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.

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.

Does not meet legal requirements for pesticide record keeping

Reviewed on 2019/03/18

Unpleasant.

Unpleasant.

Pros

The mobile app is really simple, but in saying that it appears the applicator is not able to access customer information other than notes you specifically enter for the applicator to see. Why should I have to go through 200 customers and enter their contact info under their notes for each individual application they have. Yes, best I can tell you have to go to each application for the customer and enter the same thing to ensure the applicator gets the same information all year long.

Cons

We use it to schedule our turf program. During our last routine pesticide inspection, the inspector was not satisfied with clip because we were not able to easily print off the application records if a complaint was ever filed against us. Good thing we have paper copies. It's kind of sad this program is capable of so much, but can't print off an individual application record with the basic information needed. All the information required is in there, but I was told you can't actually print out a report with this particular info. on it. Customer, address, date, area size, material applied, applicator,
Someone please prove me wrong.

I have been using CLIPitc for a few years and enjoying the ease of scheduling, routing, and invoicing all combined into one platform. I have been very happy with the amount of time it has saved me, and allowed me to be more accurate in the functions listed above.

Pros

I loved the fact that I can just make a few clicks and then "BAM!" --- My invoices are automatically generated in QuickBooks! It also helps that scheduling is no longer a nightmare. This software has ALL of the different configurations of scheduling that difficult customer. Customer service is there when you need them when there is a hiccup to walk you through.

Cons

I wish it would "Memorize" the routes on a consistent basis. Some of my routes get memorized fine, which makes for faster scheduling but others do not.

I like it now, I am comfortable with it. I'm glad I don't need support because they make me feel stupid. Tech guys don't know how to communicate with non-tech people. They do try and please you.

Pros

That it meet my needs and does the job for a lot less money.

Cons

That the training videos came with background music and it could not be turned off, so the videos where useless to me and it was hard to get use to Clipitc, but I am use to it now, and I still get frustrated how slow it is and that I have to re-enter stuff because Clipitc just stops working and I am sure the support team would say this is my fault.

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.

I believe Clip is one of the best products on the market and I work with any issues because I genuinely believe I won't find a better product out there.

Pros

It is the best product I've seen that is Quickbooks Online Compatible. Many products claim they can link to Quickbooks and then you find out they can't do Quickbooks Online or the sync isn't effective.

Cons

Have hit weird bugs here and there and the Customer Service isn't always responsive. I've often figured out the solution myself by the time I hear back and have even explained to them how the problem happened or needed to be resolved. Our company is a larger landscaping company and at times I wonder if we are too large for their platform.

When running a mid size landscape company, my job was to run the routes and make sure the crews were efficient. That was my main job focus. CLIP was excellent at cutting losses and increasing profits on paper but we realized that guys were manipulating start and stop times, forgetting to start jobs, etc. I no longer use it for my small landscape company as it does way more than a single owner/operator needs.

Pros

Ease of tracking routes and scheduling crews. It is very detailed on user performance if it is being used properly. If measurements or job start/stop times are off then the data is useless.

Cons

It is very information hungry. You almost need an employee whose only job scope is entering in information to CLIP. If it's all entered correctly it can be very helpful but it can also be a headache when you need to move through the input quickly. Lots of multiple clicks, waiting to reload, changing the same thing on three screens, etc.

After thorough research, my medium sized lawn spray and fertilizing company decided to upgrade to Clip software. I loved everything they had to offer...but they never came through. We bought their routing program...two months later they cancelled it ($250 down the drain). They made a huge update first of the year (without telling anyone) and it had a HUGE number of bugs which took one of my staff almost a month to work thorugh (I don't even want to think about how much THAT cost me). Even though I paid more for the desktop version less than a year ago, they just move everything into the cloud (again...without telling anyone). This program may work in some situations, but my advice is to KEEP LOOKING!!

Response from CLIP Software

Hannah,
I am sorry to hear about your experience. We didn't actually offer any mapping software, we connected to Microsoft Map point which Microsoft discontinued. You can still use it with CLIPxe if you own it. We are working on our own software for routing instead of relying on Microsoft Map point.

Our support is included in all of the versions that we currently sell, we used to sell a version of our software that didn't provide unlimited support, but that is no longer the case.

I'm sorry that CLIP didn't work out for you, let me know if there is anything we can do to help you in the future!

We have been using CLIP for our Landscaping Company for several years now. We are a mid sized Landscaping company offering Maintenance, Landscaping, Irrigation, and Lighting out of Charleston, SC. Overall CLIP has been an excellent software we use for scheduling Maintenance, Landscaping Projects, Irrigation and Lighting Projects and repair scheduling, and Project management. CLIP has been a good fit for the many various aspects of our business. Experiencing rapid growth over the past year our company has created numerous new Management positions as well as constant changes resulting in the need to develop new policies and systems on how we manage our workload. We have found the Technical Support Department to be invaluable as we change and grow and they have been essential in our efforts to find better ways to utilize CLIP in our growing company. There may be other software programs out there that would meet our needs, however, I cannot imagine they would have the level of customer service that is essential to our success. The ability to talk to a live person who is knowledgeable on CLIP and able to assist us in overcoming our obstacles we face as we grow has been a major advantage for us. CLIP has been integral in our growth and success as a company and we strongly recommend them.
