    Increased ability to schedule, provide a visual tool to our field employees that allows them to see where they are working in the near future and also to be able to instantly create a work order for emergencies that pop up. Since one aspect of our business is storm restoration and disaster recovery for private clients. We were challenged recently with (3) severe storms in a 2 week window. While our line crews were out working for public utilities, we were able to log in client info, do damage assessment and provide detailed work orders with pictures to our field crews. Once our crews were released by the investor owned utilities we turned them loose on the private work. The results were the most productive restorations for private clients we ever had. Our General Foremen could see the work schedule and assign crews to specific tasks (such as hauling utility poles, setting poles and stringing cable) by geographic areas. Being able to track materials used and tying them to inventory helps us be ready for the next storm by generating low inventory warnings and also assists us in creating accurate billing documents along with employee time sheet and equipment tracking. This in turn will generate simplified, more accurate billing and ultimately quicker insurance claims for clients which turns into better cash flow for us.

    One the daily work order side we are using the system to manage a multi-million dollar project for Metro North Railroad that involves a specific work plan for over 120 sites. Each location has been loaded into our system and has a site specific work plan with plans and documents attached. As the locations are scheduled with the Railroad, they are placed on our schedule and instantly give our field crews all the required work plan and safety documents required AND allow us to collect signatures.

    We plan to add our tailboard safety meetings to the system shortly and have already spoken to the team on how to implement this.

    Pros

    A TRULY customized product built for your specific needs. In the development phase- I had a laundry list of things I wanted to able to do and within a few emails back and forth with Darren we had pretty much addressed all my concerns and they were able to accommodate everything I need. Even on the on-going basis- we discover things we forgot or neglected to consider and within no time at all I get an email telling me they have a solution and when it will be implemented. I looked at many other SAS vendors and all had "one size fit's all" products or required me to buy expensive add on modules to get the software to perform as a I needed. With Less Paper, I was able to specify what I needed, what I didn't and it was all implemented in a timely, professional manner. These guys know what they are doing, they work hard at it and they are always there to answer my questions or help me with my next "do you think we could do this?" moment.

    I really can't say enough about this product. It's like having a magic wand and being able to create whatever functionality you can dream up. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, CUSTOM product that allows you to make changes and updates as you find the need for them, this is your product.

    Cons

    Probably the only thing I can say that I don't like is the fact that the screen on a tablet doesn't render the same way it does on a full size computer screen (which is really typical of all mobile applications- not just this one). Sure it would be nice to have the screen look the same on your PC as your foreman's iPad but it's really just a matter of getting used to.

    Fantastic! The Less Paper team is responsive and knowledgeable. If we dreamed it up, they were able to provide it. [sensitive content hidden] is very knowledgeable and having originally developed this out of a need for his families business, he genuinely understands what makes this type of system beneficial to similar businesses. We looked at many other options and no one could get close to offering what Less Paper offers. All of the out of the box options offered limited customization at many times the price and the fully customizable options like Less Paper were far out of our budget.

    Pros

    Customization, pricing, support, continued development. Nothing else out there offered full customization at these prices. [sensitive content hidden] understands the service and repair industry and had a solution for everything we needed.

    Cons

    Nothing to list at this point. We were initially concerned about long term stability with Less Paper being a smaller company than many of the large box options out there, but after contacting several referrals we were comfortable moving forward.

    Alternatives Considered

    Commusoft, Jobber, Workiz, Simpro and Service Fusion

    Reasons for Switching to Less Paper

    Fully customized system at a lower price point than minimally customizable alternatives. [sensitive content hidden]'s Knowledge of the industry needs and programing expertise. Excellent feedback from all of the business references we contacted.

    Pros

    It's fully customizable so it can be tailored exactly to the needs of the purchaser and the price point is amazing for custom designed cloud-based software. I love that the company purchasing can use their own language to set up various areas of the system, it integrates with Quickbooks Online seemlessly and has a really simple interface that even the less tech savvy can navigate.

    Cons

    It was tough to get a feel for the software when there was no demo available. Also, an app would be great but being that it's custom-built that would put costs up.

    Hi, Jackie - Thanks for the review! We do have native apps in development for Android & iOS that are wrappers for our custom systems to allow our clients easier access to their systems and to provide more features. We'll reach out when they're available! Thanks again! - Darren Jett

    I would highly recommend Less Paper for your development of software for your needs.

    Pros

    I have been looking for a long time for a company that will work my company's needs. Most other developers want to question my decisions as a owner or try to talk me out implementing changes in the software that I have asked for because it may be difficult or they just don't want to try. As a owner I love to discuss my decisions and collaborate together as a team and that's what I get with Less Paper. They are on my level when it comes to wanting the software to be a perfect.

    Cons

    I'm not sure I have any cons since every request I have made from Less Paper has been met with acceptance.
