  We have been customers of ********* for about 30 years. Upon Workwave taking over the software has been ibismal. We are locked into year contracts and must have a card on file to be a customer. They are not providing its customers with what we are paying for. Our sales season is very short. Realgreens software since February has been unable to fix their own bugs specifically around linked documents. The images fall off every update they do followed by weeks of "we are trying our best." We have even been directed to a ********* help manual link to fix a realgreen problem they created. We then had to spend $5,000 on outside tech support to fix What realgreens tech support (Developers of the software) cant fix after they break it... ********* customers have intermittently not been able to send customer estimates for 55 days since February. They are not holding up their end of the contract. There's a class action lawsuit in the works with other companies calling realgreen customers to get them to switch to their company leading me to believe there's also a data leak of some sort. This company has forced its customers to use only their company's leading them to charge inflated pricing on mandatory services like credit card processing. They have not lived up to they're end of the contract. It is not about the money we spend, its about the image we are portraying to our potential customers when we are un able to send an estimate branded specifically for our companies. I have turned here because i don't want to have to take these folks to court but we have been forced to obtain council. I was hoping this could have been handled differently but have been backed into a corner. Im want this issue addressed as the outcome or should be compensated for the potential loss of business, damage reputation, breech of contract, and unfair business practices for the past 3 years.

  Purchased WorkWave's PestPac software in 2021 for business.Added paid features for customer communication included email and text to clients.Fall 2023 the text function stopped working.I use this to notify customers about upcoming service. I reported to WorkWave in Oct. 2023 the text not working.They opened a work ticket, required I continue to pay for the service, & stated the issue is with their SMS software and it would be fixed soon.I had good faith they would fix ********* said they would financially make it ******** the mean time I was loosing clients due to communication issues. I am small business and this service is important to help me keep overhead down and grow.I was reporting this issue regularly to WorkWave and they strung me along promising it would fixed all the while continuing to charge ***** Oct 2024 I was told the software PestPac Lite would be terminated and new version (with a much higher prices tag of $600 instead of $250) would be required to *********** the time I thought OK I do not have options due the amount of time it takes to set up new software and I believed they would provide a good production.The new software rolls out (requiring new annual contract) & to pay up front to start new upgrade & 9 week training. I signed the contract and attended a few trainings.The upgrade was not what was promised. The software is not user friendly and the training requirement is not what was *********** this point I was reporting the issues to the WorkWave representative who up sold me. Unbeknowest to me he was no longer with the company and there was zero follow up from WorkWave. During this time I am trying to operate my business and have no software support.This went on for over a month and I had no choice to find another option so my business would not fail. When I was finally able to reach WorkWave they would not release annual contract, are requiring $600 monthly payment, or they will report me to third part collections.

  We signed up for service with pest pack/work wave in March under an assumption they would be able to get our agreements to our liking to go out to customers. After signing up, they laid off our manager/representative and we were unaware of this for over week and a half while they were billing us when finally reaching out to somebody they knew nothing about our agreement for which we signed upfor and when questioning them about it, they were unresponsive. We tried multiple times to get a hold of somebody they gave us an account manager that responded one time through a text and was unresponsive after that with both account managers they assigned us to. We asked for a refund and canceling service due to the lack of service and what we signed up for one of the managers agreed onthe refund and to get our account closed now they are trying to charge us for a full years agreement and continuously charging our card When trying to reach out to somebody it impossible to get a hold a person. For three weeks I have called on status of refund and they said it was in finance and a refund will be issued and now they are saying no refund will be given because their account manager said they never said that in which they did also their main service support team said a refund was onits way and waiting to be issued. These people are unethical and not delivering what was promised when we signed up we would like a refund as soon as possible and the account closed

