What do you like best about Novagems?

A medium sized business can utilize this app for so many beneficial functions. Scheduling, tour checkpoints, customizable reports, geofence location and tracking, license expiration notifications, and so much more. We love the cost and effectiveness at the current stage of our company growth and their support team is always willing to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novagems?

There are a few issues like logging you out of your mobile app if you log in to your back office. If you are a manager it's a separate app then the staff app but it limits you to function in place of your staff if for instance a manager has to cover their shift. Also, a field manager cannot make reports or check in's about a site or guard.

If you need this app for parking management, say at a condo or plaza, you cannot log license plates and search past violations for that vehicle or person regarding trespassing. The time interval for checkpoints or tours can be a little confusing also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Novagems solving and how is that benefiting you?

They solved break times in the past time with a time limit which helped our accounting team determine how much time needed to be deducted from their schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Novagems?

Pretty nuetral across the platform right now. I am still currently learning more about the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novagems?

The inability to create a working "master" schedule like winteam or salesforce. The inability for the system to create a rolling over master for each site is too time consuming. The "method" used to create a "master" is unorthodox as it requires an update every 6 months.

Shifts should be able to rollover with the ability to keep officers in that shift until they are removed or leave the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Novagems solving and how is that benefiting you?

Novagems is the standing platform right now, and its solving our security guard tracking needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Novagems?

The GPS tracking and geo-fencing is very helpful for employee and client accountability. Extremely easy to create tasks, patrol routes, and QR code tours. You can customize issue types and levels, which is incredibly useful for unique job sites. Many filter options for reporting allow you to adjust to your or the client's specific needs. It will enable you to store SOPs, images, and information easily accessed by employees. The customer service support is very helpful and always open to suggestions. Overall, it is the best scheduling, reporting, and patrol system I've ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Novagems?

There are some limitations on reporting and the ability to sort or remove issue types. The support team has been very responsive and working on a fix. It's not really a complaint since Novagems is always actively working to improve features based on feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Novagems solving and how is that benefiting you?

Originally, we had some bugs with reporting, but they were quick to investigate and solve the issue. They have taken our feedback about reporting and other features, which they plan to implement. Very easy to work with Novagems support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
