Hi everyone,

I ran a quick search and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so hoping to get some recommendations! We want to implement a simple ERP to help us manage our growing janitorial / commercial services businesses. The simpler the better. We do not have technicians making sales in the field (like maybe a plumbing company would), but just want to provide schedules, routes, notes, photos, customer reminders, etc. Any recommendations or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

James, the functions you're asking for look like CRM functions to me.Have you looked into SalesForce?SF has a direct integration to SageIntacct and both are in the cloud - essentially creates a full function ERP.SageIntacct approaches is more from the accounting side, so scheduling etc is not there right out of the box.Some of the others like NetSuite might have those functions right away, but again, pricing becomes an issue fast.
