Joist – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

Great software tool for the construction industry, does what it needs to to send out basic estimates and invoices to customers

Nachteile

this software is expensive and doesn't go the extra mile
hard to use and understand
does not track percentages correctly nor does it show the percentage of billing to the customers

Vorteile

For Free software I can't complain - it does a great job at almost everything. I have several friends that are now using it and love it. I don't use Quick Books but it does have a sync feature if you use QB.

It takes a little getting use to when adding Items and clients but once it is set up it is awesome!!

Nachteile

The only problem I am having is sending email from my Samsung Galaxy Tab A device. I can create invoices but when I send them it acts like it works but doesn't send anything. I have had a ticket open for several weeks with little being done.

I can send from my PC and my Phone but not my tablet. It is like it does not send my email request to the Joist server. I believe the problem to be with the APP itself.

I am waiting on someone to call me that can look at my account while I am sending email to see what if anything they are getting from my app.

Vorteile

Speed is king with Joist, whether using their web interface or the excellent mobile app. The app is fast and responsive, even when operating on a fairly weak data connection. For quick and dirty invoicing, it's hard to beat the speed and efficiency of Joist.

Nachteile

For recurring customers that like to pay ahead, I wish there was an account credit feature where you could add a credit to the customer account and then simply apply remaining credit to a new outstanding invoice.

Vorteile

Very user friendly and looks great. Estimates and invoices look very clean and professional. Customers can pay with credit card or electronic check, excellent feature.

Nachteile

Like all of it. There should be a way to notify and remind customers that they have an unpaid invoice.

Vorteile

This software is pretty straightforward easy to set up and use

Nachteile

Difficulty in setting up the banking feature ask for a lot of information

Vorteile

Simplicity, easy to use, keep every record.

Nachteile

When you sign or your customer and you modify the document you have to sign again, and again.......

Vorteile

I was able to start with a trial version then later i purchased a full product because it was helpful for my accounting and all round cost estimation daily, and i also document every payment made daily

Nachteile

the challenge involves sending invoices has emails, i think the product experience some network or web glitch, and the interface resolution not too good enough, but still manageable

Vorteile

This program does everything high priced software does, and it absolutely FREE!!!

And not only is it not bogged down by ads, the developer has been adding more free stuff at a rapid pace, from taking credit card payments and e-checks directly though the app, to adding features to the quotes and bills themselves.

Now, while this software is made for general contractors, i use this for my own art and technology business.

And the few times I had questions, emails were returned with in hours!

Nachteile

To be honest, there really are no cons to this software. It is truly a work of art. You can tell that this app was created by someone who truly "gets it".

Vorteile

I liked how it was an estimating software and a CRM all in one. I also loved that I could send out formal Invoices.

Nachteile

It didn't have any way to have customers pay online which made my job a lot more difficult since I had to chase down payments and wait for checks.

Vorteile

The Joist interface is all about speed and ease of use. Even on slow network connections, Joist remained zippy and far less painful to use than other cloud-based systems. Solid set of features, even in the free version.

Nachteile

We deal with a lot of monthly-invoiced, repeat customers. I wish Joist would add support for customer credits. Some of our customers would send a large check to cover several months, and there is no easy way to make Joist account for this scenario. We ultimately moved to another invoicing platform, but would certainly reconsider Joist if this feature is ever added.

Vorteile

It was easy to build an estimate and input customer information.

Nachteile

It is not trackable like other programs we have found.

Vorteile

Easy flow platform, had everything that I needed at the time for free.

Nachteile

Ended up taking the free version away. My business was still new and I wasn’t sure if this was the best option for me so I decided to try something else.

Vorteile

Joist gives you the ability to keep track of customer information, produce invoices onsite, and bill all in the same package.

Nachteile

It didn't have all of the features I was looking for.

Vorteile

The mobile app and web interface are outstanding. It is so easy to generate a quote, invoice clients and record payment. The ability to email or text the invoice to clients is awesome. Custom contracts and phone inclusion allow for a wide range of customization. The ability to export clients is a huge time saver. I love how I can get an email copy of what is sent to the client.

Nachteile

The function on the mobile app and the web interface are different. I wish it had the ability to export info to excel or other format.

Vorteile

The ease of use and ability to make simile changes on the fly.

Nachteile

Super limited in use. Does not have drop down menus of materials or labor costs in each industry.

Vorteile

I like the estimate and invoice feature the most

Nachteile

would be better if I can import contacts directly from my phonebook

Vorteile

Great program always works and easy to use.

Nachteile

Can not find anything wrong very happy.

Vorteile

This has been an excellent product that our company uses for estimates. The best feature is that it is free! The presentation is clean and simple. We love the product and the customer service is great.

Nachteile

Would love to see a Good, Best, Better format in the future. We would definitely pay for a subscription for that format.

Vorteile

As an end user, the experience was great. I received an invoice from a subcontractor for ~$13K. I was quickly able to click and pay, but then...

Nachteile

A month after I made the payment the subcontractor called us for collections. After a lot of back and forth, it hasn't been resolved. Chatting with their support today their response was "I see the delay and I completely hear you, You could ask the contractor to contact us and we would be able to speak to him and help him with this definitely." Essentially, other payment apps like square are same day or next day payouts. They are now asking that I send joist photos of the job and sign documentation. Is this a payment app or title company? In short, we stepped into a mess with this app.

Vorteile

I like the estimate and invoice section NOT the online payment part

Nachteile

I had a client make a payment over 10 days ago over $10000. AND i HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED IT! There is no phone number on app so you have to go through a "chat" system and basically no excuse just a sorry and it will be deposited on the 3rd which will make it 13 days total. This is unacceptable I have a whole job that has stalled due to this! The last payment my client made took a week and it was $720.00 I will never ever use this app again!

Vorteile

It was convenient to use as far as sending estimates.

Nachteile

The fact that you are unable to get in contact with customer support. I have had documents in review for over 3 weeks. One of my clients made a payment 2 weeks ago and I have been trying to contact someone from Joist to try and get access to my money with no luck! So for over a month I have been trying to get in contact with someone from customer support.

Vorteile

Easy to navigate
Can input pictures in the estimates/invoices

Nachteile

Can't assign more than one user
Can't search a customer by anything other than the name

Vorteile

The software is web based, in other words it does not reside on your local computer. But it doesn't matter since all you invoices, estimates and bids reside online. This is very simple software to get used to even for busy contractors. My thanks to the developers.

Vorteile

It is easy to use to provide a bid or invoice. DO NOT USE IT FOR PAYMENTS!!

Nachteile

DO NOT USE THIS APP FOR ANY PAYMENTS. IT IS POSSIBLY THE WORST I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Vorteile

Great software for preparing and submitting field estimates while on job site.

Nachteile

We need the ability to include our contract verbage into the proposal at the time sent for client approval.

Vorteile

I really liked that is was easy to use. Simple to set up pay invoices that were sent. Can save data if want

Nachteile

Some issues with submitting payment. Not excepting payment that was submitted after the first time..

Vorteile

gives you a nice platform for estimating and invoicing simple but professional

Nachteile

its limited to financial aspect. its not for managing project or tracking.

Vorteile

easy to use and maneuver around.

Nachteile

Needs to have links to tax rates
