Anyone for new software?

[robmorgan]

Evening folks,

I'll cut to it. A decade or so ago () I built a thing called CleanerPlanner. Seems it stood the test of time pretty well, but is now starting to show its age, and hasn't moved forward in years.

A couple of windies have reached out recently to ask if I have a new round management app in the pipeline. I don't - yet - though I'm starting to think it might not be the stupidest of ideas!

They mentioned features such as Xero integration, an API (to enable automations, e.g. with Zapier) as being missing from other apps, as well as reliability and reporting issues and limitations.

And look, if we were to build something new, it would be a blank canvas - I'd love to hear all the cool ideas you guys have for reinventing the game and taking WC software to the next level!

But, big but...

I only want to build something you guys actually want. So if you're happy with the options that are already on the market - honestly - just tell me to move on, you'll be doing me a favour

So what do you think - yay or nay?

If yay - I'd love to hear what features you have in mind! And/or even just little things that bug you about the other apps out there.

If nay - no hard feelings! Just looking for clarity either way.

Cheers,

Rob

I still use Cleaner Planner and it does all I need it to do at present but HMRC are bringing in making tax digital in the next few years for all self employed (including those earning less than 50k a year) so we will all be forced to submit accounts through HMRC approved software every 3 months which will mean inputting 2 lots of data and increasing admin unless there's a solution through bridging software or an all in one window cleaning program that can easily be uploaded into making tax digital......

@robmorgan good to see you on here it's been a very long time since we had any contact, it would be potentially interesting to see what you could bring, I think one issue which may have already been resolved is the switching of GoCardless customers over to another app,

I do really like what you built with CP which is why I haven't switched over to anything else, but it has barely changed in over 10 years also not that I really needed it but the customer service with cp isn't great and the app does run into issues which never seemed to get resolved.
