We use eSUB Construction Software to manage our new construction and larger projects within our company. It addresses the problems with keeping track of documentation as well as purchase orders and other internal financial documents. The software is also outward facing so it gives us a little bit of a polish when communicating with our clients.
  • RFI management
  • Change Order management
  • Submittal management
  • Purchase order integration with Quickbooks
  • keeping track of progress billing or partial billing of PO's and sub vendors
  • time cards UI is really wonky for daily reports.
If you are doing any sort of new construction, eSUB is a budget friendly option for managing the process. It's helpful for keeping track of submittals, RFI's and for foreman doing Daily Work Reports. It is not suited really well for plan management and scheduling. The modules for these are not well thought through. Also if you specialize in service work or projects that have short durations (i.e. 1-2 weeks or less), eSUB isn't the best option for you. It would take too long to set up a job vs the time it takes to do the job.

  • It has cut down the time to do payroll, time tracking on our major projects
eSUB is not even close when it comes to the offerings that the others have. eSUB is a happy medium for the functionality it provides and is at an affordable price point that it doesn't break the bank. Other solutions are a lot more integrated into the company processes and procedures, which means more upfront investment to get the platform to go live. eSUB's simplicity makes it easier to roll out because it doesn't integrate with as many aspects of the business.

We use eSUB in our project management department for daily activities such as RFIs, submittals, transmittals, purchase orders, subcontracts, and change orders etc. It makes managing and tracking the progress of projects so much easier. Also, it has a great interface with the field as they can log on and see the various activities in real time, no need for separate emails. Any addressee can respond to a document with comments which is immediately forwarded to all parties. Saves a lot of time with multiple emails, copying etc...
  • Using multiple contacts over multiple jobs. Vendors, customers, personnel etc...
  • Sending out RFIs, submittals etc... to multiple people at the same time
  • Correspondence templates with drop downs makes sending out letters etc... effortless
  • I have no suggestions at the moment and if I ever do have a question, concern or suggestion, a quick email to eSUB gets a quick response.
eSUB is well suited for contractors on all levels of managing a project and is very user friendly.
  • eSUB saves time as you don't have to type, print and send documents.
  • I like to call it "set it up once, use it a million times" as once you set up a customer, vendor etc... you can use them across multiple platforms.
  • It saves money as you don't need a pool of resources to manage a project due to its ease of use.
I found eSUB to be more "user friendly" than Proliance or Procore and although just as professional looking, not quite as "stuffy" as these two.

eSUB if very user friendly, the support usually involves how to questions, but once a person is familiar with using it, questions taper off.

Yes
A simple email to tech support always gets me a response, plus having an actual person to contact is a plus.
Never had an issue with a request or suggestion.
Yes
Yes, as with any web based program, there are bound to be issues, but the immediate response and support are always there.
Not specific, always on point.
