Really innovative financial tools that are super easy to use. Great customer service (although I don't need it much because the software is quite intuitive). New and thoughtful features that obviously consider the pain builders feel with the challenges of construction accounting.

Adaptive is hyper focused on solving a critical and neglected issue with construction finance: smart and efficient day-to-day bookkeeping. Collecting cost transaction info- check. Paying bills easily via ACH - check. Tracking budget vs. actual and syncing beautifully with Quickbooks - check. The BIG SHOWSTOPPER with Adaptive though is the quick invoice/draw creation process. I can create a draw including all cost backup (i.e. images of bills and receipts) literally in under a minute. This used to take maybe an hour for really big invoices/draws, and for sure 10-20 minutes on smaller invoices/draws. Huge time savings. Big gains in reporting.

I hope to see some more development around A/R payment collection (actually collecting customer payments via the app) and around predictive budgeting (helping predict project financial outcomes mid-project).

I'm more impressed at their INCREDIBLE customer service and efforts and passion about helping US as a construction firm. They CARE deeply that we succeed, make money and manage it seamlessly. This is a big sales tool as well when explained to not only our team but also our clients.

The ease of use and accessibility to our entire team is a game changer. Everyone loves how simple it is to use and see at a glance what is happening. Its just so intuitive that even if you don't know what your doing your instinct leads you to the right thing because of how its laid out.

That they were not around 20 years ago when I started!!

Very positive. Great and fast support. Enhancements regular.

Workflow Approvals and Cost Code Accounting Accuracy

Cost - I find it expensive compared to full service construction project management software

Very happy with the experience thus far. The team is more than willing to work with us on items that we feel could be done more efficiently and are very responsive to our requests and questions.

We moved all of our financial management from Buildertrend to Adaptive because of how much better, easier to use, and streamlined Adaptive is. The automated AP cuts the time required to manage bills from our subs and get people paid.

I would like to see a client portal, but this is something they are working on

I really have enjoyed Adaptive. The ease of the software and the team has been great at being receptive to things we are working on or certain reports we need.

I used to spend hours upon hours tracking down receipts from employees and bills from subcontractors. Now, with Adaptive, me and my team just forward everything to the system and then all we have to do is review and approve. It keeps our books up to date on a daily basis, and we can run quicker reports to see everything at once.

There is a lot of things coming up with future releases and it's hard to keep up with all the changes. They are good changes coming, but I haven't been able to keep up with them all.

Adaptive has proven to be a fantastic addition to our business. Has allowed us to cut out our accounting processes and paperwork and half . Our billing and invoicing has become a breeze with Adaptive. Adaptive has become a huge asset to our business and allows us to capitalize on our time and efficiency. Love Adaptive and can't speak highly enough.

I signed up for Adaptive because I loved how the automated bills and receipt capture would sync directly into my draws. Not only does the software produce a formatted draw in just a couple of clicks, but all transaction backup is included

I have requested a few additional features, and they are working on them!

I was frustrated with Buildertrend's capabilities and switched to Adaptive to manage my financials. Adaptive's product is superior without a doubt, and their team continues to roll out new features that make it even better. With Adaptive I feel confident by books are up-to-date and accurate.

There is a bunch of built-in automation and the interface is very clean. The intuitive nature of the product saves me hours of work each week. The search feature is incredible. Onboarding was simple and fast. The support team is responsive and knowledgeable.

I want a lien waivers feature! I've been speaking with the founding team, and they are working on it.

Time is money, age old saying. Our clients only have so much time to commit to the critical financial functions of business.... Adaptive has empowered them to completely manage their finances, with less time required of them.

his is the automated bookkeeping platform purpose built for construction. There are tons of features that make life easier for construction companies--things that other companies will never think of nor do. For example, a common issue we see happening is that expenses are coded to the wrong cost code or the wrong job and then it's a pain to recognize this and re-code them after the fact. Adaptive organizes all costs by job, and then while you're reviewing your budget, it's easy to reallocate costs to the right line item (and this updates in QB as well). Another example would be that when paying bills, they allow you to sort the entire list by project. Finally, they have the ability to build custom reports that can be sent to your team on a recurring schedule, so if you want to automate your weekly reviews, you can build your reports and get those sent out

Adaptive has an ambitious goal to build a full financial management program for construction. They have moved extremely fast to build out multiple features, but I am still waiting on certain things. For example, lien waivers and a client portal. They are working on these features and they should be live soon

