  • 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.

The previous program we utilized, ADP Payroll, for payroll could not handle any of the job costing functions that were required. Simply put, the costs were not going in the right buckets and causing all sorts of issue with our reports. That was the main reason we switched back to Foundation

  • 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.
