ServiceMonster updates...
OK Gentleman, I will address these issues in turn.
1. Fittlebug - Steve is just WAY first to the marketplace, which is coming. Think app store for
ServiceMonster, on steroids, with all the brand names you trust. Steve is just very good at being first and that has real value. Pricy perhaps, but Cleaners are making good money off of that deal.
2. Scheduling Sync: This one is almost complete. Then we will have two way syncing with Google calendar. I have yet to see any competitor do this right (mostly one way sync).
3. QuickBooks online: Intuit needs an ass-whipin’. They have changed direction several times in the past 11 years we’ve been around, and none of their data syncs are stable. We are watching closely. If you’re super simple with your ledger it’s a fair bit easier. Many of our clients don’t fit into that category.
4. Mobile 2 face-lift. The Mobile 3 project is just now getting started but until that is ready we will be releasing a Mobile 2 POS for order entry that is a DREAM! That one is getting tested now. If you want a sneak peak let me know.
5.
ServiceMonster 6: I could spend all day taking about this one. This kind of technology is the entire reason I created this company. I'm involved with a small group of tech nerds and we have reinvented the internet. Some of our corporate products have been running this tech for years. It is very hard for me to see new SaaS companies using stuff we developed 4 years ago, and have just been slowed by a 3x grown rate.
6. Production Upgrades: NEW FMS PRINTERS! Custom front coming soon. Auto-Business card insert fulfillment, small postcard runs and MORE!
7. Releases: we plan on releasing Mobile 3 and
ServiceMonster 6 in stages and side-by-side with
ServiceMonster 5 and mobile 2. A clean, optional roll-out.
At Principal Focus, we have double our development staff in the last few months, along with key hiring several key positions which should really help to get these projects closed out.
We are cranking code. Every day. All day. I can’t wait to show you guys what we have up our sleeves.
Cheers,
