### "Great value for the money and reliable" — 4.0/5

> **Ross** | *16 June 2017* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The program integrates with Quickbooks  and works well over our network with multiple users (3).  Even when we have an unexpected reboot of a computer, etc. the data is safe.   For a small company this piece of software is affordably priced and helps us be more productive and take care of our customers.  For as long as we have used the software we have not found anything we feel would be better for us.    Customer Service has always been able to solve our technical issues.
> 
> **Cons**: We would like more communication about upgrades,  feature priorities and timelines.  Being able to easily customize reports would be a huge plus.
> 
> The software helps us communicate and make sure we are taking care of customers.  Equally important, the software helps us make sure we are billing for the service we provide - especially when the customer makes changes.

> 
> **Pros**: Very easy to use. Easy double checking before posting entries. Posting errors can be cleared quickly. Pulls data from QuickBooks and allows easy posting. We prepare billings in QuickBooks first then post into TSP.
> 
> **Cons**: Need to write program to sort reports for our purposes. Would like to get standard reports that we need.
> 
> We are an HVAC Equipment rental company. We bill at the beginning of a rental and this program is built to bill at the end of a rental period. We get great information regarding regarding rental unit revenue and costs.

> 
> Overall experience has been positive. there are many features which our company has implemented that has saved both time and resources. The online portion has made it possible for our company to eliminate nearly 95% of our paper usage
