Hi Dave,

Do you mean they cant see it but you can?

Hi David

Based on user level and payment type, ie, invoice, dd, cash, prepaid, yes its possible.

Theres one other thing I can do for anyone, is if you want to see it now on your mobile, as long as touch screen and with a browser, to have a play around with it, get in touch and I will issue with a password and user name.  Least it will give you a good idea of how it will appear on your mobile device.

Hope that helps

how much is it?

Hi there

You have to look at it like a utility, is a subscription so if you want upto 3 users on it £29.99 per month, I suppose you could look at it at £10 per person, per month for upto 3 users.

Also you have to remember, no paperwork, no going back home and using excel, no synchronizing, no upgrades and the tight control that you have over the business is invaluable.  The time thats not spent doing work back at the office, can be spent getting new customers.

If you are working more than 1 person (it can be used if you are one person) you know exactly what job has been done, what time, what status, the debt.

People have sort of been a little taken back by the price, but its been 4 years in development. 

To be honest I think for the service and the time saved, its good value.

I also think this is the way technology is going, but thats just my humble opinion

Hope that helps

It is not that the staff are useless or lazy or whatever it is your(our) expectations of them.

We expect them to care about our equipment,our customers our business yet treat them like they ARE useless,lazy or whatever.

We have all had to learn our trade how to wash windows use poles pumps and so on yet we say to a new employee here do this with this and be quick about it, don't skive and I might just grudgingly pay you.

Very well said Gordon. By far the best post I have had the pleasure of Reading so far.
How many threads have there been on here about customers getting dropped cos of the way they treat us? Yet we expect new staff to be loyal hardworking and thankful while we treat them with contempt mistrust and scepticism

There are good staff out there, there are people who want to work Tesco and Asda are full of them as are the call centres and the councils so maybe it is time to look at ourselves and see WHY we attract the " useless the lazy and the whatever"

Ask how you recruit where you recruit. Why is it usually a pal a relative or a bloke you know who knows a bloke that gets a job. How and where do Tesco Asda and the rest recruit? Is it maybe that you (we) think it's not a real job that it's only a stop gap and we are a bit mmm let's see .....embarrassed to offer a real job in the paper or the job centre?

Until we lift our trade in our own eyes we can't expect others too. We act professional we charge as professionals so let's hire as professionals.

There are poor and unsuitable employees out there but if they turn up for an interview it is up to you to pick the right one and then spend no, invest time in training them after all a painter will train four or five years a postie a few weeks and a checkout operator gets an induction day, an on the job buddy to support and weekly staff training and they earn less than our lot do.

A once famous person said ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country well I'm not famous but I suggest that we ask not what our employee can do for us but what can we do for our employee.
