Hi - thanks for your interest in Buckit.
We're constantly working on the system to try to improve it and add new features, so please feel free to let us know what you think and how we can make it better!
I tried to have a go but it wont import my data
Hi Chris - just wanted to let you know that we found there are some oddities in the way George exports CSV data, which is why the import failed. We've emailed you a fixed CSV file which should work fine now - apologies for the inconvenience.
can't even register an account...
Hmmm... that's odd - you should receive a notification email after signing up - please check your "Junk Email" folder in case it's gone in there. I just tried signing up myself and the system is working fine, so if you want to try again please feel free to do so!

She must be happy because she's using Buckit! ;)

the site and sofware images have that window cleaner pro look to them :) :)
Plus i dont like the idea of cloud software as the site owners can see my company customer files, theres no gurantee that the software owners don't own a cleaning company themselves.

i clicked register , filled out my details and it went to a white screen, and ive got no junk mail

There seems to be a few new "cloud" software options around for us window cleaners at the moment... I'm not 100% convinced by online software that holds all my business data... What happens if the site is down when I need to get some information, or print off a worklist?
I'm sticking with George for now... It does everything I need it to do.

@ g.brooks & halfadaylee
Apologies for the inconvenience - we've had a lot of people signing up today and that seems to have briefly caused an issue on our server affecting new user registrations. Our developers have resolved it now - please try signing on again and you should be fine!
After signing up, you should receive an email (pretty much immediately) containing your logon information. Thanks again!

Hi James - no problem we're happy to help.
You will need to export your data from George first and then import it into Buckit. There are some step-by-step instructions on the Buckit Support Forum here :-
www.buckitforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11&p=11
In Chris's case (mentioned previously) the data exported from George didn't seem to be a valid CSV file, however we have tested the whole export/import process with other databases since and they were all ok. Hopefully his case was a one-off and you should be fine if you follow the above instructions.
If you do have any difficulties please let us know and we'll sort it out for you. Probably the best way to contact us is via the Buckit Support Forum (www.buckitforum.co.uk) rather than clogging up this forum with support issues.
Hope this helps - thanks!

can this be imported from window cleaner pro ?

can this be imported from window cleaner pro?
Good question... unfortuantely at the moment we can't find a way to export a database from Window Cleaner Pro. If you know how to do this, or if you're somehow able to export your data from WCP then by all means send us a copy of the exported data (info@buckit.co.uk) and we will import it into Buckit for you.
i dont like the idea of cloud software as the site owners can see my company customer files, theres no gurantee that the software owners don't own a cleaning company themselves.
I'm not sure how we can "guarantee" that we're not a cleaning company, but we're not! We are a software development company and have been for many years. Fair point about security/confidentiality though - we've addressed these questions on our support forum here :-

Certainly - it's :-

We'll try to have a look later on this evening - many thanks!

I use Aworka at the moment and find it highly satisfactory. The only thing in general is that if I have no 3G or wifi signal on my Iphone at work I lose access to my data. Can this problem be worked round with Buckit?
Also with Buckit, do you have a running total of work produced as the week progresses?
-
A video of how this soft wear working would be a good idea.

Hi matt how do you find using Aworka with your mobile and dose it give you the same info that George dose thanks james
-
Can you use Aworka with I Phone mat ?
-
Aworka does work well on an iPhone but and its a big but there is one very big similarity to Wcp you cant pay off the debts on the mobile its only a debt list .... bit of a problem really
and I have tied to work with buckit & not so impressed really either, after not being able to import my data they did "fix it" for me but now all my jobs are due on 1/1/1990 all 1117 of them :( :'(

I havent ever used George mate so cant comment on that, sorry.
-
Can you use Aworka with I Phone mat ?
Yes, you can use the full version of Aworka on an IPhone if you download the Skyfire browser app, otherwise with safari browser its real basic.
-
I think Buckit.co.uk has potential! I have managed to import my data from George. I had a few glitches but there support is very good.
I am not quite at the point of stopping using George altogether just yet though. I run both side by side for now.
I have tried all most of the cloud services and can't seem to get on with any of them.
I am hoping Buckit sort out all the issues out before my trial is up. It has improved alot in a short space of time......

now all my jobs are due on 1/1/1990 all 1117 of them
Better get your time machine van out the garage! ;)

Hi mat, yes I downloaded the skyfire to my I phone now, so what do I do now to get the aworka on there?
-
Log in to the Aworka site using the skyfire app as if its a pc.

Don't worry - the DeLorean can stay in the garage!!! ;)
We have come across this problem before when importing data from George. If you do experience this issue, please email us your George export file (info@buckit.co.uk) and we'll be happy to fix it for you and import it into your database.
Many thanks!

Any ideas please guys.

I had the same problem for a bit. I could login on the computer but I couldn't login on my phone.
I had put a space after username.
Delete the space and I can now login no problem. :)

Hi Chris - just to let you know that we fixed the issues with the George import routine - this means that you can do an export from George (of all your latest data) and then import it yourself - there's no need to send us the CSV as file it should work right away.
Here are some instructions :-
http://www.buckitforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=11
I've cleared out your database for you too Chris (which has removed all the previously imported records with the wrong dates) so you should be ready to give it another go if you wish to?
In case anyone else is interested, we've also added an import feature for Aworka so you can now import your Aworka CSV into Buckit too.
Hope this helps!
