Mai 2018* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 8.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: So we just switched to doing our estimates in Pro-contractor and there are some great abilities like building assemblies for line items. This has allow us to minimize the amount of information that can possible confuse someone looking at it. We also like that everything can be tied to a SOV items easily. > > **Nachteile**: This software is a lot more complex that what we typically use so in that training time is a little more intense to understand. The terms used in this software also cause a little confusion as now what we use as cost codes are refereed to as phase codes which can get confused with phases. > > I will check back in after a full 6 months with the program but I bet our estimates are going to be more robust and decrease misses in the bids. ----- ### "Switching from American Contractor to ProContractor" — 4.0/5 > **Jillian** | *6. Juli 2023* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 7.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: I love the ability to customize the home page. It makes the payroll process much easier because I can put everything I need in one place and not have to go look for them each week. This also allows me to ensure I haven't missed anything in the payroll process.We also love the ability that we can have certain fields automatically show what they're supposed to for invoices and such. It's great to not have to redundantly fill in what will almost always stay the same but still having the ability to change it in specific cases when necessary. > > **Nachteile**: As the person who handles payroll there is one major con regarding having to "fix" timecards. We have since changed our process to minimize this but previously there was an issue of the field staff accidentally providing me the wrong cost code. I would then have to go back in to correct the cost codes so our Project Status Reports correctly reflected where the hours had been worked. There is no simple way to correct just one or two cost codes from a paycheck. In order to fix the codes you have to void the entire paycheck and re-enter it. This becomes rather tedious, especially if the mistake is on our General Foreman's timecard as he visits several different projects every day.The other issue that has arose also has to do with payroll. When it comes to certified payroll reporting we only have to report field hours. We do have some employees that work in both the field and our shop so sometimes they'll have hours in both places in the same pay period. The system doesn't recognize the difference between our shop and field cost codes. Whether or not an employees hours are included in CPR reports depends entirely upon what has been indicated in the pay class you're using. Due to this I have had to create identical "Shop" pay classes for every pay class we use and when entering shop hours we have to make sure the automatic pay class is changed to the shop version. ----- ### "Great On-Premise Entry Level System" — 3.0/5 > **Simon** | *6. Juli 2023* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 1.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: Having recently reviewed several enterprise level systems as possible replacements for ProContractor, as we thought we'd outgrown it, we've been struck by the utter simplicity of ProContractor to perform routine, but complex tasks compared to the more sophisticated and more costly competition. Maxwell Systems really did a great job in designing a very comprehensive and robust system for the entry level market. Realizing that we were actually in a very good position after all, we decided to stay with ProContractor, and build our own integrations, but Viewpoint pulled the plug on that idea by forcing its Cloud strategy on us.The ProContractor technical support team is truly fantastic, and mostly goes the extra mile. This is really the only area that Viewpoint has improved upon. Even low priority requests are usually responded to same or next day. The techs have been around a while and really know their stuff. > > **Nachteile**: When we purchased ProContractor from Maxwell Systems in 2013, it was available only as on-premise software, and very reasonably priced. We bought the software free and clear and chose the optional annual support. A few years later Viewpoint acquired the software, and our costs have soared since as the software has stagnated and actually deteriorated. Nevertheless, we are paying heavily just to run the software, albeit on-premise, i.e. the optional support is now mandatory. To add insult to injury, Viewpoint is now forcing customers to migrate to the Cloud by December 2026, but without any API support, and for this we will pay even more. Of course, this cost increase is spun as a huge advantage but for us makes this move is a non-starter. A closed Cloud based solution is a very poor choice in this day and age. Also, the last few "performance" releases have degraded the software quality significantly, whereas the upgrades used to be rock solid. I would not recommend this software until Viewpoint invests in some API capabilities. Unfortunately, Viewpoint has lost its way with this product, which is a great shame as it had so much potential in its market niche. > > When we acquired the software it was a fully functional (for our needs), well-priced and very simple to use on-premise entry level system from Maxwell Systems. Prior to this we were pretty much a paper and pencil organization. Nevertheless, the learning curve was quick, which has a lot to say about the intuitive nature of the software. Maxwell Systems implemented ProContractor on time and under budget, something which is inconceivable today. We purchased the software free and clear with optional annual support. With a bit of imagination and some in-house technical expertise, you could build fairly sophisticated integrations with Excel VBA macros reaching into the ProContractor database. The SSRS reporting was and is still in a different class compared to even the enterprise level competition.A few years later Viewpoint purchased the product. Costs have skyrocketed, and on-premise customers are now being forced into the Cloud by end of 2026, which is certainly the way the the world is going, but since Viewpoint offers no API support for ProContractor, this will break all our on-premise integrations, but also precludes us from exploring 3rd party add-on solutions. Viewpoint is not at all invested in helping us through this dilemma. ----- ### "Highly potent if you understand the value proposition" — 4.0/5 > **Dillon** | *22. September 2014* | Bau | Empfehlungsbewertung: 8.