Since incorporating Commusoft in to our business in 2012, the software has assisted us greatly in developing and growing as a business. They are constantly working on new updates and developments to improve the software and add new features and if you do have any issues along the way, they are always on hand to assist you with client support.
Pros
It covers almost everything we need from the diary, invoicing, estimating and key reporting.
Cons
Integration (transfer of date) with Sage can be problematic. It wasn't always problematic but has been more recently.

When you first start you should be given more one to one help, then mistakes wouldn't happen.
Bit disappointed with the diary and other features, cant understand why I've not been set up on the new system yet which looks a lot better.
Seem to be having lots of problems with the two systems together quick books and commusoft.
Pros
Customer data base, quick to find out what you have done at a property,
Cons
need more training on how to use the software, now ive been using it a while, I'm sure there is plenty of bits I'm not using that I could be using
Response from Commusoft
Hi Martin, we appreciate users have different roles/skills within a business, so we provide users access to our knowledge base which contains videos/guides about how to use the system.
We have training programmes for 1-2-1 training, walking clients through the system and provide consultation on how to adhere to best practises when using the system. Let me know if you want more details.
I've checked with the technical team regarding QB and cannot see open tickets with you on this, please email [email protected] who will be happy to help.
As much as we would love to have all our clients on the new version, the process is not a simple software upgrade and much more like moving from one software to another. This means the process is longer and more complex. We¿ve already started migrating clients as part of the beta program so we can make sure we are ticking all the boxes as your data is important to us, as it is to you.

Pros
Love this software, we upgraded to commusoft from cheaper alternatives and will stick with commusoft. All engineers love the app, Far easier for everyone to use. Can store photos/videos/certificates on each job. Estimating/invoicing great too. Also great integration with accounting software
Cons
Only thing I would love is a refresh button on the app, as there can be a slight lag sometimes.

Positive so far, I have only just started but have used the software with a previous company and wasn't disappointed. It's full of features, some I wont need to use yet but nice to know they're there.
Pros
Building estimates using templates in order to reduce time spent writing up
Cons
Estimate and invoice looks and layouts cannot be personalised very much but it does the job.

Using Commusoft as a Property Maintenance firm.
Reviewed on 2024/03/04
Pros
The ease of scheduling jobs for our engineers.
The system allows our engineers to have the Commusoft app on their phones to see their diaries and fill out job updates for the team in the office to have all in one place.
We can then send out job reports and invoices from the Commusoft system straight to clients.
Cons
Storage issues arise from time to time which require us to individually go into old jobs and delete pictures/videos.

Pros
Very easy to use, store all the info a business like ours could need, integrates with Xero and Stripe which save us lots of time, no need for any paperwork, could not live without it.
Cons
Only minor annoyances.... Doesn't seem to work well on mac (home computer) not sure if this is my computer though or if I'm doing something wrong but it has lots of buttons missing and only half a screen etc... the engineers complain about the app sometimes, the diary being on the complete wrong day, I have noticed its a lot better since it has been updated. It takes 4 clicks to print 1 invoice! You cant amend service sheets from the office, I understand why but its very annoying when they have done one mistake like not clicked rented. You cant see feedback on the diary when you hover over each job, you have to type in every job number into another tab as when you click view job from the diary you loose your dairy day so have to keep going clicking back to the diary, please let us see feedback from the diary when you hover over the event. This is one of my biggest hates about commusoft, when you open the side bar eg view diary event from the job page, if you want to close that side panel this comes up, and you have to click this to close it, really hate this. Are you sure you want to close side panel? Yes No, it would be so much better it you could just click off it like you can when you open a service cert, you can view it then click the main page and it just closes (emails do it as well, really annoying)

The best CRM for plumbing and heating engineers

I have used Commusoft for 8 years. Very few problems. Their support ticket system works very well. Our customers are impressed with the detailed job reports, record keeping, invoices, service reminders and automated communications. I am not the most organised person so without this I would be lost. We have records of every visit, quote, invoice and part fitted for every customer over the last 8 years. It takes time to use but it’s worth it.
Pros
Detail of record keeping such as appliance, stop cock and gas meter location.
Integrates with Xero very well for invoices, debtors etc.
Detailed reporting for sales, profit and engineer performance.
Sending service reminders and booking confirmations by SMS or email.
Let’s customer know when the engineer is on their way.
Uploading images and files to the job.
Adding and saving parts to the job.
Digital safety certificates, service/commissioning records, job reports, invoices and statements.
Engineer job questions when they arrive or leave. For example “what parts did you use, have you put a sticker on the boiler”.
Cons
It is not the quickest to use but it is continually improved so I am sure they will make it more efficient to use.

Small business game changer
Reviewed on 2021/09/01
Pros
We have used Commusoft for over 10 years now and it has changed the way we work. Job records for all our clients helps our engineers with technical history when they are on site; helps the office team manage estimating, invoicing and reporting; which ultimately benefits our clients.
Cons
It doesn't always do what you need it to do but you have a direct route to raise issues and requests for software changes but they do not always happen quickly.

Our experience with Commusoft has been first class in all aspects including the informative and comprehensive documents provided to help with the migration to the new version and the brilliant software. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Commusoft to anyone looking for a fantastic, easy to use system with plenty of functionality!
Pros
We have recently upgraded to the most recent version of Commusoft and absolutely love it! The software is very user friendly for both office staff and engineers. There is a lot more functionality within the new version which makes everything much easier and quicker. We were a bit apprehensive about making the leap to the new version however the support we have received in both the pre and post migration calls and the training calls has been absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have wished for more!
Cons
There is nothing about the new version of commusoft that we don't like and we can't wait to keep discovering all the new features and learning how to get the best from the software (all of which is provided by the amazing support team).

Saves us time which obviously saves money
Customer communication with regard to jobs/diaries is more up to date
Easy to use app
Great training
Pros
After extensive research into various job management software we found that a lot of software which looked good on the surface was actually only good for basic functions and once you started looking more in depth it became clear that they were built for smaller business with only a couple of staff. Commusoft was very different, yes it looks good on the surface and does the basic functions BUT more importantly it also has much more in depth and comprehensive performance in the background. It enables diaries to be updated easily and quickly with full details, it enables text/email messages to both engineers and customers. The customer intergrations from Xero worked smoothly and the link works well.
We now also use it for tracking vehicles and it has saved us money from the seperate tracking software we used to use.
With any software there are also things that we would like improved and any comments and improvements suggested are email in and the staff behind the scenes as such seem to welcome these and put them in the mix for potential updates in the future.
Cons
The next package up is more expensive BUT does allow for auto input of suppliers invoices, we would like an option of having this available for office staff without increasing the monthly price for engineers who only have app access and engineer capabilities on the app so never use some of the brilliant features of the software.

Excellent Customer Management Tool
Reviewed on 2020/12/22
Pros
Although Commusoft has been used by our company for a few years, I have only used it in the last 4 months. I find the software very intuitive. If I struggle to find out if something can or can't be done my first point of contact is the help section. This is great as you often come across things that you hadn't thought about yet and implement to improve / streamline your company's processes.
If the help section doesn't give me what I need the Commusoft team are only ever an email away. Their response times are usually within a couple of hours. If you have a bespoke request they are more than happy to work with you to implement this.
Would highly recommend this package to anyone in this line of business.
Cons
I haven't worked with it long enough to come across anything I don't like about the software yet.
