This company is the poster child of the lackluster customer service that exists with many software companies that exploit a revenue with perpetuity business model.

I have used ConEst IntelliBid for over sixteen years and continue to be amazed of the constant upgrades that keep this software at the top.

The program is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. ConEst has an exceptional customer service program.

I had no previous estimating experience with software like this and while the learning curve has been steep, it has gone very smoothly.

However, due to the intricacies of the system the, maybe once the user gets it setup to suit their requirements there would be no need to update unless there is a failure in the operating system.

Easy to use for all types of projects and items can be modified very easy to fit the application.

We no longer are using the many functions, because they are just too time consuming and the material costs and labor times are not accurate enough for us to use.

Up to date program and easy to navigate after a few lessons. Makes the quoting easier and more professional.

Start with the best you can afford or build the components as required. The basic system works for me for all size projects 16mil is the largest this one guy has put thru ConEst.

The tech support is among the best of all the different technology companies I work with.

Call their support team - they are very easy to work with and pleasant.

The use of the product is pretty self explanatory. It is a good product to have.

Since I developed a database for Est2000 it was very easy for me to make the transition to ConEst. Great experience especially for all size projects.

They are greedy, greedy people, whose only goal is to sell you on the software upfront.

From its smart substitution to the link with SureCount onscreen take off, this company continues to provide great innovation and support.

The vendor is very helpful, and the product is intuitive.

I really like that suppliers can only bill the line items that are set up with their subcontract. This prevents overbillings and it helps keep our job cost accurate.

It was the easiest implementation and syncs with our Accounting software as promised. It has made this part of my job more manageable.

Obviously this could take place outside of GCPay, but in my opinion, it should be a one stop shop for pay app management.

The thing I like most about this software is the ease of utilizing it and its ability to have our subcontractors use it as well. It also integrates really well with our accounting software Vista.

Integration with our accounting system, extremely fast customer service, easy to use for us and our subs.

The cost to pass down on each individual invoice to lower tier subcontractors.

GC Pay does what we need it to do, and does that well.

Time saving, seems to be user friendly, put more of the work on the subcontractor.

It's very user friendly and it works great with our accounting software.

We just started using ProCore and we are having trouble with change orders syncing.

I like that the software is integrated with our accounting software.

Periodic updates are made to increase the user interface and add features based on user feedback and common sense.

Their are very friendly and effective. They've made my job very easy and a lot of our subs love GCPay just as much as I do.

It's great that it ties into Sage so we don't have to triple check dollar values and contract amounts and can focus on Percent Complete.

The software is very intuitive. The customer service is superb.

And the updates that have come out in the last year just keep improving the product. It just keeps getting better.

Don't think I've ever had them put me on hold to ask someone else to assist. They are awesome and I tell them this when I call.

Also, very helpful in getting subcontractor invoices and information into the system to be able to review quickly and easily.

No feature to label project taxable or tax exempt.

I like how organized this system is, how much easier it made to keep track of everything being uploaded and approved, or not approved and revised etc.

The greatest feature from my perspective is the ease the subs can bill.

Commonly i get an error linking commitments with the initial SOV submissions.

We rely on GC Pay for ease of use. It's slightly more basic than some competitive products, but we find this is a huge benefit for users.

This is how other systems have done this. Additionally, there is a real lack in reporting features.

Vendors open requests, but forget to fully submit their request by meeting the requirements for full submission.

The Overall is great, easy to use and follow and there customer service is amazing.

I like the most about this software is because it is easy to use.

Best thing to happen in the Construction industry.

It is relatively easy for vendors to use and they cannot over bill etc. Also, the support team is fantastic, quick, knowledgeable and very, very helpful.

From day one the support to get the system up and running and keeping it running every day has been great. Most of our subs love it.

Best product support team that I've ever worked with from a user and admin prospective.

Ease of use and to navigate through. Customer service is great.

Overall I really enjoy the program, customer service is super responsive.

The hardest part is getting the subcontract bought into using it. So complain about the fee if the subcontract is a small amount.

The customer service is also extremely responsive and helpful, for both the contractor and the subcontractor. I have never had to wait more than an hour for a solution/ help during business hours.

Overall, great customer service and a great software. I like the new search feature that allows searching by person/email.

Lack of integration to Sage from the owners pay app side. Have to enter it twice in Sage and GC pay.

We have experienced far fewer processing errors which has saved time and money.

The new pricing structure is by the month, whether there is one sub or 20 the price is the same. We no longer use the service on small projects.

Was very happy with the service till the pricing change.
