Accurate intelligence and time saving

Bewertet am 12.3.2015

We are using WFM as the hub for our business - a central point for all our job related information....

We are using WFM as the hub for our business - a central point for all our job related information. The key saving for us is the ability to create a quote accurately which then turns into a job with tasks and costs. The tasks can be quickly assigned to a staff member and costs can quickly be organised using purchase orders. Staff can also self-manage their productivity as they can see the billable vs non billable time.

The change to WFM & Xero has halved our accounts admin time – a saving of approximately 10 hours per week! This has allowed us to focus this time into marketing and business development – further amplifying the savings. Moving to cloud based job and accounting software has given our staff more flexibility in where they work – no need to be at the office now.

Vorteile

Customer support team is fast to answer questions

Nachteile

More features and customisation in the reports to make them present better would be good

Our most recommended Workflow management app

Bewertet am 4.5.2016

In our role as cloud app integrators and implementation experts, WorkflowMax is an essential app in...

In our role as cloud app integrators and implementation experts, WorkflowMax is an essential app in Link Solutions' toolkit. We recommend it over and above any other workflow management app, and use it daily within our own business.

The depth of features is significant and can be easily adapted to suit most business processes. The flow from lead management right through delivery and then to invoicing saves countless hours of administration and can deliver significant improvements to service delivery.

Being a Xero company, the integration with Xero is understandably robust and extensive, and other useful add-on integrations are available. For example, at Link, we use Zendesk to manage our support tickets, and we're able to track our time in Zendesk and have this flow through to WorkflowMax timesheets with associated notes for reporting and billing.

Put simply, we think WorkflowMax is a great system that offers exceptional value for money.

Vorteile

* Flexible and extensive feature set that can manage most business processes

* General ease of use - while there are some traps for beginners, these are understable given the depth of features available

* It's a Xero company, and benefits from the association in terms of a strong integration, customer support standards, and ongoing development

* Pricing is excellent and suits a range of businesses from small operators through to large enterprises

* Significant job and task templating abilities allow multiple activity streams to be systematised within one application

* Powerful reporting engine with the ability to extend with custom reports

Nachteile

* Retentions and variations can be difficult to manage for construction companies

* Inventory management is non-existent, which while understandable in a workflow management app does limit use for service-based firms that also provide product

* The mobile app could do with further extensions to the range of features available

* If you are looking for a fully featured CRM that you need to integrate with a email marketing system (like Mailchimp) you may need to use a standalone app

It has been OK for production, but it came from a very low base. Good entry level product, but unless you're running a very simple process you'll outgrow it in a year or so.

Vorteile

Simple to use
Simple to set up
Integrated with Xero

Nachteile

It's easy to do a simple quote, but if you're doing anything complex... well, good luck. You're better off doing the work in Excel and dropping the numbers into WFM for tracking.

It is slower than paper, and has little inbuilt intelligence. You can add costs and tasks, and it will total them. You can't do options or variations, or cost line items.

I've asked WFM if there are improvements coming. Its been soon for a couple of years now.

We have used workflowmax for years with the integration to Xero accounting software. The software has been reliable and the added mobile upgrades have increased our insight from out of the office.

Vorteile

The software doesn't have too many features. I had just the right things that were needed for our internal staff to create basic tickets, projects and invoices for our clients. Straight forward and simple.

Nachteile

I think the software could gain a lot with a better landing page or dashboard for users. Especially Managers and the Billing side to watch the status of the jobs easier.

Useful for project costing for an SME

Bewertet am 7.1.2019

Using an app to enter hours saves us time - we are a small company so a large ERP system isn't...

Using an app to enter hours saves us time - we are a small company so a large ERP system isn't appropriate. Workflow Max isn't perfect, but it does what we need - let's us do project costing relatively easily while integrating with the accounts system we use. There are lots of 'help' videos easily found to show you how to do things.

Vorteile

The phone app makes it easy to enter time, wherever you are, and the admins can see easily who has completed and submitted time and who hasn't.

Nachteile

The reports aren't as customisable as we'd like - you can see that it's built from database fields from different tables, but only certain combinations of fields are available and it takes a while to work out which basic report is the one you need.
There are no 'sub jobs' or cost categories, so we need to use subfolders to categorise costs, or separate out project phases, which is a bit clunky.

