    It is extremely suitable for the client since for us they are all US-based companies, even though the main headquarters of our business is in Mexico.

    It is less appropriate in terms of usability than taxes, since it does not include adaptability to Mexican legislation, and its deployment through customizations and reports is extremely expensive.

    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.

    The platform is stable even though a version for MacOS is also missed.

    In general, the user management and administration process is intuitive and once the roles are defined it is simple and easy.

    However, the user experience has become out of date in relation to other web-based platforms currently available on the market.

    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.
