Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

WorkWave is a field service management platform used by scheduling and dispatch teams, customer service staff, and back-office administrators. Reviewers report slow customer support response times, but praise its scheduling and dispatch capabilities, particularly for managing jobs, routes, and field operations. WorkWave recently introduced Wavelytics Decision Intelligence, an AI-driven analytics feature designed to support data-based decision-making.

Our Verdict

WorkWave is a good fit for companies with multiple technicians in the field who need to stay connected with their office staff. It helps them manage their daily schedules and recurring appointments in one place. However, pricing may feel higher, especially for smaller teams. We recommend it for large, established companies seeking centralized scheduling and field service management.

“poor customer service”

Pros

Back when Real Green owned the software, I experienced a total lack of any meaningful customer service from the company.

Cons

Regarding customer service, I have been using this software for over 20 years and, when I tried to change my subscription because I no longer use all the components, weeks passed while I attempted to get it corrected and I could barely reach anyone on the phone.

“difficulty accessing competent support”

Pros

I was able to get the product to function but only if I could locate someone competent to assist me which I could not since their back-office team clearly lacked the necessary understanding.

Cons

Honestly the level of service is dreadful, I'm essentially left to handle everything alone because the company offers no real support and it feels like nobody there cares at all.

“Costly and inflexible tool”

Pros

Great tool overall... It is great for operating a lawn spray business, handling the majority of tasks I'd expect for the modest cost I'm paying and generally meeting my day-to-day needs.

Cons

For our team, the per-user cost feels quite high and although we require easy adjustments to the software to satisfy New York reporting requirements, changes that should be simple to program, it seems that support does not currently include or prioritize this functionality.