Great product, such a timesaver

As the director of Threerooms, a graphic design agency in Nottingham, UK - I was watching my company struggle to grow because the admin demands were becoming overwhelming. We used to have job bags and job sheets, keep the record of time spent on paper — thats just seem like a historic way of doing things.

But since we implemented WorkflowMax, it’s been smooth sailing. We use WorkflowMax to manage all of our projects from the start to the finish. The great thing about WorkflowMax is that everything is integrated into one package. I can deal with the quoting part of the process, through to actually managing of the project, managing time, budgets and then move through to purchase orders and invoices -- everything in one system.

Because everything is integrated in one system, I can convert a quote into a live job by just pressing one button. When the job is complete — we can just turn it into an invoice, again just at a click of a button, and then seamlessly pushes the invoice into our accounting software Xero.

The integration with Xero is just brilliant really. Being able to just seamlessly push sales and supplier invoices straight out of workflowmax into xero is excellent. It gives us a great overall solution for the business. Together, WorkflowMax & Xero must have saved us thousands and thousands of pounds.

As a business owner, there is so much to think about — I think WorkflowMax has really given me the ability to hand over some of those responsibilities to my staff. They can use WorkflowMax to manage the project independently without any input from myself. Its given me time to work on the business rather than in the business, which is what every sort of manager really wants.

Integrates perfectly with Xero but oh so Expensive

Bewertet am 28.2.2018

Vorteile

Since Xero bought them out they have had a great product that integrates seamlessly with Xero. Reall does do just about everything for your project management and Customer Relationship management.

Nachteile

The cost of this software on top of a Xero subscription is too much, particularly if you want something as simple as recurring invoicing.

the best thing about WorkflowMax is the payroll system

Bewertet am 1.10.2014

I’m the office manager at SA Construct, a construction cladding company in Adelaide, Australia. Previously Payroll used to take a whole day, now it only takes a hour. The time saved is just massive. We enter all the supplier invoices into WorkflowMax as purchases, and then convert them into a supplier invoice. We enter about 100 supplier invoices every month into WorkflowMax. They all go into Xero − perfectly.

Once a month, I do invoicing through the job, and create sales invoices − they get seamlessly transferred into Xero just as well. The integration between WorkflowMax and Xero is as seamless as it can get. We create the invoices in WorkflowMax against each job, and they automatically go into Xero − perfectly. All the information within an invoice is seamlessly transferred, so we can we see in Xero which jobs they relate to.

For me, the best thing about WorkflowMax is the payroll system. All the guys out on site enter their time straight into WorkflowMax, and I’m able to just use the totals of their hours at the end of the month. It’s a really good organising tool, and saves on a lot of paper. Everything we need is in one place.

Excellent if you have small, stable staff numbers and no permanent on top IT support.

If you're quite tech savvy, it could probably be achieved a bit cheaper.

Vorteile

Both the desktop version and the app are easy to use and laid out for keeping the majority happy.

Integrations are a must these days and the accounting data flow is most desirable to small business and their often long-suffering accounts.

Nachteile

The pricing structure "per user " is a big turn off for me, particularly for project-based tools, this is due to the massive flux in numbers of users over a short period. It can get costly to get all your project contractors accessing project documents.

Despite the interface being "crowded", the software is still good at what it does. It helps you manage clients well. If you have an accounting practice, especially in New Zealand, you will realize the benefits that it provides in terms of tax filing for your clients.

Vorteile

WorkflowMax (now XPM) provides most of the project management's functionality that you need in for your Xero client. From adding the client in Xero, assigning jobs to staff, budgeting hours, etc. It has all your needs.

Nachteile

The software's interface is a bit crowded. There's a lot going on at each screen. It really takes time to master the software. What I find also confusing is that you can add returns for individuals under the company account where they are owners or shareholders.

overall we really like it. It is perfect for a small business with limited needs.

Vorteile

We really like workflowmax.
We started using it right after it was first released. It is very easy to use and gives us very good visibility into the costs of our projects. Back costing is so easy when all products and labour get reconciled against the project.

Nachteile

No really bad comments to be made about workflowmax. It does what it says it will and doesn't pretend to be be bigger than it is.

