brilliant , could not work without it now,.. it does absolutey everything and even backs up on their own site , handy if you ever loose all your work due to a pc crash.... happened to me....
only 50 quid after trial version.
-
Have to agree! best 50.00 ever! worth every penny and more!!
saves loads of time.
-
ditto
-
Its the best money I have spent and you also are able to contact the programmer/owner with suggesions and feedback and he acutally answers!!!
Great product....

it is only good if you are using it for a commercial round... domestic is a no no!!!
-
Why do you say domestic is a no no? I set mine up with 2 rounds. 1 foir commercial and 1 for domestic. I dont have any issues with it
-
Actually I would to see method of payment added. So I can record how they paid me. That is only a small thing. And while I am at it other services added like gutters fascias etc.
So I suppose I would suggest a couple of improvements.

its no where near as fast as a paper and pen

sorry,
i have to say its good for me..., print the sheets in the morning, tick when paid and done, type in to george in the evening. done.
print all the yearly accounts in 2 minutes, thats just my opinion as i only used a book for two months so i only really know the george way, i am sure a lot of w/c,s who have been using a book will swear by the old method and i cant argue with that,
but just for me, its brilliant.

Then you are not using it right

Hi Tony,
Why am i not using it right?
-
I'm still on the trial version, and I have a combination of domestic and commercial work, and I have to say that I love it.
Once you've learned how to 'drive it' it's great, and I will certainly be buying the full program, and I'm also in the process of buying a PDA so I can have the pocket version too.
There are a few tweaks I think would be good, but the program is in constant development, so as each year passes, more gets added to it, and if you have a problem, you get a prompt response to help you out.
Good value for money.

Sorry Gazza. That post was aimed at the person who wrote not as fast as pen and paper. I think I posted at the same time as you so it cam out wrong
-
:D
No probs Tony

If you think pen and paper is quicker.....you are living in cuckoo land.

Excellent piece of software for the price of just £50.
I use it for window cleaning customers (seperating 4 weekly jobs under £10, 4 weekly jobs over £10, 8 weekly jobs) I can then use the reports to see average spends and also break down of how much each type of customer contributes to turnover.
I also use it for pressure cleaning jobs, conservatory cleaning, fascia and soffit cleaning jobs etc.
As with any software there are always improvements and add ons that can be made, no one program is going to be perfect for every one.
Paul the creator of this software also gives excellent back up service and will always take on board any ideas etc you may have.
Great value for £50

richyp, I have to agree with all the others. How can pen & paper be quicker? What about the flexibility? You get a new customer, you slot them into the round where you want them, print of the days/weeks work. Bingo. Or maybe your just on the windup ;D
-
well worth getting i have pocket george too highly recomended
-
Brilliant, i can take on cleans of varying frequencies, feed it in to George and it does all the work. Best £50 i've spent on my business.
-
Got to say I use it, and it's superb.... ;D
If it does not work for you, you cannot possibly be using it correctly. See if you can get a user local to you to show you how it works. It would be well worth it.
-
if u have say ten jobs how can u click p for paid,,, thats easy cos u can do with a pen

but you've still gotta write out those ten jobs 1st. Every month too.

i am well into making life easier for myself... i have had a wfp for nearly 8 years so i am well into technology... george system is a no go simple as. i cant be bothered to print job sheets out every day when a book can do the same job for 6 month.....sometimes technology doesnt work
-
i don't use george either. I use calendar in microsoft outlook and a little palm z22 i picked up for £20 which has the list of jobs on it when i'm out.
-
Not read the posts but just wanted to add - best £50 I've invested in my business.
Would not hesitate to recommend. ;)
-
Richyp have use actually tried george.
I have used a book and also card system as thats all there was when i started.
But i bought george about 3 years ago and have never looked back.
You say its not as fast as a pen.
No your right its faster.
It takes seconds to mark a customer as done and paid.
It reschedules your work for you.
It does your accounts.
You do not need to print a sheet off daily weekly will do or get a palm and you don't need to print anything off.
Try it.
Its free for 30 days i think you will be suprised at how much easier everything is.

Well i think you should try the programe before saying its not as fast or its no good!!
Do you not get those days were at the end of the day you go the pub with the lads after work? or on a friday evening? then forget about your book system or forget who has paid you who?
george sorts all that out if your using a palm jus by connecting it to the pc for less than about a 1min you have transferd all your work you done that day and paid and ticked off and re programed for the next clean date.
Also another thing george can do is tell you how many times you have cleaned the property the dates if you collected money that day how much and how much they owe you! OR if there in credit with 15 seconds.
the list goes on i could type about it all day long to be honest! why dont you just try it with 20 odd jobs! you may think its not for you or you but it sure as hell is faster than a book system and alot more reliable.
