Viewpoint ProContractor is a versatile software that is widely used across different departments in organizations. The accounting department relies on it for efficient job cost management, while project managers and engineers utilize its features to track job costs and budgets. With the capability to create purchase orders and track purchases, the software provides valuable insights into project costs.

In the estimating department, Viewpoint ProContractor shines in earthwork and large area takeoffs, enabling precise measurements and helping teams better understand the project site. The software even allows for the import of CAD files, expediting the takeoff process. However, some organizations have transitioned to more user-friendly products as ProContractor's complexity grew over time.

Seamlessly integrating with the Viewpoint accounting system, ProContractor primarily serves as a comprehensive business ERP solution. It supports various functions such as accounting, payroll, project cost accounting, vendor management, and select project management features. However, it may not be the go-to choice for estimating, equipment management, or materials tracking.

Users appreciate how Viewpoint ProContractor helps them stay organized with current and ongoing projects. It assists with ordering supplies, scheduling subcontractor appointments, managing bills, and tracking work orders and jobs. This software proves invaluable for streamlining accounting and dispatching tasks within General Contracting companies that have relied on it for over a decade.

We use it for accounting, dispatching, keep track of workorders and job.
  • Purchase Orders
  • Job Tracking
  • Accounting
  • Only thing is not knowing to not add hyphens, if you add one codes for purchase orders do not apper,
The amount of PO's we have going, its nice to be able to type a job name if you cannot remember the number. Or vice versa. I learned a new trick the other day to see all parts ordered for the job instead of having to look through individual PO's which is amazing.

I use Viewpoint Pro Contractor daily to help me stay organized with all the projects that we have currently and on going. It helps me stay on top of supplies that I need to order, schedule appointments with sub contractors. It also helps me find bills that need paid. I am able to see what sub contractors need to send me updated information for their liability insurance to make sure we can pay them on time.
  • They help keep me organized to see what job are coming up as well as ones in progress.
  • They help me see my bills that need to be paid to vendors.
  • They help me find invoices from us that still need to be paid.
  • Expanding the amount of information about a job to be entered.
  • More online classes about latest greatest tips.
  • Being able to set alerts for customers when their information is expired
The Viewpoint ProContractor is great. I am able to see everything I need to help our company be successful. I am able to look at a list of jobs that have not started, jobs in progress and jobs complete that are ready for billing. I have the ability's to look up customers quick and easily for their information anytime I need.

  • It has been a positive impact knowing I have everything I need in one place
Viewpoint ProContractor is way better than FedEx Cross Border. It is user friendly and helps keep me organized with everything I need all in one location. There is so much more I am able to do quickly, for my company and clients. Everything I need is in one system, rather than using one or more to do the same job. Such a time saver.
Thankfully I have only had to call about getting the system. So far, no issues.
I give Viewpoint ProContractor a 10 out of 10. This system is user friendly to help keep me organized on a daily basis. I can find everything I need daily with this system. I am able to look up our subcontactors, vendors and clients I need to find quickly. I am able to see bills that I need to pay as well as invoices that I need to send out.

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.
I think it might work for smaller contractors that have less stringent management requirements, policies, and procedures. To get buy-in from project managers to use, it would need to be a little bit more user-friendly, but if your biggest concern was project accounting, this is a great tool. Smaller projects often have lower levels of RFI and submittal requirements, fewer subcontractors and commitments, etc. meaning that where this software is weaker, they will have less use for it anyway.

  • Negative - We implemented and then implemented another better solution.
Procore beats Viewpoint hands down but can integrate well with Viewpoint Vista accounting software. I think that if the Viewpoint software was more flexible if they were more interested in patches, updates, and hearing customer feedback in the way the Procore does, that they would actually have the opportunity to corner the market.
As I have mentioned previously in this review, this is a decent product, but not the top in the industry, which I would deem to be Procore. Viewpoint is attempting to but has not successfully implemented the best practice of taking and learning from customer feedback, I believe this product is their initial attempt at this, but still doesn't quite hit the mark. They need to be more agile and flexible to customer needs as an organization.
