Premier Construction Software Erfahrungen

My experience has been pleasant so far in using this software. Easy to maneuver thru it.

Kommentare: Ease of you. Having the option to export to excel, word and PDF is also very great. Customer service is very responsive and timely with their responses.

Vorteile:

Search feature is great so you don't have to know exactly where a report or feature is, you can just type in a few words and it finds it for you. Adding additional documents in the software for Journal Entries or permits to a job.

Nachteile:

This software does not do consolidated Financials, you have to export to excel and manually consolidate it.

Great Software

Kommentare: The experience so far has been great, it took a little longer to implement and train employees on the program than anticipated but now that we are up and running we are starting to see the power of the software to impact and guide project management.

Vorteile:

The best part about Jonas Premier is that it is a project management software that is fully integrated with the accounting software because it is the same software. Many other PM software systems say they integrate with accounting but the reconciliations are painful and time consuming making executives question the accuracy of data being produced.This is a great software that does the critical things related to project management and accounting better than most.

Nachteile:

Payroll processing, banking integrations, KPI reporting, foreign currency translations are clunky, credit card module missing, drawings management, and personnel expense submissions.

Product on the good path to success!

Kommentare: Overall Jonas Premier is a good software, but it is definitely not the greatest accounting software. At least just yet.

Vorteile:

The software is very easy to navigate and very easy to use.

Nachteile:

Many errors and not all the features (especially accounting or reporting) are not well developed.

Accounting & Project Management in one software is finally here!!

Kommentare: Premier has helped me become more organized and more confident in going as paperless as possible in 2023.

Vorteile:

Lien module, Subcontractor module, Signature module

Nachteile:

Billing for multiple properties under one AR Customer, to show all on one invoice but sub-total for each property then grand total for final invoice. As per some of our clients request.Not be able to run payroll through PremierNot be able to accept credit card payments from clients through Premier.

A Game-Changing Construction Management Software

Vorteile:

Premier is a modern, systematic, and highly effective construction management software that has transformed our operations. It streamlined our AP process, enhanced project compartmentalization, and provided insights into previously less visible costs. The software’s commitment to data security and organization, highlighted by the OData feature, has seamlessly allowed us to systematize and error-proof our spreadsheets, enabling real-time modeling and interaction between our data and our analysis without the need to constantly recreate, export and import; we have access, control, and agency over our information. The UI and extensive reporting are impressive!

Nachteile:

Not applicable - no cons from using Premier Construction Software

Premiere software

Kommentare: Love it and believe it’s worth the work to implement in the end once understood the staff really buys in

Vorteile:

Premiere integrates both the project managment and accounting sides of our business. It has easy navigation. The integration was a bit of a challenge because our project managers had not used a software like it before and after 6 months are buying in

Nachteile:

It covers so much it takes awhile for the PM and accounting to understand each others role

Premier: A Great Tool

Kommentare: My overall experience has been great with Premier.

Vorteile:

Premier is extremely detailed and there is much capability.

Nachteile:

No negatives to mention with this software.

Incredible customer service + great multi-company environment

Vorteile:

We are a growing real estate developer that migrated to Premier from QuickBooks. During this transition, we’ve been pleased with the multi-company environment that allows you to easily switch from any screen and run consolidated financial statements by company. The software provides full job costing with multiple levels of detail, such as budget reports and tools, seamless integration between job cost and GL financials. It easily allows you to request and track approvals for invoices, contracts, PO’s and provides electronic signature as an additional benefit. Premier Excel permits you to pull live accounting data for endless custom report possibilities and allows you to attach files for all types of transactions to store in a folder system that’s easy to use.

Nachteile:

It’s a learning curve on how everything works with some inconsistency between modules in terms of functionality and layout, however, the team provides outstanding customer service and support when it’s needed. As our projects progress, we look forward to leveraging more of Premier’s features, such as the automated bank draws and vendor invoice portal.

Premier Review

Kommentare: Combining accounting and project management within one platform

Vorteile:

Product is easy to use and reporting is getting robust

Nachteile:

We implemented this so long ago and fell behind on the new releases and haven’t really been notified continually of the new releases.

