Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization uses Spectrum for accounting, material POs, and inventory, labor, customer info, work orders, etc. Multiple departments use it, and several users are in different roles.

Pros and Cons

You can make different note sections.
You can rearrange columns to show the data you want.

Inefficient (think multiple things have to be clicked to view/edit).
In my opinion little to no automation or notification capacity.
The search function rarely yields the results you want.

Return on Investment

Negative impact on ROI due to higher labor required per task working with an inefficient system.

I believe it's the opposite of intuitive/user-friendly. You have to click 5 things to do 1 thing. I think nothing useful is visible - it's all hidden. The search function is abysmal. You end up wasting plenty of time when using it.

Connected Construction Management

We have some workflows in Spectrum, but setting up new ones is not a quick and easy process.

Likelihood to Recommend

I tihnk Spectrum isn't terribly dynamic or adaptable. It's more of a record software than anything else, and it necessitates other product integrations to be able to conduct business in 2023. From its interface to its useability, it's not intuitive or user-friendly. No one I know likes using it. In my opinion, if you just need records that don't require frequent updating or collaboration, it might work for you.

Could use more automation and notification capacity
