    Leap (formerly JobProgress) helped us automate and simply our processes. We chose it over competitors because we were able to customize it to the different service offerings we provided - other platforms seem to be designed for one type of service or another making them problematic. We were able to reduce the number of software providers we use and integrate others that we were using separately. It is designed well to track [potential] jobs, but it does not work well for tracking business development opportunities.

    Sage Estimating was initially created for the construction industry and many of its current users use it to estimate buildings, but it has adapted quite well for the oil and gas industry. If the user is willing to invest the time and energy to develop and maintain their database, I can see it working for any industry. It is very easy to adjust and adapt the database as estimating methods and project designs change. As an example, our accounting department sometimes changes the way projects are reporting in our accounting software. Because I can go through our 9000 line item database in a couple of days, I am always ahead of the curve and can report my estimates in the format they require.

    • The program has a fairly antiquated user interface such that someone working in it may not feel like they are working with advanced software.
    • Sage Estimating has absolutely no remote access capability outside running it in a Citrix/RDP environment so users have to be using a fat/full client vs. any hopes of access on a mobile device.

    Sage's support of Estimating is adequate though frankly we rarely need it. Outside of more complex operations such as upgrades and installation problems the program itself is so straightforward that we do not usually have any "issues" and questions that are more about usability can easily be answered in online forums. We trust Sage's capability to answer these questions if needed but rarely use it.

    Alternatives Considered
    Leap
    We evaluated close to ten other platforms including Dataforma, Job Nimbus, AccuLynx, Propeller, FCS, etc., but chose Leap (formerly JobProgress) because of the flexibility it offered - customize our service offerings and how jobs flow through our process, automation through the process, integration with other vendors, and ease of use for the office and field.

    • Manupulation of existing data is very user friendly thanks to "Database Manager".
    • A bit pricey
