Overall Satisfaction with Sage 100 Contractor

We use Sage 100 Contractor for accounting, project management, purchasing, and payroll. We love that it does all of that and more in one easy-to-use program with great support.

Further, Sage 100 Contractor is built on SQL, allowing custom connections and reporting, enabling us to maximize our utilization by creating apps catering to our unique needs.

Pros

  • Payroll
  • Project Management
  • Purchasing (with added customization)
  • Support
  • Reporting

Cons

  • Progress Billing (3-7 Menu) needs a complete overhaul. It is missing modern functionality, connections to 3rd party billing platforms like Textura and Procore, and it has minor bugs that we have to contact support for because there are no workarounds.
  • Payroll is also somewhat anchored in the past. Payroll records are not calculated automatically; meaning that extra steps are needed in order to process payroll. These extra steps make troubleshooting slow and add waste to the DB because a new records are needed in order to view different payroll scenarios, particularly when processing bonus and employee reimbursements.
  • Purchasing (within both Estimating and PM) and project management both could use more integration with each other. For instance, change orders do not support database parts from purchasing which would help when creating a CO budget within Sage 100 Contractor. Purchasing is missing the functionality of importing a vendor price list and assigning both price and the vendor's part number to parts within Sage 100 Contractor. This has to be done manually or via a custom SQL import script.
  • Through the custom reporting tool, we have been able to give our PM team reporting that allows them to view up to date costs along with budget projections and other relevant information leading to improved invoicing and reduced WIP liability.
  • Sage 100 Contractor is a lot more streamlined and easy to teach than previous ERPs leading to both employee retention and reduced difficulty in attracting talent.
Sage 100 Contractor is very easy to use with a customizable layout and a more traditional numbers-based lister view.

New employees to Sage 100 Contractor are up and running within minutes and support is great for when they need help.

Steady updates with new features keep the software fresh and modern along with timely fixes for issues/bugs.
Sage 100 Contractor is the best value with powerful features that we are happy with. It doesn't have everything we need but it does have the ability to add custom features that keep us running smoothly.
