[deeege]

Thanks for that Rob.

I should have made myself clearer, I have already got my login details etc. I already have a bit of feedback too. I was frantically searching the AppStore looking for the app but now I realise it doesn't exist. Doh!

Cheers, Danny.

How much does it cost? Also I think some people might be worried about exposing contract info on iCloud ? Or is it safe?

[Rob @ Cleaner Planner]

Crystal-clear - please could you drop me a quick email at rob@cleanerplanner.com to discuss? I have emailed you a couple of times but maybe the email I have for you isn't correct.

deeege - glad I made sense there despite rambling on a bit Really keen to get your feedback - please can you email me when you get a mo.

P.S. Thanks Smudger

hi rob
i don't use any software only because i haven't found anything i like the look off.
i do it all by hand and by using the calendar on my iPhone,i like to book jobs in on the go and swap rebook customers on the phone as i speak to them where ever i am which i can do with the iPhone calendar.

when i get home i write them all manually into an accounts book and put a cross next to who hasn't paid,then when the cheques or bacs payments come in i mark them as paid.
doing end of months accounts is a pain in the a,,,,
adding up all my collums in a pain in the a,,,, lol

if i could find software that wasn't strict with 8 weekly and 4 weekly etc that i could drag n drop etc

COUNT ME IN


if you want to re search the way i do it more your welcome to call me

regards cliff

Hi Everyone,

You can find out more about the new features CP brings to the table such as SMS, GoCardless integration and iOS & Android apps, as well as details on plans and pricing on the new website:

www.cleanerplanner.com

Or to jump straight to the 45 day free trial:

www.cleanerplanner.com/trial

As always, I'm on hand both here on the forum and via email at rob@cleanerplanner.com to answer any questions you may have and help you set up some of the more advanced features has to offer.

If you'd like to import your latest backup or export from your existing software so you've got some data to play with simply email it over and I'll set this up for you.

I do hope you'll find time to take CP for a spin and I look forward to hearing how you get on

Cheers,

Rob

Is it possible to import all customer details, job histories and notes from wcp database?
Thanks

[Rob @ Cleaner Planner]

Hi Simon,

WCP export / import is not easy as you probably know!

But yes - we can import jobs, customers, debts and notes.

We can't import history (i.e. transactions) but then you generally wouldn't when moving to new software.

You would decide on a cut-off date and keep your old software there for a period for archiving / reference purposes.

Let me know if you have any further questions

Btw - Cleaner Planner should be a good fit for you as it works in a very similar way to WCP - revolves around planning your day / week and preparing your worksheets (printed or mobile) ahead of time which some people find is a much more organised way of working, especially if you run several vans (in CP you can assign pre-prepared worksheets to vans / operatives and that's all they see).

Thanks,

Rob

[SimonMoore]

Thanks rob. Also how do u download the iPhone app I don't see it on the app store

[Rob @ Cleaner Planner]

Hi Simon,

App's not in the app stores yet but will be soon - it's a manual download / install for now that I can walk you through.

Only really makes sense to install it once you've got set up and your head round the central web-based Cleaner Planner first.

Have you signed up for the trial yet? Feel free to drop me an email at rob@cleanerplanner.com and I'll walk you through things.

Rob

2 weeks into using George now undecided who to go for!!! Aggghhh

How much is CP gonna be per month? When is the app coming? And I'd like to know like Cliff if we are governed by the 8/6 or 4 week scheduling?

Cheers

[Rob @ Cleaner Planner]

Hi Fin,

Details of packages, pricing and free trial, as well as the new time-saving features CP brings to the table are all on the new website:

www.cleanerplanner.com

iOS and Android apps are ready and people are using them - not in the app stores yet, but I can help you install and set these up once you're up and running on web-based CP.

Scheduling is flexible in CP and fits around the way you work. Either you can stick to a rigid 4/8/12 schedule or you can for e.g. say you want to do a job monthly but only on Mondays or Tuesdays and CP will schedule it for you.

Any further questions feel free to drop me a note rob@cleanerplanner.com.

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Rob,

How easy would it be transferring all my data from excel spreadsheets onto CP.

With the GoCardless intergration, does it automatically debit a customer once you've marked the job as done, or is there still an option for the customer to pay cash on the day and to avoid a gocardless transaction?

Cheers,
Lance

[Rob @ Cleaner Planner]

Hi Lance,

Yep - Excel import should be doable providing the data is neat and tidy Please feel free to forward the XLS to rob@cleanerplanner.com and we can go from there.

GoCardless is semi-automatic which I think is best (safest). Customers who don't pay cash on the day appear on your debts list as normal. If they're set up with a DD pre-auth in GoCardless then a "Start GoCardless" button appears next to the debt. Click the button to kick off the GoCardless payment process. When the payment drops into your account the debt is automatically cleared in CP.

Any further Q's just drop me a note.

Cheers,

Rob

[sunshine windows]

Sounds great Rob.

I'll have a chat with you next week, as im home alone with the kids this weekend, so won't have a spare minute during the day and don't want to take up your evenings discussing work.

Cheers,
Lance
