RepairShopr

Pros

Once you learn how to use the software correctly, checking customers in and out is a breeze! It's very fluid, with adding customer data, device information, and payment being integrated all into the few screens. There are a lot of places to leave notes, receive notifications, and even interact with customers via email and text messages. Super useful!

Cons

It feels like the software is ALMOST complete, but not quite. I frequently encounter bugs in a few trouble areas at least once a week (thankfully it never happens in important transaction areas) but it's a little frustrating to not be able to load certain pages or write information without refreshing the application a few times.

Pros

It was a great tool for us to explore our options and keep our work days organized

Cons

The customization wasn't as flexible as we needed it to be at the time of using it which was about two years ago.

Reasons for Switching to RepairShopr

Pros

It has all the options i wanted. Retail, inventory, inside and outside service features.

Cons

Tons of glitches. No support. They flake on you anytime the problem becomes to difficult for them. They cant even help problems their system causes. Very unhappy need to find another software similar.

Pros

I use RepairShopr with a client that runs a service business. RepairShopr has made it much simpler to convert leads to tickets, to estimates and invoices. The automation the software allows saves us a lot of time that used to be taken up with busy work.

Cons

While the templates are very customizable, the design capabilities of the email portal leaves some to be desire (can't format certain emails).

Reasons for Switching to RepairShopr

Pros

It has lot's of features inventory management, helpdesk and ticketing system, email marketing, POS and numerous integrations that make this feature rich.

Cons

Some of the features are limited and payment gateway options are somewhat limited. It's a good mix of services but you have to put time and money into it raising the cost in one way or another

Reasons for Switching to RepairShopr

Pros

-Automated personalization customer follow-up saves a bunch of time
-Asset Tracking
-Tickets that are trackable for each customer profile
-Continued updates to enhance the entire product
-Inventory Tracking
-Estimates
-Multiple Integrations with your website for
-Parts Tracking
-Leads and turning those leads in to sales
There are so many features that I want to use but because I stay so busy, I cannot use them all. If this bothers you, you have a plethora of options that you can turn on, or turn off. You can also set each user profile to a specific group, like Tech level 1, Tech level 2, Tech level 3, and assign them each with different access to different things.

Cons

-Lack of scheduling an employee(s) although there is a clock in/clock out feature
-Lack of payroll integration, I have to use a separate program for payroll alone
-Lack of being able to hide certain notes or a specific ticket or customer profile that may be an escalated issue, where you do not want your employees seeing.
-Lack of backup options built in to the plan at no cost, Repairshopr has been very reliable since I have been using it, I am not really concerned about not having this backed up.
I cannot really come up with many cons, this product is great, if you are in the repair business just suck it up and set aside the monthly spend, it pays for itself.

Pros

Several years ago I was transitioning my business from daily PC repair to full MSP. I knew I needed a better workflow system and I needed it to be easy enough for my sub contractors as well. I tried several solutions that didn't workout before I was lucky enough to find Repairshopr. I now rely on RS as the foundation of my business. Every estimate, invoice, contract starts with RS. My team works from all over the country now providing cloud services and we use RS to keep us working together, communicating with clients, invoicing and managing recurring payments with RS third party integrations.

I'm happy with my choice everyday and twice on "Feature Friday"!

Cons

Honestly, every issue I've ever had has been fixed and even the features I requested in the past have been added...

Pros

Ease of use. Ability to text customers. Price and customer support

Cons

Lack of built in rmm. Need additional addins to perform automated tasks. Sync to quickbooks works sometimes.

Reasons for Switching to RepairShopr

Pros

Consistent stream of new features based on customer interest. Easy to learn. Peace of mind knowing that all our customer and ticket data is safe and accessible from any web capable device. Easy to setup for the first time and yet extremely customization.

Cons

Once in a while some minor functionality is lost on Friday while new features and updates are being installed. This has not stopped us from operating normally.

Pros

User friendly client repair tickets cloud console. You can be up in running in minutes. This is a great company with a lot of potential that cares. I put a suggesting for them a year ago and they did good by providing a mobile version for technicians. You can setup 2 step authentication, so your documents are secure.
Company keeps on adding new things to their product and I am amazed every time I use the product on how far they have gone.

