Real Success Stories

Thousands of happy customers

Thank you so much for offering the training class (Aptora University) this week. I enjoyed the class and all who participated. The presentation, Q&A and interactions were extremely insightful. I appreciated being able to interact with the staff and others who use the software as well. The training course has really helped me to take what I know to a new level in using the software. I highly recommend others who are using it to participate whenever they have the opportunity. We, at Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc., have been using TOM for 5 years and Aptora Mobile for over a year. We are extremely pleased with what it has to offer and the ability to grow with us. The support has also been amazing. Anytime I have questions, they are quickly answered. I don’t just feel like a client, I feel like a friend.

Aptora is really a lifesaver, this software is so useful and so customizable that every contractor can use it. The staff and support techs are fantastic. If you see any negative reviews for this company it is because the people who posted them never took the time to learn how to use the software properly!!!

Today we are on our way home from Aptora University and have been reflecting on our investment in the training. Was it worth it, totally! We are going back energized and excited about implementing what we have learned. If there was one thing I could tell a new user or upset user it’s this, none of us run our business’ the same so why would we want software that only gives us one way to do it. As business owners, we are constantly trying to “think outside of the box” and thankfully TOM does too. This allows us to use it the way it works best for our business. My suggestion is to get familiar with the software and then invest in training. BTW thank you to Arika and Bryant for all of the extra time you spent with so many of us to help us with our individual questions.
