if you are using a spreadsheet - just try george its great you can download trial free, and use it for ages before you have to pay a mere £50 for it, alternatively download free download of window cleaner pro whoch many rave about, personally george suits me and does what i want and compared to wcp's price tag of 160 i felt it was better value for money-- spreadsheet is too high maintenance

If you are a pro(like me) you should use wcp it does the lot and ian is a top bloke. The new version is brilliant and you can even ask to have new functions added. I have just ordered a pda to go with it so no paperwork when I get home.

Post by: Nathanael Jones on November 18, 2008, 09:52:04 am
What i will say it whatever option you choose,.. George, WCpro or Service CEO,.... they all beat paper, excel spreadsheets etc hands down.

The ability to click a button and see what work I have on the 2nd week in June 2010 is very handy,.... I'm now actively looking 3 or 4 months in advance and planning advertising 2 weeks before any quiet weeks, and trying to spread the overloaded weeks,.... something I could never do before.

Window Cleaner Pro, it's a great improvement over paper/book.
I have downloaded George and WCP and, choose WCP.
When you are out there, the note/task facilitiy is very useful, I have been making notes about increasing prices. WCP saves a lot of paperwork when you finish your daily round. You can view your days income, weekly, etc. The support is second to none. I can't praise WCP enough.
