Structure seamlessly allows you to gather information from accounts payable, payroll, and job costing to billing customers. This is a great program when job costing is a priority.

There inst really anything I dislike about the software.

We started using STRUCTURE in 2001, and have had a great experience right from the start. Ease of use and customer service are the two qualities that come to mind when describing the software.

I like that it is user friendly and easy to navigate. If and when I do have an issue, I like that I can call the call center and get online/screen grab feature to help me out.

In order to keep it simple sometimes features are missing but the essentials are there and with every update we get more and more features.

The customer service is awesome, I love that they can log in and help you solve issues that cannot be fixed over the phone.

The customer service is awesome - quick response. They are always making improvements and updates.

When evaluating job cost/accounting software, one of the features that is very important is the report writing capabilities.

I have always been impressed with the staff at C/F Data and the fact that I am still dealing with the same people after all these years is a true testament to the quality of the company.

Bent use the AP, AR, GL, Purchase Orders, Payroll, Work Orders, and Project Management modules, all the modules integrate seamlessly. Their support is outstanding and they listen to their users.

I give Structure my highest recommendations; Ease of use, excellent customer service, and Cutting edge technology - what more could you ask for.

STRUCTURE is a wonderful program. We are a structural Steel Fabricator.

Being able to print service reports is a great feature. Tech link is a great function and has added more flexibility and timely billing to our system.

I can only give my opinion on the basic software. Saying that I feel it is a good program for what it can do.

They were with me every step of the way supportive and inquisitive; making sure I was making the best use of their product.

Ease of use and the ability to adjust the modules and reports is very helpful.

It is very easy to learn, and it is all integrated. If there is ever an issue, the customer support team is very helpful, and will not let you walk away until the problem is fixed.

When there's a problem it doesn't give you much info.

We cannot say enough good things about the support staff. They are patient, kind, understanding and funny.

AIA invoices you can't make corrections after you post them you have to void them and it is too time consuming. Statement are hard to read per our customers.

I would HIGHLY recommend C/F Data Systems to any company looking to improve their bottom line, because they are fantastic.

The program is easy to navigate and the C/F Data staff is always ready to help with any questions or suggestions. Their programs are a great tool that makes my job much more efficient and time saving.

Not everyone learns at the same rate and everyone hates change.

The applications are user friendly and the closing per month  is quick and efficient. If you encounter any difficulties the support is outstanding.

Looking forward to discovering more efficiencies we were unaware of previously.

We also use the software for AR, AP, inventory, and check reconciliation. Overall VMS is a good product, and has great customer service.

It is a fully integrated product from purchase orders to dispatch to all things financial. We don't have to go outside the VMS product for supporting software such as an accounting product.

It is great to visit with them every year and to know there is a friend on the other end of the support line when we need it.

Ability to transfer Estimate to Job Cost and Service. The ease of searching  is great.

All software has issues and the client portal allows us to log issues and check the progress. The staff is courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Top marks for customer support. Having an integrated solution for all our business is very efficient.

My biggest issue though is how difficult it can be to get some new set up by programming. Anything custom is expensive and takes forever.

Having such a great customer service team when dealing with software changes and updates, even when trying to navigate areas in the program your company has yet utilized they have never let us down.

No or very little training on the software. No idea how to use most of it.

We always come back from the conference with new information and ideas for improving our workflow. Above everything else, we value the Vertical Market Support staff.

The support was, and continues to be great, and I have the highest degree of confidence when I do have to call that issues are taken care of quickly. These guys really deserve an award.

Vast number of reports, very diverse in what you can pull. Ability to save to queue to have a history of all transactions.

The support from VMS is great, they are always very helpful and responsive. The product is easy to use and navigate, and we are very happy.

It has great functionality, and it's user friendly.

I know we will see better tracking between warehouses once everyone gets it under control.

It is a very powerful accounting software. If used properly it can do a lot of amazing things.

The ease of usability, easy to find what i am looking for and track my work flow. The ability to change the sites that we take care of.

STRUCTURE Blue, by C/F Data Systems, is a construction management system that combines accounting, project management, and service management in a single package.


STRUCTURE Blue is designed for specialty service contractors, including earthwork, electrical and teledata, finishing contractors, mechanical, HVAC, ductwork, plumbing, roofing, and others.

The accounting module is feature-rich and includes many construction-specific features such as AIA billing, time and materials billing, equipment tracking, prevailing wage reports, insurance certificates, and more. The solution also includes typical core accounting software capabilities like general ledger, AP/AR, and purchase orders. STRUCTURE Blue also offers procurement, payroll processing, and order entry in the accounting module. Accounting can be purchased by itself as a stand-alone system, but the project management and service management modules have to be purchased together in an integrated suite.
