Service monster

[Charlie Lyman]

I plan on signing up.
How much time should I set aside for the setup? Do I just call them and they start the process? Am I going to have to sit in front of a computer for a couple of hours dealing with this?
I currently use Quickbooks. Once I set up SM do I need to keep my Quickbooks subscription? Is it advisable to keep Quickbooks and run them both?
Thanks in advance

We run both QB and SM.. QB has more on the accounting side stuff.. You will just have to send them your QB file so they can enter all your custy's.. I don't remember spending any time(it's been 5 years or so) to get this done, it's in their hands.

Man you will KILL it with Service Monster!! Best customer retention tool ever!! They could improve their App, but that's not why I use them..

SM is not an accounting program.
Keep QB

That's what I said..

Idiot

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah, but nobody read it

When I complete a job on service monster, will it automatically update Quickbooks or do I need to put everything into Quickbooks manually?

 

[hogjowl]

You have to put it all into QB by pencil and paper
Sorry, but it's not like this is the 21st century or anything

 

[Able 1]

Yeah, but nobody read it

LOL, touche..

Do I scan the paper and pencil ledger into Quickbooks?

You can import the info into QB.. The only issue we have had with this, are accounts that don't pay at the time of service..

 

[hogjowl]

Really?

Even I haven't screwed THAT up

Marty tell him..

 

[hogjowl]

I was talking to YOU
Idiot

 

[Able 1]

Yeah you beat me to the post.. Tell him that he can import from SM.. So he reads it and all.

My wife enters all my stuff and has for the last three years, she does great in the kitchen!! I never had that problem..

 

[hogjowl]

I beat everybody to post.

Because y'all think you have to write an essay

 

[hogjowl]

May be she should post here instead?

You want to drive Jimmy away FOREVER?!?

 

[Able 1]

Actually, you were the main selling point for me.. They should use "So easy a pig farmer can use it" as their tag line!!

Yes

 

[Able 1]

Lol!

To be fair, my wife does a really good job at holding it all together, and balancing everything out..

Having her take the phone was my best decision for the business! I refuse to answer it!
