It does offer much much more than George. Just wondering if anybody actually had tried it or uses it  ;)

Yep no wonder he spent money on the phonecall. My mate in Florida spent a fortune with CEO(or at least his stepson did) and found out he could only use it for 8 commercial clients a day. Apparently it was "locked". They said he would have to part with more $$$ if he wanted to put more customers on it.
   Even though  George has its shortcomings its the best £50.00 I have ever spent.

In all honesty if that figure of $2,800 is true then I doubt you'll get any responses.

Because perhaps they think thats too much money for something that is a piece of computer software.  I guess some feel they can justify that (although the response to your post might indicate otherwise) but something you cannot actually get your hands on and use, cant actually see it, and costs you the equivalent of a fortnight in the Maldives will be hard to justify for some people. I know what I'd prefer to do with £1,500

Well I bought it and a Dell computer to run it on (microsoft vista) I run an Apple which is not compatible.

I will let you know what I think  ;)

Already been to the Maldives and the Lakshadweeps Lol, maybe with the time I save I might just get more time with my kids which will be better than any holiday for a one off payment of £1500  ;)

It is supposed to be pretty good for people who have grown their businesses and need to move to the next level. It apparently allocates rounds and suggests routes and order.It does better accounting an reconcilliation too. There is user on here who did explain it all, but for some reason he is subdued and doesn't say much now.

Link to a review site tinyurl.com/5zxwql

Out of 18 reviews, 12 users give either 4 or 5 stars while the other 6 only give 1 star.

It appears that there's no trial period, and if you're not happy there's not much chance of a refund. I looked at this some time ago after talking to a user but didn't take it further.

I looked at it but decided against it mainly due to the hassle of changing over and transfering data, I decided to stick with my own gaffer tape, cardbouard box and excell version.

One of the things that appealed to me about it was that it was possible to integrate it with a tracking system for real time location and job completion.

I would be very interested to hear how you get on with it.
