Also, the support team is VERY good. Usually very quick and to the point helpful answers.

COINS had a thorough understanding of the construction industry and the product reflects it. COINS has excellent technical support - tickets logged are resolved quickly.

COINS SM has allowed our service team to step away from an outdated, manual, paper-intensive process to a fully integrated, paperless, mobile supported process.

We pay close to 2,000 employees weekly and we have a mix of union and non-union jobs.

Coins is also easy to use overall and helps us manage our jobs from forecasting to tracking actual job costs. Mobile tech is another great feature that makes it easier for our service department.

Not the easiest software to use. Not very intuitive and very confusing at times.

This software was super easy to install, didn't take a lot of space and very user friendly. I am able to keep all my bids in order.

Excellent and easy sharing and uploading of multiple project data and files and the activity tracking and reports creation is effective.

The ease to run reports for things such as Jobs, AP & Employee Services is very user friendly. The test environment is very helpful especially when it is time to upgrade system.

It is Fully Web-Based and takes advantage of canned API and Webservices to connect to other software’s that we utilize.

I liked that that software was cloud based and had a user friendly interface.

I also do not believe that we should have to pay to have a report made or modified, that we are paying the bi-annual license fees and have already paid for the program itself.

The thing I like most about the software is that there is unlimited potential when designing how you want the software to work for your company.

COINS Consultants and Project Managers are top notch and have always done whatever was necessary to help us configure and enhance the software to maximize it's usefulness for us.

COINS is a growing, dynamic company and is very responsive to customer interests and needs. We've been a happy customer for years.

Financial and project resources management is quite easy on this tool and its the easiest platform to manage workflow and the best scheduling system.

It has given us opportunity to introduce effective workflow into our payroll and procure to pay cycles. Also has given us better visibility into our job costs and project management.

Easy to use, user friendly, easy to train other users.

They are helpful and really care about the customer.

COINS allow the project managers to manage their cost on each project, which in turn makes a more profitable job.

Specifically for our company it has been hard to manage.

It is not the most easy piece of software to use. You can easily get lost in the menus and forget which buttons to press.

The fact that we are able to run all of our entities and quickly maneuver from one to the other is great. Our company has had an overall very good experience with COINS.

The best part of the software is that it was a huge upgrade from the software that we were moved from. The forms are nice once we had them uploaded.

The COINS Documentation needs to be update. I have tried to use it when I had questions and the info is either missing or is not update.

COINS has helped us improve our data analytics and increase customer service. The employees at COINS are  the biggest difference maker.

What I like the most about COINS is the ability for our project manager's to see progress on their jobs.

Myself, am very happy with my Wendes systems. The software has a lot for you to learn, but once you learn it, it's pretty easy.

It is easy to use and the Wendes Systems team is amazing with their full support. I learned how to use this program quickly with the help of the support team that's always on the line.

Accuracy of bids when using this software. SENSITIVE CONTENT] was extremely helpful.

My problem in the past was that I could not land any small commercial jobs because of people working out of their trucks.

This software makes estimating so much faster and very accurate, When I have question or need an answer to anything on the program Gene and the whole crew at Wendes are there to help every time.

I could not find any cons for this software at first I was confused with the quantity and length options.

Ease of use, value, and support received is excellent. Gene Kaplan is excellent support, knowledgeable, he even got back to me on a Sunday morning for support.

I enjoy the service of Wendes, and also I enjoy working with Glen Kaplan. He's very helpful with answering questions.

I learned that I had to stay away from them and go after larger jobs, which in turn called for zero mistakes.

Never using an estimation program before, this product is extremely easy to use.

Excellent software and even better customer service.

I was able to do more jobs in less time and with them prices and the way it is set up i was able to win more contracts.

To many assemblies to pick from, found it hard to do final estimate.

Very helpful support staff is always available and very informative. Super easy program to run.

Takeoffs tend to take too long due to a number of issues starting with the dislike of the screen takeoff and constantly needed to restart from freeze ups.

WenDuct and WenPipe material lists are very useful for sending out to vendors when we win a job.

This is a very easy to use product. We like ho it separates the labour and material costing from shop lab.

I'm still new to it so it wouldn't really be fair for me to complain about anything until I'm sure any problems are user errors.

Gene walked me through the program and it honestly felt like it was custom designed just for me. Gene is a terrific instructor and a very straight forward guy with exceptional integrity.

Ease of Use & Great Support. Gene helped me on a Labor Day Holiday Weekend.

Both programs are easy to navigate through and we can bid jobs twice as fast.

The additional material and lab is fantastic and we can compare poundage to actual cost.

Gene has also helped me out with questions on the system and has personally walked me through certain areas that I didn't know or understand. Customer support has been terrific.

Once everything is set up it’s pretty easy to use. Just click and drag and everything is priced within that line.

I was taking off projects with-in the first day of use. This product has saved me a lot of time that I can devote to other areas of my job.

In today's market everybody is just trying to survive and one mistake will harm your company.