  In short, I have not been a real green user since January 17 of this year. I was billed erroneously for ***** at the beginning of May. I have asked for weeks to have this charge reversed by WorkWave.To explain myself further, I was a **************** franchisee (#***) and sold my location to #***. On March 6, I notified Heroes and WorkWave that I was receiving erroneous deposits from my location that I no longer owned. It took over a month for this situation to be resolved due to lack of interest and response from your team at WorkWave. I've attached the entire email chain related to this problem. On May 4, I woke up to find a charge from WorkWave of $***** against my bank account for payment processing. I have no account at **********************, so this shouldn't happen. I immediately emailed the WorkWave team to have the charge reversed and billed to the correct people. For 3 weeks, I have been trying to get someone to respond to say how this is being handled, and I cannot get one. ***** has been completely unresponsive in that time, and I have talked to multiple members of the support team over the phone who claim he is the only person who can help me. Today someone gave me your contact info to try to solve this problem, and I hope you can. Please email me back or give me a call at **********.

  I sat through a demo which turned into a high pressure sales pitch very quickly( offer ends at midnight SIGN NOW) and signed on for real green thinking I had made the correct move for my small business I was lied to repeatedly during the sales pitch. I was told everything I needed was included in the monthly price which it indeed was not then was told I cant use X feature without X feature, all of which increased my monthly payment. One of the main features the salesman mentioned that had sold me on the software had been discontinued for a few years according to the support team when I asked why I couldnt get it to work. When I brought all of this to the attention of a manager to try and get them to make things right I was told ohh well you signed the contract alreadyThis same manager told me he was going to go back and listen to the calls to see what was promised by the salesman and if i was lied to, they would terminate the signed contract. It has been 3 weeks now and i have not heard from anybody at this company.I do not remember the managers name. *********** was *********************** I am not longer using this software and am seeking to get out of this contract as I was lied to and preyed on by a commission hungry salesman and the monthly fee which was once feasible for a small 1 person business is no longer. I have talked to MANY people with a similar experience.

  According to records from his account team, ********************** was approached by **** who was seeking its ********* software. WorkWave offered a promo which is industry standard, and the contract which outlines terms and payment, was signed on 1/19/24, with additional functionality added and signed off on on 2/15/24. Our records show no issues during onboarding, and no record of misinforming of certain features. We have record of our team reaching out to him twice on 3/8/23, 3/12, 3/13 and previously throughout February as well to further discuss.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
   I was lied to during the original sales pitch.  If you actually record the calls go back and listen to them. If the salesman had been upfront about what was and wasnt included, I wouldnt have signed on as the cost was significantly higher than my current CRM software. I was told everything I wanted/needed was included in the sales call for the $325 a month. It wasnt. I was told there was a referral tracking program which it turns out had been discontinued for 2 years according to a member of the support team. After I voiced my frustration with a manager who told me he would listen to the calls to see what was promised, I never received a follow up. Real Green/work wave didnt make any effort to reach out to me again until I submitted my complaint with the BBB. Whats sad is Ive had about a dozen people share similar experiences with me after posting my frustrations on social media.

  I agreed to start using "**********" software for my tree and lawn company. around june 2023.The people dont answer phones it takes weeks to get replies to emails sometimes not at all. So after waiting over a month to get access to the software my password and login did not work.so i contacted them and about a month later and multiple emails phone calls they gave me a functional password. when i get into the software it would not allow me to input clients into the system as it would give a "invalid format" error when trying to put in the zip code. So I was never able to use it in anyway at all. when i contacted them about the error they wanted me to help troubleshoot the software which i am a business owner i do not have time to waste fixing someones products. so they just did nothing and kept charging me. so i called and complained to the new account manager ulyssess. he said to send a letter stating i would like a refund for my previous payments and that i would like to suspend service. I did this weeks ago and they are still charging me. I tried to call their accounting no one answered. I have spent a lot of extra time with this whole situation and it has been of zero use. I wont pay for something that does not work. they are charging me a monthly fee of 190 dollars and this is the 3rd month of charges and i told them to stop. they have not and now i feel they are going to try and keep my money for something that has not functioned since day 1. I want my money back I want them to stop charging me i want them to stop my service with them.