Timesheet entry standardised and simplified.

Bewertet am 3.12.2018

Vorteile

I particularly like the WorkflowMax app which I have loaded onto my work phone (iPhone).
I prefer to use the WorkflowMax app on my phone than the PC as I have a large number of codes and sub-codes that I have to choose from and once I have selected the 'client' it filters out all of the potential entries that I don't need, then I enter 'job' and again it filters down to just what I need to choose from. Like most people, I reeeeeally don't enjoy doing timesheets and yet I can do them in my car or anywhere out of the office quite quickly and I know that it will be updated centrally immediately . The app helps a lot in streamlining the timesheet entry process.

Nachteile

I don't like doing timesheets but that's not WorkflowMax's fault! :) I suppose if I was really picky I'd say that the PC version is a bit clunky compared to the app.

Workflowmax is an excellent product with great value

Bewertet am 5.7.2018

Vorteile

- Great value for money - does 95% of what other more sophisticated systems do at a fraction of the price
- Easy set up and implementation
- Excellent reporting functionality
- Very robust and reliable
- Leads and quoting functionality

Nachteile

I find the layout a bit clunky
While it is great for simple quotes, Workflowmax is not very suitable for complex quotations. Any quotation with more than a dozen lines become hard to follow.

WorkFlow is a great software, it allows me to save a lot of time and money, when you need to work in a team since this service is available all the time and you can coordinate the work at a distance.

Vorteile

This has been one of the best software I have used in my work. Its interface is very nice as well as being very easy to use. It allows me to carry out several projects online and that is a great advantage, you can work on them wherever you want, whenever you want.

Nachteile

WorkFlow is great software, there is absolutely nothing that you do not like. You can save a lot of time and money, when you need to work as a team since this service is available all the time and you can coordinate the work at a distance.

WorkflowMax is extremely affordable software and has very high-end reporting compared to similar priced products, while it can still be very easy to use for the basic user.

It is cloud based, secure, you can easily view your work in progress and it works seamlessly with Xero. Use it for your leads, internal projects, client work (one off and repeat), invoicing, quoting and time sheets. WorkflowMax integrates nicely with payroll software too.

If you are paying $150 a user for other software, you really do need to check it out.

Being owned by Xero, there is also a lot of development being done to make the product even better. There will soon be an app available - in the meantime it has a mobile site which is fine for time and costs.

WorkflowMax suits pretty much any business needing to manage chargeable and non-chargeable time and disbursements or materials.

There are some excellent advanced features such as emailing your job with files etc, and custom reporting which you can do yourself - no need to pay WorkflowMax to create reports for you. It is currency agnostic so can be used in any country.

We use WorkflowMax (WFM) to manage our consulting business. WFM is a comprehensive system that allows us to manage leads from initial engagement through to project quotes and estimates. All information is then transferable to our jobs allowing us to capture time against tasks, manage our time frames and account for related project costs. With all information flowing from initial input we benefit from significant efficiency with not having to double enter information. We also integrate with Google Drive for document storage and Xero for financial accounting which means between WFM and Xero we get great visibility regarding job and financial reporting. Highly recommend this product as it is usable for many different industries and has great flexibility when it comes to customisation. We now offer implementation services for WFM which we would not do if we did not believe in the product.

As accountants, we have used WFM for around 6 years in our practice. We have recommended it to many of our clients and once you have it running well - its a dream. Because we use it daily we are able to support our clients as they run and develop their own business, so WFM is a natural progression for appropriate clients.

I work with business owners to help them improve the performance of their business and have been using WorkflowMax with many clients to help them improve their systems.
Many business owners want to scale their business but don't have the systems and processes to allow them to do it effectively.
WorkflowMax forces owners to look at their systems and processes. It provides valuable information about the performance of staff (both management (did we quote it right) and delivery staff (did we deliver on time and on budget)) and jobs.
Owners can now see where they are making money and it's not always where they think it is.
Used correctly WorkflowMax is an incredibly cost effective application that will make owners money.

Vorteile

I like the most with this product is that it is really helpful when estimating the job cost of our project.

Nachteile

So far, the only thing i like the least is that when the system is down, there is a possibility that the data will not be save.
