I am one of those people that if something isn't working for me almost instantly and their is no general guides that I can go back and double check then I am out .

With greatest of respect I am sure Rob has done a great job but if it don't jump out it's no good to me .

As posted with Aworka I click on a job in the planner and my options are instantly displayed I mark it done and payment method made or not click save and next job loads up it could not be any easier .

I click on a job in the planner on cleaner planner I am redirected to another page to manage custys details no sign of marking job done or paid or invoice .

I don't want to have to spend time on the phone or emailing to work out how to work something that should be simple and straight forward and make my life easier . Mike

Thanks Mike.

Formal documentation is certainly something I'll get to in time, but for now I'm finding it more productive to speak with people directly to find out exactly what they need from the software.

Thanks Michael - I had a good chat with Andy (earlier in the thread) yesterday about drag and drop (he emailed me asking if I was going to add it) and it seems the point is, with Aworka you need D&D to bunt your work around on the planner to get it to show up on the worksheet because it's essentially a report on what's due, rather than a list that you can add or remove jobs from directly.

With CP, you don't need to change a job's due date to get it to show up on a worksheet. You add it to a worksheet directly (from the planner, rounds or jobs page) because you know it needs doing, based on the due date yes, but potentially other factors as well - e.g. it might be a new or important job that you want to tack on to the end of today's round, or a bunch of jobs that (for whatever reason) you want to do early or catch up on because they're overdue.

It's a different way of working that some find preferable to the D&D planner style (once they've tried it for a few weeks) and some don't - it's a personal preference thing :)

Pure H20 - answers below ;)

Web-based interface (full CP) yes. Mobile app no... although I'm not ruling out building a Windows version if the demand is there :)

Will i finish my work earlier today?

If you switch over to CP, yes ;) Joking aside, what software do you use currently? If you currently do all your end of day data entry manually from paper worksheets then using the CP app (on an Android or iPhone for now) will mean this is all done and dusted when you get in, just upload, submit and call the takeaway outlet of your choice (CP can't do that for you, yet ;))

Will i get a takeaway tonight?

See above.

Are you looking to get several cheap ones or one good one?

iPad mini is the best IMO though not cheap!

I would definitely go iPad then - much quicker and slicker IMO.

iPad mini is a nice compromise if you go for the retina as it's got the same screen resolution as the full size iPad but in a more compact format so more practical while out and about.

You will need wifi or 3/4G to access the full web-based Cleaner Planner.

The mobile app works offline (you upload/download at start/end of day) so you don't need any signal while out and about.

I'd definitely get an iPad if it was for me running it, we use Hudl by Tesco, and they are fine, but you get what you pay for, and for staff, these do the job.
