Constructware vs Knowify

Likelihood to Recommend

Constructware is well suited for many different types of projects in both real estate and infrastructure. However, it is now becoming outdated with the introduction of the BIM 360 platform. I think even Autodesk may plan to slowly stop rolling out subscriptions to Cnstructware since most of its functions are now getting added on to BIM 360.

Syncing with QuickBooks could be a little better, only syncs to main customer and not projects.
Does not have the ability to be used in the field.
Cannot collect payment or invoice from the field, only office staff can do this which makes for a lot of missed money collection.

Knowify does job costing which HouseCall Pro does not, it syncs with QuickBooks a little better than HouseCall Pro but does not allow our technicians to invoice from the field which is crucial.

Keeps good track of all bills and expenses.
It would be nice to be able to see a list of all bills and not have to look under each project/job.
Allows us to see if a job is headed south and quickly correct it.
