I'm a big fan of WCP. I've used it for about two years now and it saves me a lot of time in sorting out rounds, creating schedules, etc. It's easy to use even for a complete beginner and as you get used to it you find some nice wee features that are the icing on the cake.

It's a bit disappointing that it's not being developed further but the product as it stands is very good. If it wasn't I wouldn't use it!

Lots of people seem disappointed with WCP Lite but PDAs aren't made anymore so it's not surprising hardly and development went into it. What would be nice is an app for iPhones and Android but that ain't gonna happen 

From what I've heard, Compass 180 is a couple of steps up from WCP and likely to be too much in terms of features and price for your average sole trading window cleaner.

But is that true, about compass 180 that is, there were supposed to be progress reports.Follow us on face book or something.So where are they, have they given up?

i use george and ill be sticking with it.basic, simple and straightforward just like running a window cleaning business!i did download the wcp trial but decided it looked "too flash" and overcomplicated for a sole trader window cleaner plus i thought it was too expensive.

if it aint broke.......dont try and fix it!!


completely happy with george 100%.fantastic program and the best £50 ive ever spent.

I have downloaded window cleaner pro as I have been using George. I am more impress with window cleaner pro as its more upper market than George. So when my trial version is over I think I will pay for it and use both George and Pro.

Why use 2 

[Chris Cottrell]

Why use 2 

I use 3

Sage for invoices & accounting
George cos thats what I started using 6yrs ago
Wcp cos I like the lite version even if its not complete

Also if you only use one method of keeping track of your dealings what happens when you miss one and your not sure if a customer has paid or not, do you just forget it or do upset the customer by telling them to pay up again?

I always find it better to double check

[dazmond]

what?

why on earth anybody would need more than one program is beyond me!you can do all invoices and accounting and keep track of all your customers payments on one program!

i think some of you overcomplicate what is a simple business to run.also why would you want to pay for two programs?

[craig mcneil]

I use Excel to keep track of my invoices and expenses as it's easier to use than WCP. WCP is great for round scheduling and keeping customer records but I found the expenses setup painful. I had a look at Sage but it was a total overkill for me.

So where exactly is it written that compass 180 is still in development?

in a private email to me where the developers told me it was still in development.

mind you that was a few months ago so could be ready now.
