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.

I use it to enter invoices, enter subcontractor invoices, release retainage, issue payments. Everything from A-Z accounts payable.
  • Automatic invoicing is very helpful to make sure all invoices are getting entered in to the system
  • Ability to have subcontracts pull up effortlessy
  • Easy capability of issuing checks
  • Selecting which invoices we are going to pay seems to take a lot time, cannot select multiple invoices at one time
  • Cannot have two people entering invoices at the same always gives us an error code
Vista has many levels of programs that helps the entire construction industry from start to finish.

  • Ability to manage projects effectively
Have not integrated anything just yet
All invoices are entered as we receive them with automatic invoicing. We have the email set up for VP to create a header on invoices while moving the original invoices into a processed folder
Viewpoint is everything from A-Z not only for finance and accounting functions but for project managers as well. Epicor did not have as many functions.
