Overall Satisfaction with Contractor Foreman

Contractor Foreman has been a wonderful tool for our company! We started using CF pre-pandemic and it has allowed me to manage multiple locations and remote workers because it's cloud based. I needed a system that would allow me to estimate, invoice, track purchase orders, store files, accessible from multiple locations, and most importantly be easy to use. When my friend introduced me to CF, I was able to go in and create an estimate within 15 mins never having used it. Once I did that I knew it was the right fit for our company!

Pros

  • Live feed and implementation of users ideas
  • Ability to see what my team is working on at all times from afar
  • Estimates
  • Project Management
  • Great for small businesses

Cons

  • More font and spacing items on Estimates to really make your contract clear
  • Adding a "Notes" section to the "Inclusions" and "Exclusions", because of lot times neither of these apply to my comments or concerns
  • Complex for new users
  • Quickbooks Intergration was a challenge for an existing business
  • Gave both locations a sense of unity
  • Easy to manage multiple employees in various locations
  • Ease of use once you learn the system
  • QB Integration was a challenge

Would you buy Contractor Foreman again?

Yes

Contractor Foreman has been able to help us get both of our locations on the same page. We are all now in one system, estimating the same way, have standardized procedures and processes, and this gives us the ability to scale as needed. Being in business for over 20 years gave us some challenges with QB Integration. Our customer base was too large and the syncing did not work well for us. We even tried to convert to QB Online, which did work better, but still not good enough for us to continue to use the integration feature. We will say the the support staff from CF was very good and worked with us for over 3 months to try to make the integration work before we called it quits. We're back to double entry on that front, but being able to link our two locations and standardize our procedures has by far been the best part of Contractor Foreman.
