Overall Satisfaction with Foundation Software Construction Accounting

Foundations has been a wonderful relief. You can build reports that you need. Several normal reports are at the click of a button. It lets you add shortcuts on the side and reorder them easily. I love that when looking at a report in the system, if something is blue, I can click on it and it opens it in another tab. I can have multiple tabs open. Jump from doing one thing to another and back again. I import employees from the onboarding system. That saves enormous amounts of time. It tracks pto, eeo, tax info. It has made things more efficient for me.

Pros

  • stores images of documents with invoice or ar
  • imports time for payroll
  • imports employee information from onboarding

Cons

  • it has frozen on me while working-though this has not happened often
  • when saving, it has forgotten the mapping
  • time management
  • efficiency
  • reporting
It was decent to implement. Our implementator was impatient though.

It's been pretty easy at training others. Really easy to connect to their computers.

However, i have to call them now to create new user instead of me being able to do it. They have been telling me for 2 years they are working on a fix but have yet to see one.

You need knowledge of computers. Knowledge of internet and rdps. Knowledge to understand what the support is saying when they return your calls.
More than basic tech knowledge, but not and IT guru.

There are some things it lacks, certain reports or history audits. I have to call them to do certain things-submit a ticket and wait on someone to call back instead of getting someone immediately. Especially if it's urgent. I have to wait on them to push an update-and they usually run a week or 2 later- to pull quarterly or annual tax forms.

Evaluating Foundation Software Construction Accounting and Competitors

Yes - CSSI
accounting and payroll
because it was needed, CSSI was stuck in the 80s
And CSSI did not offer a good hr component
  • Other
accounting software mainly
that's difficult to say, everything depends on who looks at it, experience, money, time to integrate, etc.