Premier

Vorteile:

The accounting features are amazing! As PM with over 10 years of experience, it’s the best accounting software I’ve ever used. I have all the information in one system and can run any report you can think of!

Nachteile:

Field Management Tools need updating. Having the ability to access more from the mobile version. The addition of a photo tool will complete the software as a go to one platform.

Important message prior to purchase

Kommentare: Wonderful,

Vorteile:

The ability to track in real time our financial statements in order to make our company even more successful

Nachteile:

Not much I can think of, there is at times so much to learn and then attempt to train the other employees

Premier Review

Kommentare: After a rocky start for some of us old school employees we are beginning to discover the best practices for making the system work for us.

Vorteile:

I like having everything connected in one system and how project reports are so easy to find and easy to digest the information provided

Nachteile:

We are not using all of the features so are missing out on a lot of benefits that the program offers.

Solid ops software

Vorteile:

Great customer service and collaboration

Nachteile:

Not super user friendly until you get used to it

Premier review feedback

Vorteile:

speed, reliable, friendly use, quick. it responds the needs.

Nachteile:

I didn't find any shortcoming for the time being.

Jonas Premier User Review

Vorteile:

Software is intuitive and highly customizable.

Nachteile:

Very limited mobile app, no scheduling component, and no plan real plan management capability

Best Construction Accounting Software!!!

Vorteile:

This software is the first of its kind to give us real time financial information on our projects and company as a whole. The Job Dashboard and Job Forecast screens are everyone's favorite. It shows you everything you need to know on the financial health of your project/budget at any given time and you can drill down into pretty much anything for more detail. Commitments and compliances are easily trackable and things like double entries are avoidable because payments are done directly out of the software. Premier's customer support is extremely responsive, helpful and knowledgeable and always offers solutions on how to best customize the software for our company's unique goals and objectives.

Nachteile:

The software is not the easiest on the eyes and initially intimidates our project managers because it really looks and behaves like an accounting software. However, once the Project Managers learn the true capabilities of Premier, they are truly blown away. Would also be an added bonus if the software had more project management tools that are not related to the finances of the project.

Learning as we go, current training client loves what we have seen so far!

Kommentare: Everyone at Jonas has been very professional, friendly, helpful and seem to genuinely want our conversion to be a success. They have been very accommodating with my schedule and the need to reschedule appointments or take things out of order, based on work load. Everyone is incredibly responsive and I couldn't be happier with our training to date.

Vorteile:

We are currently in the training phase and are about half way through. I love that during training we have live webinars with the trainers and are able to ask questions and follow along in our test environment. Trainers are very knowledgeable and patient and the webinars are designed to be easy to follow along! The provided recordings of the webinars are a big help in going back and working in the test environment on your own afterwards. The webinars are followed up by one on one calls to discuss your company's specific needs and to dig deeper into specific areas; these sessions have been incredibly helpful and I highly recommend taking advantage of them. Coming from an environment that has done all of its project management manually, this is a huge conversion for us and based on everything we are experiencing during training, we made the right decision to go with Jonas!

Nachteile:

So far in training, there isn't anything I don't like about the software, as we are still digging in and learning our way. Some modules are easier to follow along than others, although I think that has a lot to do with personal preference (I enjoy the PM training sessions much more than the accounting). I think for me my biggest frustration with the training is the scheduling of the webinars. As the person leading the conversion, but also having to accomplish my regular work on a daily basis, two back to back hours of webinars twice a week is sometimes difficult to manage and I find myself having to skip or leave early at times. If i could change anything it would be maybe to have a morning and afternoon session instead of back to back.

Jonas Premier Review

Kommentare: We can now create percentage of completion reports instead of using excel spreadsheets. The reports are a great tool for project managers.

Vorteile:

1) The software is very user-friendly, the upgrades are very useful and the support is good. 2) Cloud Based - can be accessed from any where. 3) The development team does listen to recommendations for software use and tries to develop and implement those suggestions.

