I own and operate a small low voltage company in VA. We mostly work
with residential networks, telephone systems etc, however we've been
getting opportunites for some larger contracts with new Bed Bath and
Beyonds and the like. Manageing all of my employees across different
jobs has become a challage. Does anyone know of an solutions out
there? Thanks in Advance.

The trial version doesn't look complete. The Lite version is
affordable but it excludes a lot of the options, plus no web interface.
I am on the road alot and would like to be able to access remotely. I
found http://www.yourwots.com and contacted them. They are a start up
and have given me a free account to try out their online tool.
Truthfully, I haven't had too much time to put it to use just yet but
from looking at it is seems to have all the functionality that I
require. It is basic but according to the person I spoke to the system
is constantly evolving... I remain skeptical at this point but it's
free, no credit cards needed so I am going to give it a try. I will
post after having a chance to use it.

So I signed up for the free trial and I put it to use for this week. I
have my front desk employee enter the jobs into the system once they
come in. She isn't the most computer literate person in the world but
she picked it up quickly. Some of the things I found to be most useful
about it...
Employee Roladex for resource information tracking
Client Roladex too,
You can email directly from the web site, either one client(or
employee) at a time or every client (or employee) at a time.
The jobs appear in different catagories of completion, and they are
customizable. (New, In Progress, Invoice, Completed etc.)
You can have different types of jobs (residential or commercial). I
think that this is customizable as well.
You can view by job type with a click of a button.
Once you click on a job in the job lists, it drills down into the
details of the job (all of the specifics)
There is a neat online messaging system that allows each person viewing
a job to leave a note for the next reader to view.
There is an administrative console for adding employees, clients, etc.
These are just a few, I must say that it has already proven to be a
timesaver just because I have my techs view their assigned jobs in the
morning before driving to the office, they usually have all the tools
and supplies in their van so they can head off right to the site saving
a lot of time in the morning.

The creator speaks directly to me on the phone, (he has just started
the site) and is very accomidating and interested in my needs a
business owner. I am going to give a review at the end of the trial (1
month) and see if I am going to sign up or not, but it is looking like
something that is really going to help me out.
