I am considering trying cleaner planner...  is it really worth paying £15 a month ongoing for?

I have 1 van and 2 employees currently, and am using WCpro..

would be interested in hearing from some of the other employers particularly...

Thanks

A very good friend of mine uses WCP well did.

Same boat as you.

Obsessed with CP like me now.

I think because (in reason) you can ask for whatever you want to be added and rob will do his best to make it happen.

Go for it.

thanks for the info...  what are the advantages that you get from using it?

Yes it is  

I find it really good - it saves me a lot of time compared to the previous software I was using.

Just this week I asked Rob if we could add a feature to make it even more 'managing agent friendly' and he has already done it ready for use on Monday.

[Soupy]

Just do it. 1 month free trial, can't go wrong.

cheers Alex,

which feature save you time please?

it has a lot of stuff that's not so relevant to me (Go careless, texting etc etc)...

do your WCs work off smartphones or paper?

[p1w1]

yep definitely the way forward... not only a brilliant piece of software but also comes with excellent support.

The main thing for me is the ability to email the invoice direct from the system. Once a client has an email address logged all properties that you clean for them can be invoiced and sent with just a few clicks from the worksheet. Most of my work is commercial managed properties and they all need invoicing, so for me this is a big plus.

For me the main advantage of Cleaner Planner is it's accuracy and reporting ability. It appeals to my ocd nature.

I don't understand why you'd not be interested in gocardless or text messages though. It's these type of features that - for me - make cleaner planner head and shoulders above the rest. Once set up these features save me heaps of time and are excellent for giving the impression to customers that I'm super professional and know what I'm doing.

I definitely feel that I get my money's worth. I don't think that there is another software package out there that offers even half the support.

Cheers Soupy. Thanks for the input

I use a different direct debit provider which is better than Go Cardless for my needs. More expensive, but much better for us.

I also use a different text service that is better suited for my business too..

Would you mind starting a thread on your direct debit provider please, Richard?
Specifically, who it is? Why they're better? And the ways that GoCardLess fall short in comparison?

I tried the trial and couldn't get on with it at all!!

I like George it does everything I need to run my business and its a lot cheaper as well..

We use SmartDebit... more expensive but has advantages we like.. We can sign customers up for DD over the phone, which is a huge advantage. We make all new customers setup a DD before we will clean them.

Is it still worksheet based? The thing I didn't like was not being able to schedule with the planner directly. It seemed less intuitive on the whole than Aworka. That said, the thing that stopped me putting more time into it was a loss of consistency in financial records but I'm going limited on 1st April so it's a fresh start & thinking about having another go.

[Marc Whitbread]

Just try it I was using WCP for 4 years I thought at first just a extra bill then I tried it but couldn't keep both databases up then recently due to further expansion and spending too much time doing admin so gave it another go and wouldnt look back now texting and calling function knocks off 10 minutes a day on its own then theres printing of worksheets and writing notes and then the time I save having to upload all worksheets at the end of the day also it holds all of us individually accountable if something is inputed wrong and its great for tracking staff totals particuarly useful if you offer bonus incentives etc and its great for keeping accurate accounts I think its well worth the £25 a month and top of all THE SUPPORT! just try it

I've certainly not seen a loss in consistency of records.

Are there any other benefits?