Cons

Company looks like is heading into the mobile market. Although you can still use the console to repair tickets, the company is definitely moving in that direction and hope that they don't concentrate all their efforts in one market.
Besides that I have no compliant's as a standard user for over 3 years.

Pros

What I like most about RepairShopr is the flexibility it allows its users in creating and maintaining varying degrees of inventory items. What if you had 2 products that were "technically" the same but varied in price, varied in build quality, etc. RepairShopr allows you to create those categories from the bottom up so you can create as much nuance as needed between various inventory items while abstracting away the "back end" of these complex rules to other users. This is great because you can have rather complex "if then else" scenarios in play for how certain items are to be used and the program is able to create conditionals that only "pop up" certain items which match the complex rules that the administrator can create. This ensures that employees don't need to be told to remember these rules: As long as they work within the system, they will never make a mistake (unless it's human error, of course).

Cons

What I liked least about RepairShopr is the interface to switch between users. It's very easy, while in a rush, to overlook that another user was signed in previously. While a huge portion of that is human error and employees not paying attention, perhaps a little more thought into the user interface would prevent this human error from occurring. Perhaps, adding a picture of the employee's face or some sort of visual avatar would be great so an employee knows that another employee is signed in. I think this, overall, ties into the user interface for RepairShopr which can be somewhat technical and very utilitarian. This isn't a bad thing but a more well thought out user interface that is far more human friendly could be extremely beneficial for users overall.

Pros

It is cheap and easy. Support is OK, but email only. Sometimes you need to talk to a person.

Cons

Reporting is meh. No option for creating your own reports, so you are stuck with whatever they include. A few good integrations, but need lots more. It feels like they stopped development for RepairShopr when they released Synchro. Synchro has more integrations and features, some of which it would be nice to have, but we have an RMM already and don't want/need any of those features.

Pros

The free version is pretty much fully functional for our needs. The automated invoices are very professional looking and automate emails when an order is completed (once clicking the proper button on the site). You can keep up with the quantity of goods and keep track with how many are bought and sold over various time periods. The ticketing system works great and it's easy to tell if customers are past due with payments as well. Repeat invoices from month-to-month can be automated which is a HUGE plus and seems to always work! Designed for the IT business, but can be used for anything!

Cons

I rated low in certain aspects because the system is very convoluted compared to other softwares in this space. It seems like it takes extra steps and multiple pages to get to "checkout." I have to keep a cheat sheet handy because there isn't a simple way to invoice a customer. It would be nice if all this can be done from one screen, but the user must go to a different webpage for each step. Something else that is aggravating is the way the invoice numbering works. It's automatic and I have yet to find a way to change it. Each invoice can be changed manually, but that takes extra steps as well. None of this may matter to you, and with my subscription being free, I can't complain much. However, if I were paying, this would be something causing me to look elsewhere.

Pros

On site invoicing and payments as well as signatures and terms of service signatures. Great for communicating through ticket flows and tracking time spent on jobs as well as which employee did what. We also really love the e-mail opened feature for when the end user opens your invoice.

Cons

The Square integration is great but sometimes pulls three of the same payment, 2 of which are for $0. This can be a pain for accounting but may be a larger issue with Square and the particular device/OS that is used as we have seen patterns with certain devices and not others.

Pros

There are no pros, just unpleasant dealings every single time

Cons

No support for more than one year regarding square integration

Pros

You can search on most any aspect of information regarding any previous work.
The forms are very customizable.
The import and export features of customer information.
Customers can track their work orders and progress of repairs online.
Love the SMS text and email features.
Love the On-site appointment calendar.
Repairshopr is constantly working on new features and improvements.

Cons

It's not free.... LOL

Pros

Repairshopr is one of the best investments we have made. It allows you to consolidate your tickets in a 1 stop shop all while being able to manage inventory, update customers, and invoices. Repairshopr gives a much more modernized feel while maintaining an easy-to-use UI than some of our previous solutions. I believe my favorite feature of RepairShopr is the aiblity to provide multiple contact methods for clients, which include email, SMS, and a customer user portal.

