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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
