Service Autopilot: Higher tier with more automations and inclusivity, Higher price point, Steeper learning curve with more features than needed
ServiceWorks: Chose over others due to superior support and responsiveness, Adequate experience and time in the market, Onboarding process includes a dedicated representative and a "Get Started" tab with six modules for easy integration, Extensive online demos and pre-made videos for troubleshooting, Quick integration: 2 days to get situated, less than a week to become comfortable with the software

Before using ServiceWorks, their company used Swiftlink, which was outdated and required multiple programs for inventory, technician usage, and scheduling. Transitioning to ServiceWorks was challenging due to the learning curve associated with a new program and initial hiccups. However, the integration process was smooth, allowing easy transfer of customer information. Over time, ServiceWorks has improved significantly. Aubrey recommends starting with the complete package of ServiceWorks and then customizing features as needed. She highlights the excellent customer service that helps users decide on necessary features and guides them through the process.

The individual emphasized that the utility of the training and support is maximized by having prepared questions and clear goals.
