"Genuine first time user of software. 1 Month's Experience."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Knowify?

The user friendly layouts are incredible. The integration with quickbooks is seamless and really simple to navigate. The organization of data is delightful to see everything in one place for each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowify?

The proposal part- for a software as advanced as Knowify, I am so shocked at the way proposals are handled. There should be a way to have multiple proposals for each job- with Different Revision Numbers for each time a revision is needed. This is crazy to me the process of making a revision on proposals. This should definitely be corrected.

Get a numbering system for the proposals and have an option for revisions where the previous proposal can still be referenced or easily accessible for editing. The saved copy thing in documents is strange and the whole process of revisions is very cumbersome for our business. Please do better!

We often revise our proposals and would really benefit from a easier process on that.

The app for the phones is buggy too. Why do i get a push notification on my phone saying i have been assigned a task, and when i click that option it takes me to the Knowify App, notifications tab, and there is nothing there. I do get an email, yes and I can close the notification tab and go to tasks-- but like why not just take me to the tasks section- its annoying to have to do that over and over. Please fix that to where the notification registers to the "notifications tab" or just route the click directly to tasks.

Invoicing- Is there a way to view invoices under the job file? That seems odd to me that it doesn't save it to the documents and we would have to upload it to knowify, when the invoice is already in the system. That seems like an extra unnecessary step. I know we can view them in the invoices section, but it would be easier to have it in the actual job file as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cameron Garrant of Knowify

James - thank you for the honest review and detailed feedback. I want you to know that we take this kind of feedback extremely seriously, and it's been passed on directly to our product team.

I am able to help directly with one of your requests here and now - "Invoicing- Is there a way to view invoices under the job file?"

A:There absolutely is! While in a contract job, if you navigate to the "Activity" tab, you are able to filter your view to be exclusively invoices, using the "view" drop-down. You're also able to look at specific date-ranges when in this view, and easily export the data.

I hope we can double-down on the good that Knowify has done for you, and continue to improve in a way that leaves you even more satisfied. Thank you again for the feedback!

"Great Experience with Quick and Friendly Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Knowify?

We’ve had a great experience using Knowify.

Their customer service is excellent, responses are always quick, and the team is consistently friendly and helpful whenever we need assistance. The platform is also easy to use, especially when it comes to creating and sending proposals. We haven’t encountered any major issues so far, aside from the tax dropdown when preparing proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowify?

There are still a few features that we’ve been hoping to see implemented for years, such as improvements to the sales tax section in proposals. It would be much easier if the tax options were sorted by city or state, or if there was a search bar or wildcard search to find what we need quickly, instead of scrolling through a long list.

Overall, Knowify has been reliable and user-friendly, with excellent support and just a few areas where additional functionality would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Issues getting Knowify to talk with QuickBooks sometimes, Limitations when you have multiple brands within one Entity, Duplications in processes(could have preloaded areas based on what you put on other areas, i.e. proposal work scope goes into work order tab), I wish it had a better Vehicle and Equipment section, Not a fan of the scheduling app, Mobile App is ok, Wish the CRM was a little more involved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Some changes to be made"
4/5
What do you like best about Knowify?

Very easy platform to use once you have gone through the training. I like to 10% holdback options that we are able to add to contracts. I like that is it easily synced with QuickBooks to be able to track materials against jobs and deal with the bookkeeping at the same time. Customer support is great as someone is always reposing in a timely fashion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowify?

-More reports such as WIP reports

- Wish that service jobs were still part of the base price instead of as an add on

- CRM built in

- I find that sometimes the tax does not match that of Quickbooks- therefore each invoice that I send I have to make sure the tax aligns in QB

"Great for Large Projects, But Short-Notice Scheduling Is Tough"
3/5
What do you like best about Knowify?

It was great for scheduling and managing large projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowify?

We found it extremely difficult to schedule jobs as they came in. Anything with short notice was more difficult than it needed to be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cameron Garrant of Knowify

Hi Robert - thanks for the review! I was looking back through your account and noticed you stopped using Knowify in January of 2024 - at LOT has changed since then, including the way we handle short-term jobs with Service Pro. I'd encourage you to give it another look if you're still managing both contract and service work!

"Knowify has been very helpful with our company's job cost tracking and invoicing."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Knowify?

Knowify has provided a good way to streamline tracking our employee's hours and receipts for job site material purchases. It has also be easy to use for sending invoices to clients and recording subcontractor's invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowify?

I would like to be able to create fixed price job and then add Time and Material change orders to it as the job progresses. We often have large jobs that are bid as fixed price jobs, but part way through the job the client will request some additional work that we just complete on a Time and Material basis.

Response from Cameron Garrant of Knowify

Herbert, thanks for the great feedback and for being a longtime Knowify user - I'm passing your feedback along to the product team. I hope we can continue to serve you well, and please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or additional ideas!

"Review for Forrest @ Knowify"
5/5
What do you like best about Knowify?

I feel I'm too new of a user to answer this yet, but so far very easy to use. Also, support is excellent, they answer any questions right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowify?

When I first spoke with Knowify, I felt that some of the information I was given wasn’t entirely accurate. For example, I was told that the invoice template could be customized in any way I wanted and that all project-related information would automatically transfer over. In reality, the process turned out to be more complex than it was initially made to seem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Knowify is a game changer for our company"
5/5
What do you like best about Knowify?

1. Job Costing information and how it's displayed. We can see at a glance how we are doing at any point in the job.

2. Integration with QuickBooks. QuickBooks doesn't have the job costing abilities we needed, but we need to use it for our accounting.

3. The Support Team - There was quite a learning curve for us because we had been using an antiquated system. We had also been doing things in an old way. Our Knowify Coach helped us identify some of those things and showed us easier ways to run our business.

4. Knowify has customized templates and helped us with our internal workflows to be more efficient.

5. Once we have been trained and have been using it for awhile, it's easy to use. It took us a while to really understand, but that's expected when starting a new system.

6. The training and support team have been been available for any training session we've needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowify?

There was a report I wanted, but it couldn't be done. I'd still like to be able to run a phase report for specific time periods without having to download it and sort it by date and then delete the dates that I don't want.

However, my team did explain to me that most people just look at the percentage done and use that for invoicing. But, sometimes, you just need to be able to double check things by date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you Cindy! Appreciate all the kind words and detailed feedback.
