Product Details

What is Vista?

Vista by Viewpoint is a construction accounting and ERP software that is designed to help contractors manage all areas of their business. According to the vendor, Vista enables the centralization of information with visibility, providing secure, fully-interactive data across the organization. From pre-construction through project closeout, Vista’s project management provides project insight, backed by up-to-date data and workflows. With job costing, service, equipment, HR and Payroll management placed at the user's fingertips, Vista shows whether or not a project is on track or behind, and makes users aware of potential issues as work occurs rather than weeks or even months later. The solution helps manage subcontractors, mitigate risks and complete projects on-time and on-budget.

We choose to go with Viewpoint Vista, because it was a great option that allowed complete connection from the Project Managers to the Accounting Team. It allowed us to have one platform or links into the platform from ProjectSight to ensure all of us stay connected without having disconnects in discussion or changes to a project.

Vista Is Great!

Procore is not a construction accounting software, Vista takes care of that, but Vista is not a software to be used in the field. Procore has an easy-to-use mobile app for site pictures and daily reports, a good connection between the two software would be so great, they both have amazing capabilities but both are totally different.

It's been a while since I've used this, but I found JD Edwards completely cumbersome and like a database that hadn't been updated in 10-15 years. I much prefer Viewpoint and I think that Viewpoint still has the ability to improve on its user interface.

As a company, we have used Vista for a long time. If they hadn't been continually improving their project management modules such as Field View and Team, we probably would have supplemented Vista with another program like Procore.

There are more options and data kept in Vista that allows us to work on data-driven business decisions. Vista is flexible - we've had to create work arounds in some situations and we've been able to identify those quickly and easily.

I didn't choose any of these products, they were all in place when I started. Spreadsheet Server is easier than creating and manipulating reports in Vista. B2W is used for field logs, equipment management, and bids/estimates. B2W Track and Maintain are easier to configure, is easier to use, and have a mobile app. Estimate is organized and integrates with FDOT bid letting process. The B2W db's are simplier designs and easier to work in, also uses SSRS for reports. Primavera is used for scheduling. We use pVault to manage AP and connect that to Vista.

There the same to varying degrees, hiding every useful tool behind an additional paywall.
