It is designed to make the tradesman's life easier and it certainly does that well > > **Cons**: Recently they updated their pricing and it in my opinion is perhaps getting too expensive, considering there are plenty of competitors out there ----- ### "PRSL Taranaki" — 4.0/5 > **Karen** | *31 December 2021* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Easy - Very visual - custom emails responses \& templates - supplier invoice downloads (JA Russell) - field staff find easy to complete COC's and job cards - forms is easy to use for internal audits and tailgates > > **Cons**: - WIP doesn't download very well would be great if PDF Option - unable to custom status's - unable to create credits for invoices have to void then recharge - quoting reporting would be great if we could filter to groups - hazards need to be mitigated by all staff however not all staff are scheduled on works? > > There are lots of benefits that outlay the cons. Have used Nimbus \& Simpro in the past. Simpro I believe is one of the best systems however is rather expensive. ----- ### "dissatisfied" — 1.0/5 > **SHARON** | *26 May 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: simple to use. works reasonably well for invoicing. easy to add employees . integration with xero and suppliers works treasonably well. > > **Cons**: software programmers more concerned about template updates or calendrer than updates that make the system work better. No file management folders available inside jobs. Will be why we are looking into changing now to simpro as they have had this feature years. If speak to fergus get fobbed off with sometime or someone will call but they never do. > > Good program with potential but only if very small business. Not designed for anyone with more than 5employees and a few jobs at a time, developers not interested in listening to what's needed on sites. Once signed up cant talk to management ever. ----- ### "Moving in the right direction" — 4.0/5 > **Christian** | *29 April 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Desktop and mobile sites are easy to use. Integration with suppliers and accounting software is key. Scheduling is simple and easy. Just starting out with forms but that seems like a really good option. Invoicing is easy. Customer support are always knowledgeable and get the answers needed > > **Cons**: Sorry guys 2 things I know you have integrated with google calanders but I think just a calander similar to google calanders would have been suffice. I would really like to be able to look at a month display (like a widget on android) and see the upcoming work. When customers ask me when we can come back or when are we available, often I am in the field when I get asked this and being able to draw up a quick calander display would really help me. 2nd thing No inventory list of stock. Ideally I would like to have an accurate list of what is in staff members vehicles and what our holding stock is, just makes it easier when ordering or servicing breakdowns. > > I'm really positive about Fergus, I only upgraded to Pro again last month but I am trying to fully utilise its potential. Once you load up prices, favourites, forms etc it really is a wonderful addition to a tradesman's arsenal. ----- ### "Great product for any Trades company" — 4.0/5 > **Duncan** | *8 November 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - User interface is very easy for the staff to use, mobile app is very usable to for the field staff. It's really basic but does exactly what we need. > > **Cons**: We are a facilities maintenance plumbing - so an asset management portion of the software would be good as well as the Re occuring function would be very practical for us. > > Operational efficiency and purchase accuracy has increased exponentially. We purchased the product at the perfect time as we have been growing and evolving with Fergus. We could not be happier. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/44749/fergus?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/44749/fergus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
