Great form and function, Fantastic Support!

We've used JobPower since 1995. The program has grown with the industry, and still serves our purposes today. The support is second-to-none! Anytime I've had an issue, whether it be a question about function or an update, or just a mental-gap on my part, the support team at JP has been there!

PROS

This software is very user-friendly! It's easy to learn, use and adapt to any job cost accounting that we need.

CONS

In the Revenue program, it would be good to have a longer customer sort code, which would speed up our data entry for customer invoicing.

Abosolutely LOVED JobPower! (only switched for a lesser feature we needed)

Absolutely love it. It was perfect for us when we had less in sales per year, and it was perfect for us when we grew up to more in sales/year. I couldn't see a point where it WOULDN'T be perfect, no matter how high your sales.

PROS

It is so intuitive; very easy to use and looks good. In our office, we had users aged 17 through 77 and everyone could easily navigate the system. It has GREAT features for Construction Companies. I loved their PO system for material purchases. Their Time Entry app was simple to use. The reports were great. The WIP calculated nicely and printed plain & easy, which is important when dealing with so many different functions/numbers/aspects. The customer service is THE BEST you could receive anywhere. Always available during hours, always helpful with anything needed. They send out newsletters for updates that are laid out VERY SIMPLY, leaving no room for error. They also have a document control software that lets you keep/track/search your documents, per job. VERY helpful. I loved the way you can do W2's all electronically, too!! The job costing system is very easy and it's hard to make a mistake - it keeps things well-balanced.

CONS

After many years, we had to switch from JobPower because our highest project manager needed access in the field to do things like Field Reports and Unit/Footage Tracking, so we switched STRICTLY for this reason (but the cost to do so was outrageous with the new company... I would never have switched if we didn't HAVE TO have this other feature). This just is the only "con" I can put because it is really the reason we switched, but I'm still not sure it was worth it!

Extremely Useful!

Very rough at first while I was learning how to use it, but after many phone calls to customer support and being taught how to use JobPower, I really don't think my company could use any other software.

PROS

Once I learned how to use this software, I really don't think I could use anything else. JobPower really helps to keep track of ALL our jobs that we have going at once.

CONS

I used to work for a tax service and was used to that kind of software so learning how to use JobPower was a bit difficult, I do think that the User Guide isn't very user friendly, but the customer support makes up for that!!

Do your homework before purchasing

PROS

The customer service is very good, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] is a top notch guy and tries his very best to be of service. Im not trying to take business away from this company but i encourage a perspective buyer to really take the extra time, it may be enough for you and your business but wasnt for us.

CONS

You get what you pay for with most things and it rings true with this software. It was the least expensive thing we could find that claims it can do what we needed it to do. I feel like we were over promised on what the software can do. Dont get me wrong, it can do what was claimed with job costing, accounting, time keeping, etc but the work arounds and interface are maddening. Spend a little more money and get something you can grow into, or something with base level functionality and no workarounds. I was very disappointed once we got a clear picture of how the software was going to work and asked for a refund to which i was told resoundingly no. I strongly suggest a test run and if they wont provide one i would move on.

Reason for choosing JOBPOWER

Price.

Reasons for switching to JOBPOWER

Needed something with construction jobcosting.

Allows Multiple users... but doesn't

In general, I like JobPower. I don't have a lot of accounting experience, so the simplicity of the GL account set ups and the fact that it's difficult to accidentally post something incorrectly was a plus to me. The user manuals and checklists make it easy to make sure you aren't forgetting to add anything before closing the month, etc.

PROS

Ease of set-up; it is almost foolproof and limits mistakes someone without accounting knowledge could easily make. Simple to find information on customers, jobs, etc. Comprehensive reporting ability (can produce a report for almost everything we need) Very affordable compared to other accounting softwares Industry specific Checks to make sure your accounts are in balance and backs up every day.

CONS

It allows multiple users, but multiple users cannot be doing the same thing at the same time (for example, adding new jobs, paying bills, recording receivables), so it works best for a very small company that doesn't need multiple people in the same job role. Accounting wise, does not post items to the general ledger in a way that makes sense. For example, payroll checks will post to the check register, but net payroll won't post to the GL at the same time. So your general ledger and check register will show different balances. Also, often with reconciling the bank accounts, all cleared transactions will match the bank statement, but the difference to balance to zero will be WAY off, so you have to enter adjusting entries in the reconciliation screen, which really doesn't make much sense.
