Used it for over 18 months - fab piece of software ie. great layout and does everything i want it to - i personally found george to 'basic' in it's style and could not arrange rounds as i wanted to.

you will now get a dozen or so posts about it not being supported blah blah blah as there is (somewhere) a new prog in the pipeline (compass 180)

but basically if you want full control of your biz with schedules, customer details, invoices, and more i can reccomend WCP

Must admit its a great piece of software .... though after 12months of using it it had deleted £250 worth of monthly work from my round.

When the wcp guys didnt respond to my emails i posted on the forum, got slated, told that the program couldnt delete customes and im back with george now

My laptop is password protected and im the only one with access to it. I didnt delete them customers off and no one could have done it.

It's not stable but you'll get told it's your computer and not the programme. I'm trying to find another application to move over too as I need to output a csv file to sage (which you can't with this). It takes 3 days to get a response unless you pay 60 quid a year (not that that's much but just pointing out) so get that unless you want to be locked out of your work for a few days. They are not doing anymore updates as they have shelved it. On the whole it will do what you want but when it goes wrong it can be a pain in the arse.

What it is guys, is that my business partner wants to change the way our paper work/work sheets gets done. I have what i class as a good system, it does everything you would need it to do. But he likes his gadgets & this is his new thought  ::) LOL. Im not really into it myself & think its gonna be a contest between my system & wcp..... Place ur bets  ;D

Try round tracker from window cleaning resources. I have round tracker 4 and got sent the new pro4 as a free upgrade, but i dont know how to transfer the dater. I have not used any other program, I'm happy with it does everything you need. I think it costs around £37.00.
