Having looked around I decided to trial Obit as it seemed the one that suited my needs the most. What made the beginning of this very easy was how easily I could speak to someone and get any help I needed. I was able to set up the documents and orders to suit my companies needs and use the additional functions such a "tabs" as we are very visual. I have a few members of staff that are not great with computers but they have all really taken to using Obit. This was a key factor for me as I wanted to have a smooth transition to using a software in this way. We can now all access the information and see when something needs to be completed, or of someone comes in to pay we now do not need to hunt for a file and invoice, it is all there in one place. We have also found this helpful when recording payments made to third parties as well as being able to reconcile accounts easier as all the information is there. Obit is easy to use on any devise - I have often checked obit on my mobile on my way to a removal, especially helpful if a pre paid funeral plan. Having the function to add in pre-paid funeral plans and upload all documents associated with it means that we have instant access to the information we need. > > **Cons**: We have not yet used the accounting aspect of obit -it would be helpful to have a detailed explanation of how to do this. I have created a customer final letter using the documents - it would be helpful if the text went smaller then 8 as this is still large when printed. Having more options when adding a table, in terms of being able to move it around. This is also on my final letter and takes up a lot of space. > > \- direct access to funeral information - all having access - knowing how much a client owes and being able to record all payments - all documents in one place - all information relating to every funeral in one place - being able to record sundry payments. We use this function for anything addition, coroners invoices and work assisting other funeral directors. ----- ### "Great overall product." — 5.0/5 > **John-Mark** | *25 July 2021* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This system is designed with a strong understanding of the industry. It’s structured enough to ensure you can manage the company correctly. But flexibile enough tonallowneach client to make it their own. > > **Cons**: Took a while for some employees to buy in, this was due to change management but also the fact that it offers so much it’s daunting for employees. It need total buy in to be effective. ----- ### "Obit review" — 4.0/5 > **Keith** | *09 July 2021* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to log onto. Easy to look up sales records > > **Cons**: Many of the set-up and add options sare hard to navigate > > Overall it is good but it is very time consuming to set up a complete sale record from 0% to 100%. ----- ### "Learning Obit" — 5.0/5 > **Ann** | *03 August 2021* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find obit very easy to understand and easy to follow instructions when entering a funeral on to the obit system. We have 11 branches throughout the city and by each branch using the system, we can all see what is going on at the present time. it cuts out sending alot of internal emails and phone calls > > **Cons**: I somtimes feel when all the orders are submitted this helps regenerate the invoice but I sometimes think the invoice can look very basic when it is produced. > > Overall i do enjoy working with Obit and at the moment it is still a learning curb for me. I'm learning new things everyday. The more I use it the easier it is becoming. The financial side of things is not my department but i would like to learn this side of Obit ----- ### "Highly recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Rita** | *17 July 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, Time spent on administration cut in half, clear communication with staff re schedules and tasks.
