The real time tickets are great, the pictures are a big help for us and the owner and sales guys can access the work that has been done as well. Reports are an easy run to get different stats as well. > > **Cons**: Not much to complain about, and if we had had issues they have been on top of solutions and fixes > > We are able to get more money from the contractors for things that we didn't have proof were done and were in situations for he said she said so now have proof in pictures and are able to collect more. ----- ### "Better project management" — 4.0/5 > **Hillel** | *7 September 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: This has made it much easier for project management and a lot smoother process. Much better than the way it used to be. > > **Cons**: There are a few small things that are still not as good as i would have hoped but i can deal with them. > > Bolt shines as a comprehensive, trade-focused solution for managing construction projects—especially excelling at scheduling, estimating, and centralizing workflows with strong integrations. However, its mobile experience can significantly undermine productivity for field crews due to ongoing stability and performance concerns. If your team relies heavily on mobile access in the field, these limitations are important to weigh. ----- ### "Bolt Review" — 4.0/5 > **Teri** | *12 August 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Importing customer contact info (name, phone, email) should be automatic when a work order is generated for an occupied home. Then, a rep can ask the customer if this is still good contact info. They may have the option to change when scheduling. > > **Cons**: Viewing and scheduling work orders on calendars could improve. Seeing multiple crews and their availability, locations would help us to determine if we have someone in area on a requested day/time. ----- ### "Best scheduling software for the price\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 January 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bolt Subcontractor Software is an excellant scheduling software. Subcontractors big or small will find that this program allows for clean and accurate scheduling of crews, including the ability to add and track task to be completed. An added bonus is the ability to track contract document so that crews are able to view them whether they are on a job or working directly from an office. > > **Cons**: The mobile application could use a lot of work. Not every subcontractor or crew will have access to tablets. The mobile application is very glitchy and virtually useless unless you have a strong wifi connection. > > Overall I think the Bolt Subcontractor software can be a very useful tool for subcontractors of any size, however a more conscious effort to make the mobile app for efficient would really take this program to the next level. ----- ### "Love vs hate" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *12 August 2019* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I did/do absolutely love having any and all information pertinent to my job right at my fingertips in a matter of seconds, provided that information is valid and has been successfully uploaded onto Bolt before I need it. > > **Cons**: I did/do dislike having to order my work materials through the Bolt App. I have often come across situations where I want to order new or different materials for a job that I have previously ordered materials on. In this case, I do not know how or if it is even possible to clear the previous ordered materials before submitting a new one. > > I am ALWAYS the first man in my company to set eyes on a new job. I also make a habit of being right on time, if not early with my particular kind of installation. Before Bolt, I would often show up to a job that is ready for me and yet I cannot do what I need because of a lack of provided information on site. I very rarely have this problem now. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/390239/bolt?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/390239/bolt) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
