C/F Data Systems STRUCTURE Construction Software

CF/Data software run almost our entire business and it is great to have everything all in one place and great customer support whenever needed!

Ease of creating PO's for vendors.

It took us from Manual paperwork to doing things on the computer. The thing I like the most was the PO system. Be able to email PO directly to our Vendors was life changing for me.

Streamlined work functions

Cost reporting in a real time

Streamlining our office processes, time saved by having less transactions without info that have to be researched before being processed, the document management has allowed sales people to easily access documents and complete their own project research rather than reaching out to AP to get invoice copies and such.

All our processes from accounting to HR to service in one portal!

We are able to run our business more efficiently. We can check our profitability per job, division, and overall company quickly.

I work for a flooring contractor and we switched over to STRUCTURE on 1/1/12. We were attracted to this software because none of our departments were integrated together (i.e. estimating to ordering to accounts payable to the warehouse). So we had to enter everything several different times and that causes mistakes. Also, not everyone was informed about what was happening with jobs and now everything is right in one place! I found STRUCTURE easy to learn because they have THE BEST customer support. We call all the time with big and small questions and they are always willing to help us or to research things if they don't know. In the beginning we were calling a couple times a day but because they are such wonderful teachers we might only call once a week (if that). The only downside I have found is that STRUCTURE feels a little antiquated, but I still feel it's a definite step up from what we had.

I work for a subcontractor in Tennessee. Our scope or work ranges from site work / underground utilities to waterproofing, caulking, roofing up to erecting pre-eng metal buildings. The accounting program we had was not able to efficiently handle our varied workload. In 1999 after much research, we invested in STRUCTURE and have never had one regret with our decision. The program is easy to navigate and the training provided by C/F Data Systems was invaluable. When our comptroller left unexpectedly in 2003, we were able to pick up and go on without a hitch. In today's market, one person has to do the jobs that two or three would have done in the past. STRUCTURE is a valuable tool that allows you to make the most of your time and effort. Job costing was always an issue with our company, and our project managers always complained with our old system; but STRUCTURE has eliminated the dissatisfaction. It provides a system that generates the information we need in a timely fashion and in a format that is easy to understand. Customer support at C/F Data Systems is highly qualified to meet and exceed their customers' expectations. C/F Data maintains a line of communication with their customers through newsletters and emails and is always making revisions/updates/improvements as needed based upon the feedback they receive and the evolving industry. I give Structure my highest recommendations; Ease of use, excellent customer service, and Cutting edge technology - what more could you ask for?

Having utilized STRUCTURE as an employee (Controller) and also as a consultant to the construction industry, including contractors that use STRUCTURE, I've had the opportunity to see Structure used by small and large contractors, accounting and non-accounting personnel, sub-contractors and general contractors, over various business types. By far, STRUCTURE offers the most complete package, competitive price, high degree of "user friendliness", and support team readily available to answer your questions. My opinion is a result of over 20 years of experience partnering with C/F Data Systems. When evaluating job cost/accounting software, one of the features that is very important is the report writing capabilities. STRUCTURE gets very high marks from me when compared to other industry software products. Nothing is as easy to use, or create, across the modules, as STRUCTURE. This system provides contractors with: job costing information they need to manage their projects and their company; the modules required to process everything in house to create that information (A/P, A/R, payroll, G/L, etc.), and by processing the information in-house, it is a more cost effective and timely process. The financial reporting features are very solid. Often times, the ability to provide internal financials is a big plus with banks, bonding companies, etc. and is very helpful in running and growing your business. I would be happy to further discuss more features and benefits of using STRUCTURE, please let me know if i can help.

When I first started working for New England Finish in 1997 the software we had was lacking, to say the least. A general contractor suggested I take a look at C/F Data Systems. I have used a lot of different accounting packages over the years and I have to say that C/F Data Systems is one of the best. I now have 5 companies (drywall, paint, demolition, ceilings and doors/hardware) using the software. I have trained many people in my office to use the software with ease. 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. The staff is like one big family, and they treat their customers that way as well. Support is always top notch and being able to communicate and receive "wish list" items for specific reports and procedures for my companies has been invaluable. I highly recommend this software to any subcontractor.

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. Whether you are entering payables or managing a multi-million dollar project, the logical menus make it easy to enter or obtain the data you need instantly. If you do have an issue, a knowledgeable and helpful C/F Data tech is always available to help. Most recently we had a new company set up on a holiday, so it didn't interfere with our normal workday.

I would not use any other software. In my previous company I had used STRUCTURE for over 8 years. While setting up my current company I did have the opportunity to review and change software. There is no comparison. The software is easy to use, functions smoothly, and is customizable. C/F Data Systems is constantly upgrading and incorporating user ideas. It is also important to note that their customer service completes the whole package. I would highly recommend STRUCTURE.
