- Our payroll process is more time consuming now versus with previous vendor
Sage 100 Contractor Review
- Sage integrates very well with our field time tracking software called Exaktime. We import the start/end time card data that includes job costs directly to the PR module which greatly reduces the time it takes to process payroll.
- Sage 100 C payroll calculations and WC/GL overhead calculations are easy to use and understand. The WC/GL overhead calculations are posted to project costs in real-time allowing for accurate total cost reporting of the project.
- Sage could do a better job with developing canned reports. We spent a lot of time in our office building reports Sage considers custom but could be canned.
- In some instances, vendor transactions are supposed to be 1099'd, and other transactions are not. In Sage, there is no way to identify a transaction as exempt from 1099 for a vendor that is typically issued one.

- Sage 100 costs us annually approximately 5.8K. We would lose tens of thousands or more if we didn't have the capability of tracking costs. The ability to get income statements by job (nearly live) is invaluable.
Management must also understand internal controls to set up security and restrict access as needed.
- job cost
- payroll processing using cost codes (streamlining)
- we use an ODBC connection to build spreadsheets that will show us "live" where we stand forecast to actual on a monthly and YTD basis
- We build an ODBC connection to the payroll records which will show management what our total labor overhead costs are by skill type. This allows us to set our hourly costs for change order work and ensure we cover all direct and indirect costs of doing business including management labor, safety training, equipment repairs, etc. These costs are indirect costs which are not posted directly to projects, but are important when calculating costs per hour per man in a given skill set.
- We woulds like to utilize estimating more broadly to import budgets and change order budgets.
Contractor Accounting
- Payroll processing using Sage Timesheets. Makes online timesheets available to an employee anywhere he/she has an internet connection. This results in better record keeping.
- Project costing. Between what I do in Sage and what I do in Sage Timesheets, I can project cost in minutes instead of making the data work in the clumsy and time consuming way it is done using just the Sage 50 or 100.
- Project reporting is now streamlined using the same pairing of software.
- Making time and material billings easier by complying with my proposal requirements.
- Reducing the cost of support, since I hardly use it.
- I don't like the reviews since we do a lot of small projects along with some big ones. Billings or invoices from vendors that have the same amount always trigger a question. Therefore I don't do the reviews anymore. It's so much nothing.

- It's had mostly a positive impact - solutions to my problems with accounting integrity.
- Solutions for happier employees because they have portable time sheets. This makes me happier because I've made it work so I have less to do.
- I can quickly report on any project with a combination of software.
Honest review of Sage 100
- Job Cost Summary's are automatically updated and the user can drill down into the costs which is very helpful.
- Committed Cost Reports are very helpful in forecasting where our jobs will end up.
- The customization allows you to manipulate reporting and other features to suit your needs.
- The Equipment management feature needs some serious updates. Searching for specific equipment shouldn't be this difficult. Example Lets say I'm looking for a "12' step ladder". If don't type in the name of the item exactly it will not return. So if I searched for "ladder" or "step ladder" my "12' step ladder" would not appear.
- The entire system is not very intuitive or user friendly. At least not what you would expect from a sophisticated program in 2017
- Needs a mobile application

- it's definitely been worth the investment. The accounting features and job reports alone are extremely beneficial.
