Overall Satisfaction with M1

I use M1 daily to perform accounting functions, such as running reports on inventory, sales, AP/AR aging, and job analysis.M1 is a user-friendly software that simplifies job estimating, planning, and inventory management. However, it lacks the reporting tools necessary for management to make informed financial decisions that are crucial for running a business.
  • Job planning and estimating.
  • Inventory purchasing.
  • Inventory managements.
  • Labor tracking.
  • Cost of sales.
  • Accounts payable.
  • Accounts receivable.
  • General ledger.
  • Simplified reports in Excel.
  • Easy to build reports and filters.
  • Data pool to build reports within M1.
  • User friendly format to upload entries.
  • I have only used M1 for six months and I have not really looking in ROI.
In my opinion, a well-trained individual can use M1 to its full potential if they have the proper training and the tools to learn it. It is an easy system to learn, but there are so many areas that you can go wrong if you don't fully understand M1 functions and usability.
M1's dashboards are great once they are built. I have not played around with them much to comment on this area, which seems to need enough knowledge.

M1 is an ideal software solution for small to medium-sized companies that do not require extensive reporting functionality. However, it may not be suitable for mid-size companies that are expanding and require ratios, built-in reports, or filters that can be run on the fly without much knowledge of grids or M1 crystal reports.
