Well done Simplex. Great tool to manage small to large projects. Implementation can be customized.

Saving time by using VPO. The automation is great. The system automatically logs the submittals, RFI, Etc is taking the risk off of our teams to keep eyes out for the importance instead of emailing, downloading, logging and resending out these items. The risk of sitting on an important document.

PROS

The best construction management software I have used. It is customizable and offers time savings to log and automate the processes on a project. VPO uses SharePoint, a Microsoft Product as the strong backbone of this tool. The Simplex Company is very personable and great to work with.

CONS

The risk to start the process and to use it for the first month. The best reward was it works great.

Reasons for switching to VPO

Upgrading to a software product that is based on a reliable backbone You could customize for the forms we like Process to set up new projects is much faster Cost is fixed which is economical, not based on a percentage of the construction project

Visual

PROS

It has all the features that we need for project management, ie submittals, purchase orders, change orders, etc

CONS

It's not easy on the eyes. Gray scale for the screen isn't as easy to read as black, just seems like the graphics on the screen could be better. We came from early 2000's version of Primavera Expedition, and the overall user interface of Expedition was better.

Reason for choosing VPO

It's features most closely resembled Expedition.

Reasons for switching to VPO

Expedition had stopped support years ago, so we needed to find a similar product.

Good concept but needs improvement

The product lacks some basic functionality that I would have expected to be included given the typical requirements of the construction industry, especially related to the pay applications and submittals. The system is fairly easy to use and seems to be relatively easily adaptable to scale to larger or smaller scale projects. Multiple "templates" can be developed for projects with different requirements such as building construction vs. horizontal work (roads, bridges, etc.) that have significantly different needs which is a big bonus. Overall the product is decent for the price but continual improvements should be provided as is the case with most competing software.

PROS

Flexibility and relative familiarity is a bonus. As this system is Sharepoint based most users can navigate it with relative ease. It allows for modification to meet individual company requirements and is not as rigidly structured as other CM software. Modifications can be made by the administrator if your company has someone with Sharepoint skills that can perform this.

CONS

The product does not receive any updated or expanded features after purchase. It lacks continuing product improvement. Any updates and improvements must be made by the user or require a fee to be developed for you.

VPO for Highway Construction Team

The biggest benefit of using VPO is organization. Our team is able to look back and find anything we had done in the past. It has also saved us time by using the customized forms VPO has tailored for us to meet our clients needs.

PROS

The software is built to be very user friendly and is customizable to fit your company and/or client needs.

CONS

Using the SharePoint app on an iPhone can sometimes be slow but eventually all of the data you need is at your fingertips.

Reason for choosing VPO

VPO was able to customize their product while the others could not. VPO was more affordable.

Product Review

My overall experience has been great.

PROS

What I like the most about VPO is that it is easy to use. The processing steps are simple. Some products can be cumbersome and may have a lot of steps. Staff and the support.

CONS

The base model comes out very basic. As it competes with other products and fancy bells and whistles, it may need an update. I've used this program probably since the early inception, so I know why its that way. Its the most common comment I'd hear.

Reason for choosing VPO

The ability to customize the program to what we need. Having a smaller company to interact with and hope that it would be a relationship to build on.