  We passed this along to our team and according to their records, the three-month suspension we offered to make sure he was set up properly, was rejected by *******. Onboarding sessions were also rejected by *******, as well as our WorkWave University online learning sessions to help aid in the onboarding process. According to his contract, if the customer completes software onboarding within 60 days of the effective start date on this PO, WorkWave shall waive its standard onboarding fee. He did not complete or start onboarding within this timeframe. He was also asked if he knew that he was declining the follow up calls with our team due to him being too busy, and he confirmed that he understood. Our records also indicate he was sent login information on June 5th, and August 11th, where the team offered to do a complimentary follow-up call which was never utilized by *************** Our contracts are for one-year terms, which he signed.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  They are being selective about the details.  All calls I tried to return were sent to a voicemail.  They did not return these voicemail.  I cannot take a meeting when I am in a tree at some random day and time.  They made no appointments to talk to me just random calls.  They stand behind these emails that were sent to the wrong email addresses.  I didn't get a login until August 11th!  Then the software had an error invalid format in the zip codes which prevented any inputing of clients.  My support call was in October after I asked to cancel... that was needed in august.  How exactly is this an acceptable time to wait for the software to be functional.  They say I refused help? No I refused to take the help while I am in the field there is a big distinction.  And this is my point they are leaving out details on purpose.  

  So many details are left out of their response.  This is absurd.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  They have stated they are working toward a resolution.  That resolution is that they keep my money paid and they don't charge me for the rest.   Though they were going to try and see if they would refund some of my money so it doesn't burn a bridge between us.  I don't think they have earned a ***** of that money.   But for the sake of not having g to keep wasting my time as well I just want to be done with it.  I have over 10 hours in trying to get a refund for something that was not my doing.   While the ***************** or *** is trying very hard he is having to fight with other people there to try and get more for me though.  I have never seen a company fail this bad and try so hard to keep money they did not earn or deserve.  They refuse to refund me any money and are strong arming me into agreeing to just be let out of the remainder of the contract which they keep trying to charge me and put me in collections while this is going on even now.  I had to cancel my business bank card and redo all my autopays to other businesses just to stop them from taking more of my money.  This was after i notified them to not charge me again in writing via email to the account manager which they did charge me a month later and now are trying to keep that money too.

  I am a really nice guy and this has been a terrible experience and now they want to keep my money and try to charge me more and no one is communicating there.  they offer me one thing and i agree then they turn around and say we are holding you to the agreement now.  now again no one is answering the phone and here it is **** and i bought the software in may 2023 and i never got to use it or have it be a help to my company.   I am stunned at the lack of communication between them.

  We have been customers for years. They continue to add lengthy durations to our contract. They claim but do not show the contracts they say I extended. Finally I monitored to be sure I could get out of most of the contract. I agreed signed new documents to change billing and users in the agreement. They turned my techs access off mud day while they were still in the field verses letting us finish the day and new agreement started next day when new billing started. This left me with a half a dozen techs in the field blind. They had no access to where they were going next, could not reach or see who their customers were, what pesticides to be used. They could not hVe them sign for services ( which is required by law) on and on. Everyone is calling the iffice. My techs and office staff worked hours of overtime to support the teams. This is how heartless this company is. At worst I want a full month's reimbursement to cover business loss and overtime paid. At best more than that as this is a terrible thing to do to a customer you have had since 2011 and 2 companies I have owned.I am not done letting the other's in our ******** groups know never to trust or use you.

  Hi ***** - Our customers experiences are a top priority for us, so thank you for sharing your feedback with us. According to our team, you signed an agreement on 7/26, and your licenses were turned off the same day at 6:00 PM EST.

