Overall Satisfaction with Viewpoint Spectrum
The software is primarily used for accounting purposes, payroll, customer contracts, receivables, payables and job costing. On a more limited basis, also used for materials management and equipment.
- Good reporting features with the ability to customize using Crystal reports.
- Integrates well with other programs, i.e., can download from estimating software to set up jobs.
- It's sometimes hard to control the document imaging window. It doesn't stop when you release the cursor. Have to go to top of screen and click in one of the bars to lock it in place.
- In AP invoice entry, you have to slow down when entering job and phase number. Doesn't keep up with the speed of the person entering.
- Document imaging has saved us a ton of paper and a ton of space. Not to mention time away from your desk that we'd otherwise have to get up and go search for.
- Having access to everything in one software package - accounting, payroll, human resources.
At the time we purchased Spectrum, Viewpoint was a separate option. We did several webinars with Viewpoint, but they failed to come to us in NH where we could get a more "hands on" experience. The document imaging was a big piece to go with Spectrum. In the end, once we got someone to show us the ropes, we were very pleased we went with Spectrum.
