From a project management prospective look elsewhere.
ViewPoint ProContractor is our main accounting software for handling job cost management. Our accounting department spends the most time with the software but project managers and engineers use it to help track job costs and budgets. Idea is to create PO's and track purchase to be able to understand the current and proected costs of your project.
- Lots of reports available to generate
- Software processes run very slowly
- PO receipting can be cumbersome, especially if you have to make changes on the fly.

ProContractor... A Great ERP with Limited Integrations
ProContractor is used as our primary business ERP for both company level and corporate level accounting. We utilize the accounting features, the payroll features, the project cost accounting features, the vendor management (compliance and contracting) features, and some select project management features. We do not use the estimating, equipment, or materials features.
- Performs most project cost accounting features required.
- Performs vendor contract management well.
- Allows for multi-company/division and intercompany accounting.
- The program is siloed, so connecting to other software or databases is not going to happen.
- When hosted, the program can run slow.
- The program is not going to perform complex accounting tasks with subledgers.
- The program does not do much in terms of HR other than payroll.
The product was used across the organization in operations, however, we have transitioned to another product that was a bit more user-friendly. ProContractor was a great software because it required no energy to integrate with our Viewpoint accounting system, however, just like Vista, it was still glaringly obvious to most users that it was developed specifically with accounting in mind. While this is important, it was more important for us to have software that was project management based that could integrate with accounting rather than use something that felt "accounting-ish" in nature.
- Accounting.
- Budgeting.
- More of a project management "vibe".
- Less spreadsheet and complex processes to do things.

ProContractor - Earthwork Review
Viewpoint ProContractor is used at our company for earthwork and large area takeoffs. It is used in our estimating department and is then used to help our crews understand the site when working on the project. ProContractor is able to speed up the takeoffs when a CAD file is available for direct import.
- Procontractor is great with direct imports from CAD files.
- It is great with balancing sites or specific areas on site.
- Procontractor has multiple views and reports that help you to view the dirt movement on the site (grid, profile, 3D).
- Procontractor could do better with the quality of plan images it allows for importing in. We have plan sheets that will be downgraded in quality once imported. This makes the contour lines difficult to trace and see.
- Takeoffs for trenching could be added with greater detail options (cut classes, etc.).
