My question: What do you guys use for scheduling/routing software?

Background: I own a small company with 170 customers and have 2 employees.

Up until now I've used QXpress to handle scheduling. For what I need it works great. However I recently purchased a new computer and upgraded to Windows 7 Pro. Needless to say QXpress took a dump. QXpress was purchased by Marathon Data and it looks like they are simply milking what's left until it dies out. It hasn't been updated in a couple of years and it only works on QB Pro 2011 and earlier. It's not even set up for Windows 8.

Long story short it looks like I need a replacement before Marathon completely pulls the plug on QXpress.

Clip with quick books does it all

I have a question about Clip.

I don't guarantee customers a time for their appointment but I do guarantee them a day. In QXpress I can put customers in an order (for instance 1 through 10) and do them without having to schedule a specific time. Can I do that in Clip?

Thanks!

QClip Works great you put your customer on what day of the week you want to mow them map point will route them in order, if you don't get to them that day they'll show up the next day. Go to www.clip.com you can learn all about it

There are many different scheduling aspects in Clip. You can select times, day, weeks, manual schedulings, zone schedulings, variable schedulings, etc. You can set people up on appointments so it can show the appointment notification & select customers to put on a call ahead list. Please refer to http://www.clip.com & http://www.youtube.com/user/clipxesoftware for more information.