I run a consulting firm that helps builders set up best-in-class processes across their businesses. As part of this, I focus on opportunities to automate the process as much as possible. Adaptive is the best financial automation platform for construction that allows for easy job cost and budget tracking. The software itself is incredibly simple and easy to use. We use Quickbooks, which is incredibly painful for construction job cost tracking and job P&L tracking. Adaptive allows us to quickly see where funds have been incorrectly coded, saving tons of time we used to spend tracking down errors in Quickbooks. It also makes it very easy to see what costs have not yet been drawn for. When you forward documents to Adaptive, they read all of the information including the job code. You can then set up workflow rules so that bills for certain projects (or vendors, or cost codes, etc.) go to certain people in your company for approval. These approvals can be done from the computer or from mobile. Finally, approved costs are automatically added to budgets and you also attach them to draws. When you're paying bills, you can see which bills have been added to a draw and whether that draw has been paid yet. Our clients have been thrilled to see the detailed reporting that comes out of Adaptive which we can now easily send weekly along with their invoice. It shows them a detailed breakdown of costs, what we've drawn for, and what expenses remain. In addition, the team at Adaptive is top-notch. They respond to any and all issues within minutes and are quick to help. You can sense that they really care about understanding their customer's pain points and developing solutions.

Adaptive is a startup and they are working to roll out new features as much as possible. When they are moving this fast, there will naturally be kinks in their releases, but the support is great and they resolve any issues very quickly.

Adaptive’s AI is a game changer! We have all of our suppliers and contractors submit invoices directly to adaptive via email. The AI gets all the necessary info such as amount, invoice number, name, etc and inputs it in the system. We used to have to do all of this ourselves and it was a huge time suck. After the invoice comes in there is an approval process and once approved we pay directly through adaptive direct deposit to the payee! We used to scramble every week to meet up with all the various contractors and get them checks. Not to mention we had to write or input all the checks into the system. Another task that is streamlined by Adaptive and we have now taken 3 time sucks for our company and consolidated them. The feature I love most is budget tracking. All through adaptive you can set amounts for each line item and track those totals vs invoices and amounts paid. It gives you a real time look into where you stand financially in a project. Now what really wraps a bow on all of this is it AUTOMATICALLY synchs with QuickBooks! Yet again another step that is automated which we were manually entering before! All in all Adaptive has been incredible for our company. It feels like we hired a whole new team for financial consulting, invoicing, and accounting but without adding any additional overhead to the company! I HIGHLY recommend Adaptive. Just get it and thank me later!

It makes me feel stupid for having done all of these things in the least productive way before we implemented Adaptive!

We have been able to streamline a lot of our backend systems and processes thanks to Adaptive. I have found a substantial time savings for both myself and our office staff which has allowed us to focus on more important tasks. The support is top notch, any issues have been resolved quickly and the team is very open to suggestions and feedback to improve their product. This is a breath of fresh air after dealing with most of our other software products.

Before Adaptive, we were struggling to stay on top of bookkeeping. We went through a few bookkeeping firms and had a hard time making it work. We now use Adaptive to run all of our AP, expenses, and subcontractor payments, and we are starting to use the invoicing functionality as well. The product is very easy to use and automates a lot of processes for us. It pushes data to our quickbooks account quickly, which then is pulled into our Buildertrend project management software. This helps our team in the field stay on top of our budgets for each project in real time.

I was one of the earliest customers of Adaptive. I signed up after looking over the product at the IBS show this past February . As with any new software, there have been some kinks. However, their team is very responsive and has always fixed any issues rapidly.

AP / Draws are now lightning fast, which has shortened the pay cycle to vendors and subs, which in turn has sped up the construction schedules.

Adaptive saves our team large amounts of time, taking the brain damage out of construction accounting and allowing our in house accountants to focus on more complex and important tasks.

that they didn't implement it 10 years ago

All of the issues that comes expenses & accounts payable, It has really streamline our company for maximum efficiency and accuracy.

The software has drastically reduced our employees time on accounting & keeping cost current/ accurate. The Adaptive team is amazing as well!

I'm ready for the next feature, they cant get here fast enough!

Managing cash flow is all about understanding your costs vs. your income. Sounds simple enough, but staying on top of the day-to-day costs is actually quite difficult. Enter Adaptive. All my team has to do is forward documents to the platform and Adaptive does most of the data entry. Additionally, all documents are stored on the platform for future reference (or for providing back-up). It has helped us to streamline our financial processes and get pay apps pulled together much faster

I'm looking forward to their upcoming release of % completion billing

I am an accountant that works with construction companies. One of the most difficult parts of the job is managing AP and AR. Before Adaptive, my clients were using project management software + spreadsheets + quickbooks. All data entry was manual and then information needed to be manually moved from one place to the other. With Adaptive, we just forward all AP and expenses to the platform, route them to the right approvers for each project, and then add them to the draw. It is saving an enormous amount of time

This is a new product and the team is building fast. There are certain features I'm very much looking forward to that will make this even easier to use. For example, the team is working on allowing me to customize the mark-up on each change that happens on the draw schedule

It's been a wonderful overall experience. They have a great team that is truly interested in solving problems for contractors.