Cons

There are not many, but one of the things I'd like to see implemented in RepairShopr is better API access to many of their modules. There are some things that we can do inhouse using RepairShopr as a shell - but without access to specific modules it makes workarounds a little tougher.

Pros

Support is great and it's designed for computer shops and MSPs

Cons

There isn't anything we don't like.

Pros

It has all the standard features a repair shop needs and then some.
The support team are always adding functions and implementing new integrations.
It is also one of the easiest products to setup and implement and does not require the extensive and expensive onboarding process a lot of other products do.

Cons

Some minor areas lack customisability and they don't have the ability to pay for express support or one of customisations. But for the price point that is a small compromise to make.

Pros

Automate just about everything for your repair shop. Billing module built in, inventory module build in, sales module with lead tracking built in, automatic billing built in, cloud printing built in, text message and email clients automatically throughout the repair process.

Cons

Anything that is buggy gets taken care of right away, so it is hard to come up with any cons. I guess because it is web based if your internet goes down you have to rely on the PDF version of all the tickets in dropbox or similar.

Pros

It was cloud based and the design was clean.

Cons

It's a cell phone repair software marketed to jewelers.

Pros

Easy of use
Integrates with payment processing directly
All in one place
Inventory management

Cons

Support can be a bit clunky to deal with, but there's tons of online documentation to address almost any basic issue.

Pros

Seamless integration for our inventory, ticketing, billing, and payment solutions.

Cons

Mobile app is just okay. A bit confusing and limited functionality. The platform is mobile-friendlyish. It works and functions great on an iPad, but it is very difficult to display so much information on a cell phone.

Pros

Has all the features I need (so far). Great weekly or biweekly updates, fantastic customer support when I have questions,

Cons

POS mode could use some improvements in the interface.

Pros

The software could be great if they hired a full time team that could actually support the software. I like the interface, when its working (which is next to never) I like the functionality. I like the ability to use SMS to communicate with our customers. Reporting customization needs major work, but I do like the reports they have.

Cons

The price for this software is WAYYY too expensive. Customer service is non existent, server downtime is too frequent, not being able to access ANYTHING when the server goes down. I have put in service calls that have taken months to answer. Cash transactions wont print receipts. No backup server to use while server is down. When server goes down, your dead in the water, you cannot look up anything or make any transactions. The software only works with like 3-4 types of printers and label makers. The label designer is horrible. Migration from previous software is terrible. It only accepts a few customizable fields from previous software and even those don't map over properly. The list goes on....

Pros

The integration with other programs makes this unstoppable!
This ties a CRM to your POS to your ticketing system. Being able to integrate all of these makes this system one of the most powerful I've worked with. It doesn't feel overbearing either. I worked with Kaseya BMS and Connectwise and both of those felt like beasts. This took a lot of key elements that those two systems have and brought them down to a retail level at a price that all companies should be able to afford.
One of the best parts is that they are always integrating new features and squashing bugs. I was always amazed at how often new useful tools were being added. I'm pretty sure they don't have a huge team, but it felt like there must be hundreds of them with what was being accomplished.

Cons

Integration with Quickbooks Desktop is limited, but Quickbooks online is excellent. I wish it had the ability to map out locations to dispatch technicians too. It will track where your clients are at, but if you are trying to schedule multiple field techs, it would be ideal if you could see specific open tickets on a map (Maybe ones labeled "Onsite") and then be able to assign them to technicians based on location.

Pros

mobile app and cloud management was nice

Cons

quickbooks integration was a one way street (sales tax didn't transfer correct, COGS didn't work at all, customers info got messed up and jumbled). work orders didn't subtotal so you had to invoice before you could see the amounts. invoice dates weren't changeable. serialized units were part of inventory. on repair tickets for units the mileage was a separate screen.

Pros

It was very convenient to have ticketing and invoicing all built into the same service until it stops working, and their support leads you high and dry.

