    Easy sub-contractor management ability, time tracking, resource planning and the easy tracking of project equipment using Raken is even enjoyable. Team coordination and project comments and recording sharing among the team members, this is a great tool for that.

    Pros
    Premier Construction Software
    • 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.

    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.

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

    Vista is TTI's accounting software program. It is extremely well suited for the construction projects. Team, which is similar to Raken, is more advance however the program is also more expensive.

    Premier Construction Software
    • 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.
