There have been many technical issues with Successware and they make it hard to do my job well. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emeri F. | Customer Care Representative, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2022 **What do you like best about Successware?** Very up-to-date, refreshes often so I never miss anything. It's also very easy to efficiently dispatch our techs. **What do you dislike about Successware?** Maybe just that the cancel reason box for cancelling calls does not update the original call's notes. **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lately, Successware is causing more problems than solving. ### 2. Good Bones, Good People, Dated UI **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matthew U. | Director of Technology, Construction, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Successware?** SuccessWare21 has a great staff. I've never felt more at ease with the support, software engineers, and account managers than I have with any other software. They feel like a mom and pop software company when in reality they are behind the scenes on hundreds of millions of dollars at construction service companies around the United States. Surprising to me (for reasons I'll get into later), there are many integrations that work well with SuccessWare21 and I've had very little reason to interact with the integrations after implementation: they just work. **What do you dislike about Successware?** This is a review of Successware "Classic." The UI was bad. I mean really bad. SuccessWare21 looked like it was from the Windows 95/98 era and it was a bad impression during every onboarding. Since changing CRM software they've given a fresh coat of paint to the UI and it looks immediately more palatable. Long overdue. **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** Invoicing, inventory, customer management, contract managament. Successware is a full service quite that doesn't require separate softwares to run your business. It used to be outsourced for their mobile platform but that has been finally moved in-house. ### 3. Everything we need in one place **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Successware?** Puts all aspects of our business in one place. Allows us to be mobile but connected via the software and successware mobile **What do you dislike about Successware?** My accountant is not familiar with the program and that limits what she can do and help with in the accounting side **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** Invoices get done same day. Ability to upload pictures to the job ticket so we can see work done and make more suggestions to the customer. ### 4. Easy to Use & Quick to Respond if you have Questions! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shelly C. | Client Care Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Successware?** I love how easy Successware is to use. The lessons are helpful for training, the support videos are easy to follow and if you can't figure out how to do what you want from that, the support staff on the phone are extremely responsive and helpful! **What do you dislike about Successware?** Nothing, I find this program extremely easy to follow. The only thing I would recommend is more autosaving rather than having to hit a button. **Recommendations to others considering Successware:** Call Successware to get a demo. You can always ask to see if you can shadow an office already using the software to show you how they interact with the software! **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don't have problems with Successware that I haven't already found a solution to. The benefits to using Successware are that you can pull a marketing list from any search, you can set reminders to help you sell more work later and if there is something you think would make the program run smoother, you have an amazing support staff who considers your feedback when updating the software. ### 5. Successware is Great **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mayci D. | Dispatcher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Successware?** There are several color options to choose to zone out your customer base. Taking payments is simple. It's easy to run reports for different departments. **What do you dislike about Successware?** Only being to have just three people open at a time. Only one person can be in an account at a time. The reoccurring job feature is unhelpful. **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** There are no problems at this time. ### 6. The Buffet of Software **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Madi L. | Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Successware?** The best thing about Successware is that it eliminates the need for multiple programs. You can timekeep, track inventory, job cost, track phone calls, process payments/invoices, process payroll, dispatch, do all your accounting, etc. Like I said, it's the buffet of software. **What do you dislike about Successware?** Really, the only thing not to like about Successware is that it is reminiscent of Windows 98 in appearance. Very gray and dull. Although, Successware is about to do a huge facelift that will remedy that so.. no complaints here! **Recommendations to others considering Successware:** Just go for it! And when you do, take the time to set everything up correctly and keep everything consistent as far as the nomenclature. It will be worth your while and make everything easier in the future and as you grow. **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** As previously mentioned, you can do pretty much everything in SW. So we solve any issues with our technicians maybe not performing like normal- we can go look and see what kind of calls their running, how long it took them, whether they did the required paperwork (by looking in client accounts for pictures of the paperwork), etc. so we can see any patterns and areas where we need to make changes or do more training. That just really scratches the surface. The benefits are more than I could count on my fingers and toes. ### 7. Successware is the best software out there for contractors to be using! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Successware?** I as the owner and daily user would highly recommend Successware! We have had nothing but success with this program. From training, to support everyone has been great! Do not understand why other companies would move over to other competitors and have a much more expensive cost when Successware does it all in one! We are extremely excited for G2 to come out and enjoy the more user friendly and tracking features. **What do you dislike about Successware?** Nothing to dislike. Wish these updates would have come sooner **Recommendations to others considering Successware:** Do it! It does all you need and then some! **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** No problems at this time, Benefits would be the newest updates and the updates to come ### 8.

Works great for us! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stacy J. | Controller, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Successware?** It's all in one for us- I don't have to use both QuickBooks and a scheduling software each month- from the call to the production of financials- it's an all in one solution **What do you dislike about Successware?** still need to use excel sometimes to really analyze the data for multi-stage jobs **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** upgrading from a very old system, and now all our tech and warranty specialist are on on tablets, we are virtually paperless. ### 12. More customer service & tech prep help/viewing upcoming calls needed. **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Facilities Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Successware?** My boss loves the financial strengths of the software but as the main customer service/scheduling person I am not totally impressed with it. **What do you dislike about Successware?** > The lack of communication options with customers (Would love to have txt msg system in place and confirmation of schedule time slot for call). > Also NEEDS to allow the field techs to SEE upcoming schedule if we want so they can have parts needed on hand for them whether same or next day! Happy to talk further with you about any of this. **Recommendations to others considering Successware:** Sample ease or lack of ease in daily use before committing to it. **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** Need quicker more available customer support services (for PST customer support) and people who can easily teach/communicate remotely to help us when we have questions or problems. Tiffany Kern was GREAT at that particular need but apparently left the company. Have also had some that were not at all helpful, patient or able to teach in the process of taking our calls and inquiries (Jennifer, Bree) . ### 13. Great Software but needs a few updates. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Successware?** I love the reports, I love being able to track the history and that tech are able to see it. I love the customer service we get from successware. The reps are quick and extremely pleasant. **What do you dislike about Successware?** I don't like that there is no picture option for the office staff without downloading dropbox or company cam. I also wish we had a text option when dispatching techs to customers. Most people look at their texts immediately where they only look at emails every 30 - 60 minutes. Can we please get a over under report option? (similar to job cost) and not have to set up "projects" through project manager ? Also, there needs to be a progressive billing option for new construction jobs with phases. There isn't one or we have not spoken to anyone who is familiar with how to do it. I would love to see a fresher looking screen as well. **What problems is Successware solving and how is that benefiting you?** More detailed reports, and seeing where we are losing money as well as if we are billing the correct amount. ### 14.

Many of our customers have multiple systems with advanced systems in place.
