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. ----- ### "A top notch platform" — 5.0/5 > **Lyndsay** | *14 June 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The chat bot is very effective and informative. > > **Cons**: There are alit of features. Know how to use Fergus to its full capacity I think there could be a more simpler version for tradesman who may not be tech wise or prefer simpler tech. > > Overall Fergus is a great platform for our business. There is plenty of great tools for us to track and understand what’s happening financially in our business. It’s more than just an invoicing and scheduling system which is great\! ----- ### "Makes life easy" — 4.0/5 > **Liam** | *24 April 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very streamlined and well thought out software. 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 ----- ### "It have help us reduce admin time, which lets me have more time, either on the tools or on the boat" — 4.0/5 > **Craig** | *30 March 2018* > > **Pros**: Seamless connection from the suppliers to Fergus and then to Xero. Labour hours can be allocated, inputted they the boys and then invoiced and pays. > > **Cons**: There are some little thing in the calender that are a bit clumsy, very limited app use for an apprentice and inputting material onto a job card though the app. ----- ### "Fergus is our favourite employee" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The automation with accounting services, employees and trade suppliers so we never miss charging on materials or hours. > > **Cons**: Some fiddly bits like trying to change margins on materials in invoicing ; I also have trouble going 'back' a screen or move if i make a mistake. > > We have more time to do billable work and the peace of mind to know we haven't missed on charging for materials or time. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/155571/fergus?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/155571/fergus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
