I think you are being very unkind to nidge, after all he's only giving his opinion and knowledge on this company, he's warning people to stay well clear, and I for one am glad he has, I was interested in mercury and read on here about them, I then did my own research, phoned a few taxi company's in the area who new this company director very well, and they all said the same thing, it's a pirate copy and stay well clear, I then did a director check on Westminster holdings and there he was. So some of us are very glad there are people like nidge to warn us about these type of people.
You can't please everyone can you? I've been in this game far to long and I've seen firms get ripped off by companies who offer the world yet give you nothing.
Exel won't be around for much longer.
Ok then so all the software is stolen so why are the police involved
The software is pirated so why arnt F.A.C.T involved
The director ripped the miners off so why arnt the fraud squad involved
Why arnt diplomat doing anything about it. If it was my stuff that had been stolen then i would do something about it. maybe us country folk are different to you city fellas. And i agree 100% in what you say about warning people about stuff thats no good. and quite rightly nidge is entilted to a opinion.
We run mercury so when nidge comes on and start slating in (rightly or wrongly) and saying the firm is going down the pan then we take notice as we dont want to be caught out and left with no dispatch system. So we listen and then ask questions and all nidge says is that "its a load off bollock" or "its run by crooks and robs people" so on quite a few occasions ive ask him to explain but he dosnt/wont or cant explain how so it must just be his own opinion. So now we work it on the facts that are in front of us and that is what nidge says and what we know.
Nidges comments = he wont explain to us if he dosnt want to do it on a open forum il gladly pm him a mobile no also we are down doncaster twice a month so could meet for a cuppa.
mercury system = weve had it 3 years and its never let us down any issues are always on the human side drivers/clerkes and owners doing it wrong. weve had no issues with mercury support we phone and they sort it out and always within a good timescale
so without nidges fact to put into the mix we have to say the system is good and recomend it to other firms.
Mancity. if the software is pirated then thats even better isnt it because no court in the land would enforce a contract thats built on pirated software so anybody thats not happy can just walk away from the contract cant they. And mercury couldnt do a thing about it. As for the director well i dont know him so cant comment but one thing i can tell you is he wont be the only director or taxis driver with a dodgy past will he.
As for being unkind to nidge. Well thats not our intention but hes a grown man and hell adjust and im sure hes been called worse in the past