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: First, it should be noted that ProContractor is an entity owned and maintained by Viewpoint Construction Software. If anything, my experience has improved since VCS' acquisition of Maxwell Systems. ProContractor does a magnificent job for medium-sized contractors who require some costing rigor in addition to an integrated software package (i.e., including accounting, project management, and estimation in one piece). However, despite the seductiveness of the product's marketing, a considerable amount of thought needs to be invested in determining, analyzing, and comparing your present internal processes from estimation to project closeout with what ProContractor offers. In other words, do not let the marketing materials do the thinking on such a crucial decision for you. ProContractor was designed with industry best practices regarding workflow as well as internal controls in mind, not necessarily simplicity (as with QuickBooks). Many complaints pertinent to supposed extraneous steps actually tie back to how the software, through an impressive yet simple permissions infrastructure, can control who (for example, in accounts payable) enters invoices, approves them, selects them for payment, prints (i.e., has access to) the checks, and posts the transactions. Shortcuts are inexpensive until you realize how expensive fraud and lost trust can become. > > **Nachteile**: I do not dislike this software or the vendor, but this is an excellent opportunity to address points made by others who are dissatisfied with the product, for their disappointment deserves attention from even the most satisfied customer. When my firm adopted ProContractor and dumped QuickBooks Enterprise three years ago (just prior to my hiring, actually), we chose something that was decidedly less impressive upon implementation than presented to the directors during a trade show in Las Vegas. No thought had been given as to how our processes would align with ProContractor's intuition of proper workflow, because we were primarily concerned about fully integrating the firm's processes and procedures within the software ecosystem. We went live in three months flat after intense scrutiny of our costing, project management, and estimation procedures, humbling ourselves along the way through reconciling what we thought we knew with ProContractor's processes architecture and internal controls logic. Granted, we had suggestions (and lots of them) that were heard. Many of them, such as the lien management feature and many of the improvements in iPad integration, can be tied directly to our recommendations. Ultimately, we were satisfied, but that was because our expectations were not to invest in a system that would cater to ourselves without acceptance of potentially radical change, but rather to develop a relationship with the software and vendor that was founded on a trust of the system's logic. From there, we could use the system as a mirror to check our understanding of our business versus how it can function even more efficiently. ----- ### "Great All in One System for those upgrading from QuickBooks" — 4.0/5 > **Owen** | *22. November 2017* | Glas, Keramik & Beton | Empfehlungsbewertung: 8.0/10 > > **Vorteile**: ProContractor is a great all in one integrated system, housing all needs of our business, from estimating and project management through HR (not enrollment) and accounting. All modules are communicating mostly seamlessly and it handles our many intercompany transactions without issue. In addition, for someone who was new to the construction industry as an accounting professional when I started using ProContractor, I found it incredibly user friendly and easy to navigate\! > > **Nachteile**: As someone who is not extremely IT savvy, my biggest complaint is the out of the box reporting capabilities. Because of the module design, often you can't combine multiple attributes of two different modules into one report, instead you download the information and work with it in Excel. In addition, project management reporting is lacking, especially from a budget to actual perspective, despite all of the necessary information being there (this is from an accounting perspective, but I don't often hear that from our project managers). Also, the journal entry process is extremely cumbersome - I don't understand why they can't just design an Excel upload template. Finally, from a customer service perspective, I typically find them to be very responsive; however, for tougher questions or training needs, it is difficult to get them to dedicate time to you or follow-up unless you are persistent (i.e. they always want to try to knock it all out in a one hour phone call). Having said that though, some of our issues are self driven in that we skimped on a few attributes of original adoption/integration in order to save a few dollars. > > We are a specialty subcontractor with seven entities doing approximately $50M/revenue, have been growing double digits since ProContractor installation and have been ProContractor users for approximately 3.5 years. ----- Seite: 1 / 11\ Weiter: [Nächste Seite](https://www.capterra.com.de/software/1010522/procontractor?page=2) ## Links - [Auf Capterra anzeigen](https://www.capterra.com.de/software/1010522/procontractor) ## Diese Seite ist in den folgenden Sprachen verfügbar | Sprache | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Strukturierte Daten
