Great for medium and large construction companies that have a specific salesforce.

We use Demandforce to reach out to 'old' customers. If they have not had an invoice generated in X number of days/weeks/months/years, we can create a custom campaign via email/text to reach out to them and attempt to re-engage with those customers to generate new 'existing business' or entirely new leads for our Sales team to run.

Cosential
- Inputting of companies and leads who may become prospects.
- Creating specific opportunities for construction projects.
- Tracking opportunities through the entire sales cycle.
- Inputting detailed notes and activity by the Sales team.

- Aesthetics has been updated in last few months for organization and is easier to see: colors, grid lines on front page, and font style.
- Allowing our office to include specific items in reminder appointment emails allows personalization to make confirming appointments easier.
- Allowing patients to write reviews allows us to know what the office is doing well and what we can improve on.

Cons
Cosential
- The open software is somewhat difficult to master as an administrator.
- Report writing could be more intuitive.
- The company seems to cater to larger users.

- Flexibility in Design!
- Overall Look & Feel of Templates (look at what Squarespace is doing, it is possible!)
- Usability (it's a bit clunky)

We are constantly being contacted by comparable organizations. If Mindbody Online integrated a feature like Demandforce, we'd move over there to keep everything in one platform.

Cosential is very intuitive for the AEC industry and has the ability to be customized for your specific needs. The reports are especially helpful, with good visual dashboards.

My original trainer / implementation specialist was fantastic. That relationship has continued, even though I have been officially handed off to the customer service side. The customer service side seems to have higher turnover than normal, but in general they are also very supportive, although not as responsive as I might like.

Alternatives Considered

Cosential is specific to the A/E industry and is the most intuitive software we found for construction.

I do not have any alternative products to compare this service too. It was in place when I came aboard this company and I have no say in its continuation or replacement. As from what I can gather, there are many alternatives to this platform, but Demandforce is the only one I am aware of that runs in your system tray and is passively ran in conjunction with your accounting database.

- It's taken a lot of the reporting and guesswork out of the equation. That has saved us a lot of money.
