Overall Satisfaction with InEight
Our organization uses InEight for both estimating and project management. It is the backbone of our estimating and works seamlessly into our workflows for project management. We utilize the resource register to identify areas where we can utilize our field staff better. InEight helps us to address problems with staffing, equipment utilization, project schedule constraints, forecasting and budgets and providing insight into our competition. As a Heavy Civil contractor, it is imperative that we maximize our people and equipment, that we provide our clients with personalized and transparent estimates/bids, and execute the job with excellence and timliness. InEight, is our go-to SaaS for providing these and other deliverables to our clients.
Pros
- Accurate tracking of materials, labor and equipment
- Seamless integration with our project management software
- Detailed reports that are easy to export, filter and manipulate
- Asks questions when we are entering data to ensure accuracy
- Provides extensive learning and education
Cons
- Provide a simpler version (cliff notes) of the knowledge database
- Offer versions of InEight for smaller companies, i.e. less than 20 emplyees, under $5M in revenue
- When an estimate is complete, offer a dialog box to ask if the job was won, lost, or still in progress. We tend to leave most of our estimates in the bidding column. This is a user error, but the prompt would be helpful.
- We have gone from an $6.5M per year company to over $10M per year since integrating InEight in 2018
- Job costing has really helped us to understand where the money is going and how to manage it better.
- Being able to compare different estimates has sped up the estimation process and allowed us to be more competitive.
A major initiative that InEight has provided a solution to is no longer using MS Excel as our estimation software. We used Excel for over 30 years prior to InEight, and prior to 2018, our estimates were quite pedestrian. With InEight as part of our project management software we have been more agile, better prepared for change orders, and equipped to manage client questions in an effective and timely manner. InEight's project-based approach has simplified the process of searching for documents & reports. The versatility of the report feature allows to compare and contrast different approaches, in real-time, for project management.
InEight is perfect for our work in Heavy Civil construction. Some of the other products are designed for different workflows and industries. We chose InEight specifically because it was related to the construction industry. Procore is incredibly comprehensive, and we just don't need all the noise. It has been nice to employ InEights' various products as we grow and be able to only pay for what we are truly utilizing.
