and where the issue is and it helps them get there quickly to solve the problem when needed. There are so many options to choose from when selecting the problem, you don't have to worry about the wrong person showing up to correct the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkitaBox?

You don'l always know when someone has seen the problem or how long it will take to correct it. Even though our staff is amazing and comes quickly without hesitation, you aren't given an actual day and time they will show up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AkitaBox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Issues with floors or air conditioning is usually when I put in a request. Hot Houston days can be absolutely miserable if someone isn't working to make sure the air is working in the classrooms all the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AkitaBox?

The most helpful part about AkitaBox is that we create air building in the system. I like that I can go in and look to see where the plumbing, electrical, room numbers and so on, are at in the building. I also like that, AkitaBox stores all information so you can go back to one work order or go to a building and see everything that has happened in that building regardless if the ticket was canceled or completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkitaBox?

There are two things I dislike about AkitaBox. 1. when you put messages in AkitaBox on a work order or service request you are not notified that a message was put in. In the past, we used a different system and when any messages was put into that system an email was generated to all that was on the work order. In order to see a message on a ticket you have to go in pull the ticket up and read the message. Our maintenance staff does not sit at a desk throughout the day so having a notification that a message was sent Would help with communication. 2. There's no app for AkitaBox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AkitaBox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping everything in one location. We love that the floorplans, fire extinguishers, etc. all can be seen by pulling it up in a key box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Along with an easy-to-learn layout and system, AkitaBox also makes it 5 times easier to know what needs to get done and provide information on necessary tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally I have experienced brief delays or stalls, but never anything more. I'm not even sure it is on the site's side, and may be just a internet problem on my end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use AkitaBox to figure out tasks and maintaining that needs to be completed. AkitaBox eliminates the need for me to discuss or discover these tasks or problems in person, instead allowing me to find out all I need after a few quick button taps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AkitaBox?

What I liked best about Akita Box was that teachers were simply able to scan the QR code, reach the desired request and submit within a few steps. This process was very easy and we appreciated having the simplicity of making requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AkitaBox?

The only thing we disliked sometimes was being able to always the access the QR code. There were times when it was down for maintenance and there was no other way to submit requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AkitaBox solving and how is that benefiting you?

Emails can get lost in the shuffle and being able to house all requests in one space was the most beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
