What are the best aspects of this product?
Managing a large team of technicians that do different types of services across different cities and locations.
Advanced booking forms and custom fields for services with prices set up for to generate accurate quotes easily.
The customer portal allows customers to book their services themselves quite easily.
Also the app is amazing and so easy for our technicians to use to get notifications about their bookings and update their booking statuses, as well as invoice and charge the client by credit card on the spot.
Ability to manage multiple calendars quite easily in one screen.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
We wish there was a drag and drop on the calendar but we understand it's difficult to do as OctopusPro allows for events on the calendar that could have multiple visits and also multiple fieldworkers assigned so a drag and drop feature won't be possible due to the complexity of the functionality the software provides.
What features/services would you like to see in future versions of this product?
Ability to allow fieldworkers to upload videos of the jobs, not just before and after photos as they currently do now.
