    Working as a general contractor or subcontractor, I highly recommend Foundation Software Construction Accounting. I would not recommend it for anything outside construction, but it could still be used for other businesses.

    • Job Dashboard gives you a great summary of that job at a glance. I can even pull direct reports based on the fact that there are drill-downs.
    • I can go right to the receipt with the GL report drill-down capabilities.
    • Workflows make the product accessible from anywhere for approval when I have people on the road.
    • Dragging and dropping reports to in AP will then go to documents under the job it is attached to.

    Cons
    Foundation Software
    • I think A/P Invoice approval could be much smoother.
    • Purchase orders should be more detailed able to be issued and easily modified and enter invoices against them.
    • A/P check distribution should let you select checks for ACH payment and printed check in the same run.

    There are some things it lacks, certain reports or history audits. I have to call them to do certain things-submit a ticket and wait on someone to call back instead of getting someone immediately. Especially if it's urgent. I have to wait on them to push an update-and they usually run a week or 2 later- to pull quarterly or annual tax forms.

    Using Premier Construction Software is intuitive. Most of the modules work the same way, so once you learn to use one, the others come easily.

    Support is usually pretty great. Most of the time return calls to tickets logged are fairly quick. Most everyone is knowledgeable and helpful.

    Personally,
    I did not have a hand in deciding the software, but for our company is has not
    led to increased productivity or made things easier. It has been more difficult
    for payroll to be inputted correctly and the payroll reports for certified
    payroll often come out incorrect and we need to manually figure out how to correct
    the issues and get them in correctly

    We came away from Sage 100. We looked at Computerease and Foundation among a few others. These two were looked at most seriously.

    • Jonas has positively impacted our Accounts Payable and Receivable department by making tracking and processing organized and streamlined. Previously we were having to track invoices and payments through emails and various formats. We are now able to connect each AP or AR invoice to the job and subcontractor, keep track of the billing due dates, and have all the paperwork generated from Jonas.
