One of the better attributes of this software would be the ease of use. There is an easy learning curve meaning mastering the software would be an attainable goal.

Its easy to use as a supplier and easy to find what you are looking for. I also like to see when the builder completes the orders.

Most of the issues are fixed via Customer Support since I do not have full access as an Admin.

The integration of Supply Pro and Build Pro is a solid idea and has been executed well. When used the scheduling was very helpful in training new PMs.

It seems to work well for our GC and they apparently like the ability to make payments to their subs and vendors through this software, if they choose.

I really like that I can see all upcoming jobs for scheduling through payment. It is very inclusive of all the information I need to do our work for our Builder.

Have been using it for many years, and love the ease of the system, the notifications via email when new orders come, and love getting paid ontime.

Having the wrong vendors or having things say self supplied.

Fantastic efficiency and productivity thanks to Supply Pro / Build Pro.

This prorgam, in my opinion, is great for builders who are doing only 200 or fewer homes a year.

I love the ease of scheduling, rescheduling, and communicating with our trade partners.

Ease of use, the scheduling processes for daily tasks are very helpful.

As a 3rd party inspector, it was a seamless transition to start using Hyphen's Buildpro system and integrate it with our current system.

The flexibility with the different modules including customer care and reporting. Technical Support is excellent.

I've run into some technical issues with using the buildpro app in areas with poor cell reception.

There is no way to print a calendar after scheduling each home.

It covers a large amount of info and has a lot of ability to track everything. Wish it integrated with supply pro a bit easier.

It gives you the ability to make changes quickly and effectively in the field.

It’s ability to mass communicate to all trades. The more effort one puts into the template and set up the better it works.

The ease of using the software and the ability to streamline the building process.

It has been a great tool for our builders and we are working on using the Warranty Module so that we can reap the benefits on the customer service side. It is a great tool for homebuilding companies.

Struggle with getting IBSWIN/BuildPro communication flow.

A good comprehensive software for supply chain management. My team tried out this software and although we elected to go a different route, we would have been successful going with this software.

Also many of our PMs had troubles with changes not being made while offline. Had trouble scheduling while working on Condo/Apartment projects.

It is hard for me to grasp the scheduling tools.

Very easy to navigate through the system to see jobs. Some of the reports are excellent, very easy to pull up PO's see job status.

As our trade partners come to trust our scheduling and communication through BuildPro, they gain more faith in us as a builder.

I't fairly easy to learn and integrate. It's visual and it's fairly robust.

Compatibility, ease of use, great tools for detailed takeoffs.

I found a program at a price that was better than the others. It seems much more do-able for me.

What I like about OST is it’s easy to use you can get the hang of the Badi oh very quickly and it helps you count items onscreen from a pdf plan or TIFF file. Measures distances, counts and areas.

Product is a bit on the pricey side - but is definitely very effective and I would recommend to anyone doing digital take offs.

Very easy to use and like being able to down load the contact information. Also its nice to be able to see every important information about the company.

I been using it for ten years OST Takeoff and Quick bid it seems to work fine but i just  require substantial time to synchronize both products.

Excellent tool for accurate compilation of quantities from pdf's. I highly recommend this to high volume estimators such as myself.

The software has no ability to copy and paste into a document. No real other complaints.

The software is at least a decade out of date when compared to any other industry standard take-off software. Its clunky, non-intuitive, terrible UI and converts any drawings to.

Many useful features, Quick and accurate general estimating tools, Good support.

It has been great software for all kinds of estimates.

The software is easy to use and learn and offers almost all the functions I need to complete a takeoff. The time and money saved by using this program can be clearly seen and makes my job fun.

Easy to do simple measurements and counts. The various levels and labels are nice, also being able to change colors makes it easy to differentiate between items.

Everything from the time of sales, to the implantation of the software, to the daily use and continuing customer support. Very friendly staff and extremely knowledgeable.

I liked the ability to organize and derive quantities in different ways. One line item can yield several quantities in different units of measurement.

In QuickBid they easily become buried in the bid and get missed. Adding drawing numbers and names function in OnScreen Takeoff does not work well.

Easy to use and nice display screen. Easy to measure things on the drawings.

I loved it for being fast but to many  options can slow me down a bit.

Inability to interact with drawings and a terrible UI.

If you also pay for QuickBids, it integrates well with that. The tech help service is outstanding.

The flexability of being able to copy pages and do different things that helps me be able to look at different pricing.

My take-offs are clean and easy to understand. My production has more than doubled and the results are better.

But their policy was not to refund although they made a promise that was false showing they value money over principles. Very misleading and I am sickened by the way they do business.

Inability to label linear conditions. Inability to increase the size of the font on condition labels.

The only thing I get frustrated with is the lag with some of the functions.

I have tried other Takeoff software, but this is the best for me. I like this product because it is user friendly and has several built in tools that others may not have.

OST is a very easy to use tool to do take offs with and what we like most about it is. Fast Counts for areas, Linear feet, And counts.

There are a lot of functions in this program and it can be extremely confusing if you do not take the time to learn it properly.

I enjoy the quick and professional technical support. They are always responsive, pleasant and helpful.

Overall, great experience. Saves a lot of time when preparing for estimates/bids.

My overall experience with OST has been great.

The Customer Tech help is absolutely outstanding. I am so pleased with every interaction I have had with your company.
