Just a quick reply before I buzz off for a weeks much needed rest.
I make it a point never to use this forum to promote my business so I’ll have to leave the actual users to draw any comparisons. I would just say that while you may not have heard much about us, we are not a fledgling company and we’ve been around much longer than most of the well-known names. We look after companies across the UK and Ireland varying in size from as little as 15 and up to several hundred cars, dispatching well over 2 million jobs each month.
As I see it, all the main companies have established products that work well but none are so much better than the next as to make any huge difference to your business. I’ve said this here so many times, it doesn’t matter how much you pay for the paint brush, it’s the artist that makes the great picture. Too many look for the holly grail in dispatch systems but the reality is that it’s a good management and people skills that’s the real key to success. The only advice I could give is to try avoiding the ones with the fancy web sites offering trials and special deals or you will live to regret it.
On why you don’t see us in the press or trade shows, well that was a decision we took several years ago and although others said such a move would be suicide, it was the best thing we’ve ever done. We might not be quite as high profile these days but we’re certainly not short of work and we don’t have to work hard to convince people about our system. Sure we miss out on some sales but better that than become the kind of faceless organisation that people constantly complain about.
Enough. Time to pack my bags while you all enjoy the rain!!!!!
