breff Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 As an engineer I hate it, useless compared to CASH Quote The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 But it's cheap I'd agree cash is no 2 in the good software league tables Quote www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistle Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Anyone know how much CASH is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwillis Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Anyone know how much CASH is? Think it varies mate. Small ones are usually 1p or 5p larger ones up to £50. No idea, we are getting it in so would like to know what the apps like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Anyone know how much CASH is? Megabuck$ As a rough guide 30-50% more than am equivalent modules The only thing that makes cash look cheap is MAS Quote www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistle Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I will stick with AM then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterJames Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 But it's cheap I'd agree cash is no 2 in the good software league tables I dont think it is? We couldnt get it to work the new driod version is supposed to be better but I thought it was cheaper to make my own via a developer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo66 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 , is the PDA windows app the same or do they have different features? Not sure mate not seen the windows pda app. Our guys have 8 inch tablets which straight away is much better than a pda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo66 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Don't get me wrong there are issues that I would like to speak to mentor about but whether they would do anything about it remains to be seen. But you cant deny the benefits of going down this route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew.brough Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If you like. I've heard this 'it's cheaper to write your own' argument a million times and I dot buy it. Alarm master dogs danglies version is £3000 and £3k buys no time with a developer. That product took PC data years to write so unless they work for 1p an hour (trust me they don't, try £40-100 per hour if uk based) then the numbers don't stack Quote www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo66 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I came across a couple today... Cash didn't send the maintenance checklist attachment with the call so engineer couldn't complete the checklist which is then put onto an automated docket and emailed to the customer. If a customer isn't in or doesn't give you access to a pm eng has to fill the checklist out as normal but put no next to everything, sign it himself and then log a follow up for a call back. There should be a button that says 'no access' and no need to do anything more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
