Already paying for something that nearly fits?

Most people who call us are not unhappy with their software. They are unhappy with what it costs by the time the team grew, and with the parts of their process they gave up to fit the template. These pages are our honest read on each one, including when you should stay exactly where you are.

field service management

ServiceTitan alternative

ServiceTitan and Jobber are good products. Most of the HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies that call us are not unhappy with the software so much as with what it costs by the time they have twelve technicians on it, and with the parts of their process they have had to abandon to fit the template.

construction management

Procore alternative

Procore is a serious product built for large general contractors running dozens of subs across many concurrent jobs. If that is you, it is probably the right answer and we will say so. The contractors who come to us are running a handful to a few dozen jobs, need the commercial side to hold together — cost budget, the change chain, pay applications, subcontractor compliance — and are paying for a platform scaled several sizes above them.

fleet telematics

Samsara alternative

What tends to be missing is everything that happens after the location data arrives: maintenance, assignments, costs and dispatch decisions, which live in three other places.

staffing ATS and CRM

Bullhorn alternative

Recruiting firms win on speed and relationships, and the software either supports that or quietly taxes it. Bullhorn is a capable platform. The firms that call us have usually reached the point where the per-seat bill outgrew the value, or where recruiters keep the real pipeline in a spreadsheet because the stages in the system do not match how they work.

enterprise CRM

Salesforce alternative

Salesforce is a real product and an enormous one, priced for sales organizations many times the size of most businesses that end up paying for it. Whether replacing it is realistic depends almost entirely on how much of it you actually touch, and that is a question with a factual answer.

enterprise ERP

NetSuite alternative

NetSuite is a genuine enterprise ERP, and the implementations that go with it are enterprise projects: modules, consultants, licenses and a year. Some businesses need exactly that. Many more end up buying it because they needed an ERP, and there was nothing between a spreadsheet and a suite.
