No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2.5/5 - Customer support: 4.5/5 - Functionality: 2.5/5 #### Pros I like the ability to choose several jobs for a report at one time and that they don't need to be in order. Document scanning and indexing is very fast and easy; we can index to several modules at the same time too, such as an A/P invoice indexed both to the vendor and to the job. #### Cons We're unable to change entries once they have been posted; there's no editing allowed. You have to either void and re-enter or enter a reversing entry and then the correct one. We're unable to search for the job number, client, or G/L entry you're looking for. All reports balloon up super large, and if you resize smaller, you get a tiny little box that you then have to manually enlarge to a normal size window. --- ### Flexible software suite designed tailored to construction companies - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Craig D. - Industry: Glass, Ceramics & Concrete - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
