I dislike the length of time it takes to get to a complete resolution on issues that are found in the software.

Having the ability to customize reports and letters, as well as track data and due dates, is so beneficial. The CGC staff is certainly worth commenting on.

ECMS is updating the software constantly to provide the customer with the best product. The menu options are very organized, giving you the ability to navigate quickly and efficiently.

For me the best feature about the software is the Reporting. Every construction ERP that we reviewed  did not have a powerful Biz Intelligence reporting writing tool.

The system need a custom installation and very difficult to try to understand.

The customer support has remained strong. CGC modules we like best are Accounts Payable, Document Imaging and Workflow routing, IBM software maintenance program, General Ledger, Data Inquiry.

We have been using  eCMS since it was CMS, we are fairly familiar with the system. Introduction browser as interface did add and open more windows and we are happy with it.

I have used this for 11 years and love everything about it from billing to check writing to reporting.

ECMS is an excellent out of the box solution that doesn't take a handful of programmers to develop and setup.

Their customer support is amazing. So knowledgeable, helpful and kind.

All of our Job Costing data flows back into the Estimating Department to continue the cycle of successful project bidding.

CGC's commitment to constant improvement, as well as it's customer's needs, has yielded a product that continues to evolve.

Its ability to handle imaging smoothly and effortlessly is still what sets it apart from the competition.

Solid ERP system with excellent data imaging capability and customer support.

User Friendly, Comprehensive ERP Construction Software.

Computer browser restrictions has limited some functionality over the years but is soon going away in the new anticipated release.

I have to manage our projects through a variety of stages in order to be successful and this ERP allows me to do that with ease.

Visibility and accessibility of actual Job Cost is straight forward and easy to use for project management and accounting staff. We upgraded to eCMS4.1 in October 2018.

Their customer support is always great and gets us answers and help quickly. With even more new features coming soon, it will only make our investment in eCMS even more valuable.

You need to make sure it is configured to meet your needs as a company. If it's not done right the first time, it could be painful going back and changing the way the system operates.

We are very happy with the integration of the accounting and project management sides of the software. Integration is key for our efficiency.

We have been using eCMS on the cloud version for almost 10 years. The reliability and flexibility of eCMS is excellent.

Experience has been good overall, It's a stable platform that can do may things required of a construction software package, and can do it all under one system.

Jobber does the job nicely, quickly, easily and is quite affordable for any small business. It integrates nicely with financial systems such as QuickBooks too.

Absolutely love having jobber to run our company. Being able to integrate with square and quickbooks allows us to be efficient, effective and on the path to a successful future.

Technicians can't even look at the calendar to see where their next job is. This has been a very disappointing and huge inconvenience.

Jobber streamlines the whole process of dispatching, time tracking, and invoicing and exports the info to my QuickBooks. Excellent customer support as well.

I really don't have any major negative complaints on this program, once I learned the set up and got used to it.

Still working on getting to know it and having our techs use it. It is a great idea and hoping it will be a good thing for our business.

And if there was you guys would fix it before I could complain. We use Jobber every single day and we would be lost with out it.

Functionality, ease of use, very short learning curb and quickly integrated with my business.

With the best customer service and most affordable pricing , the experience has been amazing for both our team and clients.

Jobber is good for someone just starting out due to it's ease of use but if you want to do any MailChimp or resending quotes you better be willing to pay a lot of money.

So far easy to use and others using it also have said the same so all good as of today. We have been a bit slow due to storms but I expect business to pick up soon.

Good idea, great for small lawn care businesses. I will try it in the future.

They REFUSE to listen to customer complaints about HUGE FLAWS in their MATH.

So easy to use on all mobile devices and laptop. Easy to get employees up to speed.

Another problem is that my drivers sometimes have 55 stops in a day. From their app you can’t see a map - just a list.

The mobile app is top notch. Customer service is very friendly and helpful if you have a problem.

No way to require employees to use them on the job. The leadership of this company is scared to death of competition.
