Paperclip Software

[19simon]

Am thinking of taking this on despite the fact that I'm not entirely comfortable with it being rented as a service and that my data is on someone else's server.
its 1200 a year but saves me the hassle of updating the MCS manual and searching new master documents.
On the plus side if they have 200 customers and 3 people working for them it would be a lot more profitable than doing solar installs, so if it works as a business model then they will probably stay in business.

Do any users/people who have looked at it have any comments?

Should I take it on.

I use the paperclip software. Happy with it so far- Give it a trial and see how you get on

Does anyone else use this now? Im looking at giving it a try.

We use them and we are generally happy with what they do.

I use a cheaper alternative I haven't got £1200 notes to throw away every year. It doesn't do the manual but then again for £95 you can pick up an updated manual from someone like Easy MCS. I think if you're installing all the renewables and you're booked out with work for 6 months it's a reasonable buy to release some of your time but I'm not doing that so it doesn't suit me.

I get it a lot cheaper now Like most things in PV since the cuts

 

[infinity]

It's £600

That's about twice as much as I'd want to pay

So what do you use then?

Business Flow been using it for about 18 months - it doesn't do everything that Paperclip said it was going to - but then I didn't need it to. Just depends on what you need I suppose - each to their own but if I was starting out now I wouldn't want to commit to paying such a large amount out.
