Pros

So easy to use, the process is quick and easy and saves me a significant amount of money.

Cons

I honestly can't think of a single thing that I dislike about using the program!

Very positive. I have had to have contact with a technician and on several occasions each time I was provided very prompt and excellent customer service. They understood the urgency of my needs and contacted me right away and walked me through the process to fix the problem. Then, each time Customer service agent followed up to make sure all was running correctly. He is an excellent representative for CLIP. I know we are just a small company/user but, he made me feel like we were important and matter to him. And, my contact with him each time was very very early in the morning hours. He understood the urgency and took care of the matter.

Pros

Scheduling; keeping history of what the customer has had for services etc. Very quick and efficient method of scheduling customer's services.

Cons

I need to learn more about routing etc. We are a lawn care business and sometimes our customers want certain services in the Spring and then again in the Fall. I cannot schedule two services within one season without deleting one from the customer's programs. I also wished that all notes etc. could be carried over to the following year. At this time the only recourse I know of to start a new season; is to delete all programs and re-enter in new. I have to do this each season and we have lots of customers; very time consuming. Maybe I don't know all the tricks of the trade.

We are long time CLIP customers using the desktop version, CLIPxe. It seems no thought or concern was given to all the existing features that make xe so successful. I was told by tech support, it's best to approach CLIPitc as a brand new software. I love xe but wanted the cloud version so I can work from home easier, and make it easier for multiple users. I was really frustrated after the 30 day trial. I will stay with xe for now and look for a different cloud software. Moving to itc would require a massive overhaul of all my data. If that's the case, I may as well just look for a new provider.

Pros

Like the chat capability for questions.

Cons

It seems this was thrown into production without much testing or improvement. Recording work is a breeze in CLIPxe and very tedious in itc. "once a week" and "bi-weekly" visits do not work the same as xe. There is no way to attach add-on tasks to the main job: there was a "related" field in xe that was very helpful but does not exist in itc. Difficult to add a crew member while recording work. Difficult to calculate charges based on time spent at job. AM/PM shortcuts are not available. Training videos insufficient.

Response from CLIP Software

Thanks for the review Marlene. I'm very sorry that we haven't lived up to your expectations so far. One of our people should be reaching out soon to discuss how we can help you take full advantage of the service.

They are a very friendly group of people with can do attitudes.

Pros

That it is quick books compatible, has CRM capabilities, and has everything we need to run our company correctly. In fact, I believe we underutilize this program.

Cons

I still am not mapped to the routing for printing and organizing route sheets. I am a bit nervous of the upgrade from xe to itx - Desktop Windows compatible? how many jobs per day can we route? can several person(s) be in the same customer file as once? (all just questions for itc)

The support team is very pleasant to work with. Response time could improve some. If billing and Reporting features could be improved, the ratings would go up.

Pros

Clip ITC Mobile App - Saves a lot of manual entry
Routing feature - Allows us to group all jobs for one customer and gives of visibility to how we've scheduled routes and easily identify where we as a company need to make chages

Cons

Billing feature - Has been a challenge. Sometimes sales tax is not added to an invoice/statement. Sometimes the date field for the service comes out blank when trying to do invoices and it won't show up on Invoice. I have to delete the line item and re-add to get it to show up on invoice. The statement on the billing "Overpayment" Has confused and upset some of our customers when we've asked for 50% upfront. We have lost several customers due to the CLIP ITC billing problems. We've lost some credibility due to billing issues.

I find that while the customer service people are knowledgeable, it takes entirely too long to receive a response or help. Many times I'm sent articles or links to the manual. By the time I contact support, I've already tried to find the answer in the manuals.

I have told them of several changes and issues in CLIP and they turf me off to, "submit it as a suggestion."

Last year we went through hell. They encouraged me in the beginning of the year to convert to clip online. I submitted my data for conversation. It came back so many times wrong and incomplete. I had already converted over to QB online. After so many attempts, I was told that it's too early for existing customers to convert over to online, too many issues. It took weeks of work to get the data back right and to undo all the work that was done. I didn't even receive an I'm sorry or a credit for all my time wasted. It has been typical of the support I have received for the last 10 plus years.

Pros

They added QB to their program. For so many years we used special invoicing. It was a nightmare.

Cons

Needs several kinks worked out. One of the most important things is to have QB sync back to CLIP. Because we are unable to do this, it creates a lot of discrepancies.

Response from CLIP Software

Thanks for the review Linda. I'm very sorry that you've had trouble in the past with conversion. We'll be reaching out soon to discuss what we could have done better for you during that process.

Unfortunately it has been underachieving at best. We were super excited to get on board with clip itc however it has been 1 head ache after another. Unfortunately there are not many people in this space or options to switch. We truly hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel, however in our years using clip it seems like more issues than solutions.

Pros

When the software works, it’s nice to have for ease of use in the field.

Cons

The interface between clip and QuickBooks is very difficult especially since you can’t use anything besides letters commas or periods. So if someone accidentally uses anything else it holds up transfers. When there are issues, it’s usually hours before anyone can get back to us, and actually have gone weeks before without a solution. It’s so finicky that it seems every month when we try to close out for month end, we find another issue that’s “with the developers” which holds us up from billing and creating cash flow. We have ha face multiple times where the tablets have service but can not connect to the clip server and our guys in the field do not have the lists of places to go and creates a nightmare.

We are able to track employee times to make sure they being efficient at each job and are getting to the next job in a timely manner. The crew can enter the materials used during the job.

However, we have had a lot of issues again, with taxing and we've also had a few times where we get kicked out of the system continuously and can't stay logged in.

The support is pretty good once you get a response. Response time can sometimes be an hour to a day.

Pros

The ability to track employees times and automatically total the bill based on per hour jobs.
The ability to get customer requests to the crew through the app.
The live chat option is nice.

Cons

It's a little complicated to learn.
There are certain customizations that should be simpler to make, but require 3 steps.
There have been many issues with the invoices transferring properly to Quick Books, especially taxing and sometimes not even knowing invoices have been stuck in the transfer.

Again, I have not used "itc" but considering I kept getting the survey request I decided
to tell you about CLIP in general, and the great group of guys in tech support I have worked with over the years.

Pros

I have not used CLIPitc, but have used CLIP Desktop for 20 years.
It was at the time the best as I had reviewed all available options for software.

I still believe it to be the best. The ability to manipulate the workbank at billing, as well
create powerful merge reports are some of my favorite features.
Also the ability to quickly reformat route sheets and manually order them is great.

Recording work, payments, and billing all take minimal time.

CLIP is a major time saver.

Cons

I used the billing version and the fact that billing periods close and cannot be adjusted
causes some issues.

We have used CLIP for YEARS now and have not had too many issues until WINDOWS10 came along. I have purchased the software to be shared on my assistance computer and still after 3 years we are nowhere with this system. CLIP support NEVER EVER EVER answers their phone nor do they return calls. I have major problems printing out numerous zero dollar balance invoices monthly, that I've called in regards to and also go online to their helpdesk and chat session with NO response on this issue as well. Not only does this waste my time but my money as well. I'm looking into a different program if anyone knows of anything let me know! I sure hope I get some sort of response to this review but I'm not holding my breath!!!
