Overall Satisfaction with Foundation Software Construction Accounting

We use it for A/P, A/R, Payroll, Accounting, Job Costing, and Equipment Management. It works well for prevailing wage payroll, but the timecard system is clunky and I think it could be streamlined. It does the bare minimum of job costing. It does not work for issuing purchase orders the way we need it to. It does the bare minimum for equipment tracking. In our experience, nothing is automated and very little can be customized.

Pros

  • Prevailing wage

Cons

  • I think A/P Invoice approval could be much smoother.
  • Purchase orders should be more detailed able to be issued and easily modified and enter invoices against them.
  • A/P check distribution should let you select checks for ACH payment and printed check in the same run.
  • it has made payroll more efficient
  • it has allowed us to track some job costing
  • it allows us to get invoice approval electronically
it's easy enough to use once you learn it, but, in my opinion, not very intuitive/user friendly. Learning new things or discovering better ways to use it is not automatic. The range of functions is limited but works well.

No

Did Foundation Software Construction Accounting live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Foundation Software Construction Accounting go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Foundation Software Construction Accounting again?

No

It is best for smaller contractors, and probably best for subcontractors, not prime contractors. Simple use-cases would work well, and anything that is private work. In my opinion, larger companies, and prevailing wage work is not the best fit. You will find many features lacking in these scenarios.
