Overall Satisfaction with HCSS
HCSS is used by various departments. Mostly in the field for timecards, cost controls, and engineering/bidding.
Timecards are kept in HeavyJob, which correlates and feeds info into JDE. The field uses these applications which are then analyzed and approved by cost controls.
HeavyBid is used by our engineering/bidding department. All major bids use this HeavyBid and we find it to be an extraordinary program. Allows us to compile a lot of historic data to be used in current bids. Truly a blessing.

- HCSS works wonderfully as a timecard. Using the application is very easy and it speaks very well to our data systems.
- HCSS is the pinnacle of estimating tools. It allows multiple analytics and set-ups for estimators. In addition, conversions of your bid into budgets are extremely easy once exported.
- Within HeavyJob, once you enter in manhours and production data they run all the data analysis for you, providing graphs and figures from your inputs.
- The software itself seems to be a bit outdated as far as user interface
- I'm not sure if this is a result of too much data or what, but the programs tend to be on the slower side when importing and exporting data.
We've used Sage in the past and even though I would say it's on par, it did not provide the integration that we needed for our new systems and databases.