  I signed a contract with WorkWave on 2/13/23 - on one of our trainings on 3/24 we learned that they were not able to meet the needs of my company. i was supposed to be contacted from a rep that day to go over the needs I needed for my business, never was, so I sent in a cancelation request that night, within 30 business days, letting them know that i am needing to cancel my subscription. i was reach out from rep ***** *** offering more assistance on 3/27, he told me that program does offer what i need. i explained to him that during training, she informed me that the program is not set up to do the task that i needed, she said someone would contact me and i never heard from anyone so i sent in my cancelation. 3/28 was the last day i spoke to *****, then on 4/5 i got an email from WorkWave stating: Our team has reviewed your account and found that your company signed and committed to an annual monthly payment subscription agreement with WorkWave effective on 2/13/2023 with billing to commence on 5/13/2023. Your signed agreement is attached for your reference and convenience. I sent in my cancelation requestion a good 2 months prior to the commence billing date stated. They are wanting to charge me $2100 for a program that i found out on my training session was not going to work and no one contacted me as they said. They have charged me for *** and im sure ill be charged for **** as well. i do not want this contract as it does not offer what they advertise.

  Unpursuable:

  BBB is unable to locate the business.

  ********* does not offer the "answering service" they claim to sell and has overcharged my credit card several times. I did receive a refund of a few thousand dollars after 17 attempts to contact their billing department. After this experience and many, many others (including many occasions where their answering service picked up the phone and used the wrong business name when fielding calls from my clients) I decided to cancel service. They wanted me to pay a cancellation fee of $1,250. I said no since that was not part of the contract. They sent me a link to their website where you can download a PDF that contains language stating all contracts last 1 year. I've already been a customer for two years...so this is not relevant. I refuse to pay them and they are threatening to send me to collections for a debt I do not owe.

  This is not a response. They just sent a generic message saying they are looking into it. I will await an actual response with content.

  I am rejecting this response because: Again, they have not addressed any substance in the complaint. They've merely stated that they will keep my $1,250.00. I will await an actual reply.

  The team took a detailed review of this account and will be holding to the contract terms signed off on because according to records, they handled every request made in a timely manner, requests to change plans were done when asked, and the credit situation was approved and applied to the customer's account within 72 hours. Also, other than the customer stating the mispronunciation of the company name a few times, there were no calls marked inaccurate or any other complaints registered with WorkWave.

  Complaint: 18160034
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  Here is the basis of my complaint for breach of contract:

  Per Workwaves terms and conditions they will train their staff on how to answer calls.
  Based on Company Materials, Slingshot may provide script development, training, calling strategy, and program execution in coordination with Company.
  Per Workwaves terms and conditions they will try to do a decent job.
  Slingshot shall use reasonable efforts consistent with prevailing industry standards to perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner.
  Per Workwaves terms and conditions they will charge us for the amount we owe each month via our card on file.
  BY PROVIDING A PAYMENT METHOD, YOU EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZE SLINGSHOT, THROUGH ITS THIRD-PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSOR (PAYMENT PROCESSOR), TO AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE OR DEBIT COMPANYS PAYMENT METHOD(S) FOR THE AMOUNT DUE EACH MONTH.
  Workwave has breached their own contract in several ways.
  My staff requested quality control improvements 14 times via email and phone during a four month service period. Find a summary of the most common issues we experience below. We were also overbilled by $2,300 over the course of three months (February through April 2021). I contacted the billing support team 17 times by phone and email before we were refunded in May of 2021.
  Below is a sampling of the service issues we encountered:
           Customers were given incorrect pricing
           Customers were told we offer services we do not offer such as mosquito service, cricket service, emergency service on the weekends, etc.
           Customers were greeted with the wrong business name (Eco Elite Pest Control vs *****************************)
           Customers were booked even though they are not in our business service area
           Phones we disconnected for at least 12 hours.Outage was reported by clients and verified by *************************
           Customers were booked for several inspections at once, possible to boost metrics? Its unclear why.
           Customers were booked for ant appointments when the call notes clearly indicated a rodent problem
           Customers were offered the ***************** Plan when they should have been offered one time services
           Customers were put on hold for 5+ minutes without explanation, thus resulting in confused clients who hung up and then filed complaints to our office manager
  All together we were forced to contact your support team at least 31 times in just 44 working days, averaging once every 1.4 days. This standard of work displays a clear lack of training and does not meet industry standards, thus violating the agreement. We were also overbilled repeatedly which does not comply with the terms of the agreement.
