    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.

    ***** ********e 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.

    Complaint: 23263898

    I am rejecting this response because they say this all the time with no one reaching out at all. All false statements being made by this organization. They should be really ashamed on what they are doing to people. Probably one of the most unethical companies Ive ever dealt with.


    Regards,

    ****** *****r 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

    Hi ****** - We appreciate your feedback and have passed it along to the team who took a look into your account history and contract terms, and there is unfortunately no record of a refund in our system. It does look like there were a few unattended implementation meetings, which are important to attend when it comes to learning the software in the most efficient way.

    I am rejecting this response because we did not get what we signed up for and your managers. ***** stated he would get a refund sent to us. You guys dont answer phones or reply by email at all, but we did not get what we signed up for it Is not our fault you laid off people in the organization.

    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 **********.

    Complaint: 21420548

    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.
    ard 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.