Cons

Payments never worked scheduling never worked and when email of invoicing went down I didn't get any constructive help for 150 days

Pros

Ticketing, Invoicing, Parts ordering and Estimates/Quotes

Cons

The software vendor does very little in the way of further development of the platform. They are more focused on their MSP product Syncro. The worst is their customer support. Thankfully there is a private facebook user group.

Pros

Our company has used Repairshopr ticketing system for 3 years. We've used other order management systems and this is one of the best systems for what it does. The management software has everything we need to streamline our store from purchase orders, inventory management, check-in/check-out, managing employees, and everything in between. Features are robust and branding can be customized to give customers a great experience while in your store. Post repair, we use the Marketr features and reporting to measure customer satisfaction. Integrates w/ Quickbooks and several apps. Constantly updated with new features and development. Couldn't run our shop without it.

Cons

Most everything I have had issues with over passed on to the development team. I would say time it takes to develop firm specific features, so expanding their API capabilities so outside developers can implement more features.

Pros

The software fulfils every need we have, invoicing, ticketing, parts management, interfacing with the customer in an organized fashion, reporting, the list goes on forever (im only scratching the surface). In the rare case we need further explanation of a feature or we require support the support team is second to none. Price is very fair for everything it does. Our company completely relies on this product.

Cons

We would like to see the open invoice reminder section be developed. When relying on it for invoicing so heavily, its key to ensure constant communication is occurring between customers with outstanding balance and company. Since it syncs perfectly with quickbooks we have used external programs to handle AR, but it creates a mess of things syncing in terms of data authority.

Pros

We've been with them since beta and they've done nothing but add value to the product.
Things that used to to take many convoluted steps in my old Ticketing/PSA system are now a snap. No more keeping crazy user documents for new people to memorize before they can open the software. It's so intuitive that I just give new employees the link and their username.
It integrates with most of our tools and they are always adding new integrations.

Cons

Cloud based can cause some issues that having a on-site server rectify but as it stands we've had 99% + uptime so it's less of a con and more of an observation.

Pros

Low cost is the best feature. It is pretty easy to use aside from poorly designed features. Everything is in one place which is really nice.

Cons

The customer support is poor with very long response times If you hit on an issue that is broken we often do not get a response at all. Poorly developed features once you go beyond the basic use things don't work properly or only partially. No usable security at all so there is no way to control when employees access system or from where. Leads system is poorly done, contract system makes no sense, DOMO integration doesn't work well due to poor data management. Help desk has less features then a basic email system way underdeveloped. Credit card tokens poorly designed you can't do recurring billing beyond 5 months or you have to call the clients to get updated card info each time, merchant says that we should be able to go out as long as two years? Currently we can't recommend this to anyone beyond a one man shop who thinks they will use more then the most basic features.

Pros

What I like most is the great level of documentation and the starting walk-throughs they give you to get you up and running. Any question you have can be answered either through searching the help files or by submitting a ticket.

Cons

Frankly, RepairShopr does so much that it is hard to wrap my head around the enormity of the scope of features. A little guidance around some of the over-arching things I needed when I first started in this business would have been helpful. Then again, the help documentation and community is great. So, if you have the time, the documentation will be a big help.

Pros

the contact management and customer history function (core function of service) is a benefit to our company...but then again, that was the reason we looked for a solution.

Cons

so may of the functions are poorly developed and not fully thought out when implemented. They work in a specific way but if you deviate from them or have variables to the functionality, good luck trying to make them work. Also, their support when identifying functional issues is a complete joke. Email only, slow response and no actual action taken.

Pros

I like that I can access my information anywhere, especially can complete tickets onsite and get everything done before returning back to the office.

Cons

There are some specific requests that have been made for feature improvements that seem to be put to the back burner that everyone is complaining about.

Pros

Previous to RepairShopr I was duplicating a google doc spreadsheet for invoices. I did a lot of on-site work, so I needed something that was "cloud" based so I could log in and make an invoice on the spot. There was no real organization or structure to my invoice system, other than a folder where I would drop paid stuff vs unpaid. RepairShopr changed the way I do business, my ability to track and maintain tickets (which I previously did by hand on paper), and gave me a module to track and follow up with my customers, which I had not been doing previously. What I was doing before worked for me at the time, but once I got RepairShopr I realized how much time I was waisting, and how "broken" my system of doing things really was.