The ability to customize our payment approvals have been a game changer and the cost-plus draw functionality have improved our cash flow significantly.

We were an early adopter so there were some challenges initially, but the direct communication with the management and development team allowed for direct input on changes to the platform that met the specific needs of contractors.

Very satisfied and will continue to recommend to anyone in the building/finance industry

I really enjoy the multiple integrations Adaptive has and its ease of integrating into your company, I also have never had an issue getting in contact with an Adaptive rep to discuss any questions or concerns

Adaptive is continuously getting better but one area I originally struggled with is the UI navigation and understanding where to find certain things, with training and exposure it has gotten much easier but originally was a bit of a drag to learn

We heard about Adaptive from [sensitive content hidden] and I am very glad she tipped us off. Adaptive has completely streamlined our subcontractor payroll process and has made collecting receipts from employees a breeze. It has cut our bookkeeping workload to a third of what it was before using Adaptive. The sync with Quickbooks Desktop also works great. If I make changes in QBD, they are reflected in Adaptive. We started with their bookkeeping features, and now we are starting to use their budgeting features as well. All of the costs we are tracking automatically update the budget, making it easy for our team to stay on top of their projects. It is very user friendly and intuitive, we wouldn't consider ourselves "tech savvy" but have found this to be easy to learn and implement.

As a young software company, there were some bugs we had to work through during the initial onboarding process, but the team was highly responsive and they are constantly rolling out new features.

It's just been great. The adaptive team is very responsive, professional and always looking to improve our experience.

I love this product it has streamlined our process by leaps and bounds. It is very user friendly. When asking for certain features they customize to our needs. The support team has been great and resolve issues quickly.

I would love to see more advanced sales tax functionality built into the product.

The team can tell you I was a big skeptic when invited to participate...the next "big" thing...but I was so overwhelmed with the Adaptive team, their knowledge and understanding the application and how it integrated with my construction books. Their support, online and phone, was and is fantastic. Very personable team that does not change...I like that.

I have used so many applications built for QB Desktop, but Adaptive integrates very seamlessly. I have no concern about my data, about integrity back and forth between QB Desktop and Adaptive. Tremendous personal support.

This is phrased wrong. I see Adaptive as rolling out new functionality, and what I like least is the things I am looking forward to are not here yet! But I love that the programming team takes input from their customers and actually implements those things that make sense for all of us. I love being part of an emerging application with new features coming all the time.

My overall experience has been lovely. As an accountant for various construction companies, I use multiple receipt processing softwares, but Adaptive is my favorite out of all of them.

Unlike other receipt processing software that I've used, Adaptive is able to break down each individual line item on a receipt. This is very helpful for me, given that I often have to code different line items to different amounts in the financials. It also has a very thorough search feature which I use extensively when reviewing historical transactions.

With the detail that it is able to provide, it comes with the drawback of condensing the data and not fitting on one screen. For example, a receipt with 10 different line items, that are all different expense accounts, will require me to scroll a lot to see the totals for the different expense accounts. I wish there was a way to collapse it all into one chart.

Stellar. When I first considered buying this product. I hesitated. Looking back I wish I had Adaptive a long time ago. You won't regret this investment.

It is automatic and solved a major problem we had with getting good up to date financial optics on the company. Our team loves how easy it is to use and what used to be a major hurdle for them in expense reporting is now a breeze.

Its been really easy to train up on and the online support makes it really easy to get fast resolution on a question. We really don't have any complaints at all.

Customer service is phenomenal, the product is makes my day so much more productive, it’s great.

Adaptive notifies me whenever I make a purchase with my company card and reminds me to take a picture of the receipt and job cost the transaction. This, combined with the budgeting and bill pay software, has saved me dozens of hours per month reconciling credit card statements and entering data into QuickBooks

Nothing. I really love this product. I can’t wait for the lien waiver management system to be released.

I was one of the earliest users of Adaptive and requested lots of features, both big and small, that were important to me and my business. Adaptive has built almost all of them. I run my entire business on Adaptive and the QuickBooks integration is amazing. The time savings and productivity increases are huge

Early on in the product's development there were some bugs but those are resolved now and as an engineer myself, I can understand that!

Excellent. It cut approval and bookkeeping time for check runs by 50-75% or more.

The software integrates very well with Quickbooks. We would not have switched to new bookkeeping software. It also saves a massive amount of time and paper pushing to get invoices approved and paid.

The company is relatively new, but they keep adding features that it seems like builders have requested, which is great. Glad to know they are paying attention to their customers.
