Alloc8

Software allows better control of jobs from quoting to rostering, timesheets to payroll, then invoicing client, we enter every job as we get it and subsequently we have now stopped missing charging for jobs. Also ease of rostering staff.

Ability for staff to see more than 7 days ahead is a little bit of an issue for us at present. Takes a bit of work to get it all setup initially but well worth it.

Alloc8's Resource White Board is easy to use and provides a clear visual representation of upcoming jobs, their required resources, and the status of job acceptance. Each work ticket has space to include all relevant job details and can be easily sorted and filtered. The information is easily accessible for mobile users and an effective communication method between management and field workers.

Because alloc8 is relatively new, there seems to be a lot of functions (like calendar, timesheet management, contacts) that feel semi functional. For example, New Contact entries give the option to add a preferred name, however there is no function to set the contact's preferred name as their default screen name. It feels redundant to have such an option without any functionality. There are similar irritations scattered throughout the platform.

I love the flexibility and report features of the product. also, the Timecard feature works great and make lots less paperwork .

the limited forms that they provide. but make up for it in that you can create your own.