Cons

The initial setup was tough; everything has a learning curve, and I'm pretty good at figuring stuff out. Modification of each module and the fields inside the modules took a lot of time to customize to fit my business needs. There are still parts of the software that I am not utilizing to their full capacity, partially because I've never needed to, and partially because I am not sure I want to spend the time to set them up.
That being said, the fact that you can modify each module and field makes the application of this software available to many different markets, not just computer/electronics repair

Pros

Constant improvement. Good support. Supports multiple warehouses and locations well.

Cons

We've battled a little to use it seamlessly on mobile devices.

Pros

All the available feature such as Invoicing, Customer Asset Tracking, Service Ticketing System, Auto Receipt Printing, Reports, Estimate System, Sales Leads & Customer Follow-up Email System.

Cons

It's not free, seriously. I love it.

Pros

At first the were the unique software on the market

Cons

They do not fix basic issues, like to choose VAT excluded prices.
There is many users that asks for BASIC and NECESSARY features on the forum but they never develop it

Pros

Very straight forward in it's fields and categories including the options to customize to my business needs.

Cons

Changes in functionality after an update. This is more that I am speeding along and all of a sudden I realize a field has moved due to the update. An initial annoyance, but doesn't hinder the functionality.

Pros

Workflow is not overly dictated by the software. We're all different and need to be able to make use of the tools available without having the software drive our process.

Cons

We are not big on digital communications. When the device is repaired, we call the customer. I do NOT like any system that attempts to communicate with MY customers without my explicit involvement. This system can do that but it feels like I have to run around plugging all the communication holes where something might be sent to the customer.

Pros

Everything. It is easy to use and works proficiently.

Cons

The printing features could be a tiny bit faster but the support team has sent notices that they are working on this so I am confident this will not be an issue for long.

Pros

Tons of features for a low price. Great knowledge base, and support people that are very knowledgeable. They just redone the UI and it is great. Very well laid out and easy to access information.

Cons

I can't complain about anything. I would like to see a few other features, but those features have been requested and are being worked on.

Pros

The software is easy to use and navigate. The ticketing system is very customizable with the different types of fields that you can have on the intake forms. The inventory system is very helpful for keeping track of stock. The estimates system is very useful for giving customers quotes for hardware or software.

Cons

The new User Interface is a little hard to get used to after using the old interface for so long. Also if you accidentally click the serialized check box on an inventory item and update it, there is not an easy way of undoing this.

Pros

Simplicity to use and setup. The help documentation is well written and easy to follow, and support was always prompt and followed up. love the integrations, with my accounting package, office 365 and a host of others. Sames me lots of time producing invoices and always great to refer to customer history and documentation with the Wiki.

Cons

For running an after-hours computer repair business it can sometimes be hard to justify the monthly expense for the few jobs a month I do, but the time savings alone often make up for it. I would be happier with a reduced priced option to sacrifice some features such as the Marketr feature or leads feature.

Pros

Simple to import Sku's & initial set up

Cons

- sales team advised that Line Item tax would be available (Was a lie they cannot display line item tax)
-little to no integration
-Terrible service when requested for issue fix
-inventory system not to par
-minimal Automations
-No Triggers for basic tasks

Pros

It is a software will very professional and functional ticketing to repair customers which can be tracked any time after the repair is done. I liked its excellent customer service platform which sends customized emails to customers and they make follow ups a week or two after the repair to make sure everything is well. Repair costs estimates in the software makes it fast and easy to come up with the pricing for a repair. This makes Repairshopr an outstanding software in inventory tracking and management to its customers.

Cons

It can be costly because one has to use a different platform for payroll because it does not integrate one

Pros

The GUI is nice and easy despite the Americanisms, automated most of our work flow, ticketing and stock control. Made good use of current integrations.

Cons

Contracts section is not what you think it is, some integrations need to be development and worked on.