Nachteile:

1) We had a very difficult startup and implementation period. Our recommendation would be to someone looking into the software - Once you go through the group training, there should be one on one training to custom the software to the individual organization's needs. We were rushed through the training and right into one-on-one. We did not have enough time to convert the information from our old system in order to know what questions to ask. 2 ) We have issues with the software rounding, so reports and invoices are out of balance by pennies. 3 ) Could not use the mobile app - The APP does not work for Daily Reports

A solidly built platform

Kommentare: Overall, we are very happy with the service and support we receive from Jonas. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been amazing in helping us out in our times of need and we are forever grateful for him and the entire support team.

Vorteile:

The software is web based which makes set up/maintenance a breeze. It's intuitive and flexible which makes day to day tasks much easier. We reviewed multiple options, but Jonas was the one best suited to our needs.

Nachteile:

Reports. The boxed reports are great, but don't always provide what we need so we build a lot of custom reports with the Excel-Add-In. The issue with that is that not all the fields in the database are available in the data downloads which often results in having to link several sheets in order to get the information we require.

The Best Project and Financial Management on the Market

Kommentare: We use Jonas Premier extensively to manage all of our Solar EPC and Solar Construction projects. We use it to manage all aspects of the project (people, schedule and cost). Features like the dashboard provide management with a quick tool to see the status of a project, and also provides the ability to dig down into the numbers to see what is impacting the project.

Vorteile:

The fact that it was capable of managing both project and financial data in one platform, but was still robust enough for even a large organization. Premier has the ability to cover about 90% of all project management needs, and they are already working on the other 20%, which would cover the proposal process. The financial management is as robust as any major system on the market.

Nachteile:

The only thing that I did not like was the inability to support the proposal life cycle. However, I believe they are already working on adding this feature.

Good product and good implementation team

Kommentare: Overall, very good experience. The system has some features that are very beneficial and convenient. However, I wish they would have a way to link to bank sites so the data would be automatically imported in for bank reconciliations.

Vorteile:

Easy to use interface and the teams dedicated to training us on how to use the system. Alesia from Elevate has worked closely with us on a weekly basis and was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Was very responsive to our questions and provided good solutions that were specific to our company needs. It was also beneficial to have video tutorials that explained in detail how the modules worked.

Nachteile:

Premier would have technical issues regularly. We would need to refresh the whole page in order to resolve the issue which takes is a bit frustrating because the data would be needed to be entered again.

Jonas Premier Construction Software

Kommentare: Pros:
*Premier is cloud based making it easily accessible on any computer. This eliminates the need to install the program on various office computers. It also eliminates the need for a server in the office to back up the data.
*Premier covers all of our accounting and project management needs. As they expand the software (ie. added Project Management), we are using fewer external software product. We are able to do all of our accounting and project management in one package. This has simplified the process of change orders, subcontracts, etc where accounting and project management cross paths.
*Premier has a common layout from one screen to the next. This has made it easy to train people on using the software. As a trainee becomes proficient at one aspect of the accounting/project management, I can easily add another screen/task to their duties.
*They have recently added a new community website that allows me to submit, and keep track of my cases. I can also submit ideas for future development of the software and review and promote others ideas.
*The Premier team is very helpful and quick to respond when I have a question or problem. When I submit a case, they will call me, usually the same day, if they need more information to understand my problem. They check in with me on a regular basis to see if I am need anything. There is a quarterly webinar to keep us up to date on what has been added to the program, what is in the works for the future, and to find out what we consider our main issues with the program. There are monthly "continuing education" webinars on how to use Jonas Premier more efficiently Cons
It meets all of our reporting needs, however the reporting still needs some work, but they are working on some new reporting options.

Overall Good Software

Kommentare: Our invoice approval process as well as our payment approvals have become effectively paperless, which I would say greatly improves productivity. The support team is very responsive and transparent, for which I am very grateful.

Vorteile:

Sorting features and column order customization. Document uploads for invoices and journal entries are also a huge plus. I think the internal approval process is a massive improvement to physical alternatives.

Nachteile:

Frequent errors and calculation inconsistencies (specifically with rounding amounts)

Perfect Construction Accounting Solution for Small Contractor

Kommentare: More time you take to set this product up correctly, the more it will benefit you in the end... Take your time and get it set up right!

Vorteile:

Jonas Premier has a very user friendly interface, and allows for more customization than a product like QuickBooks or Sage 100 for a small contractor. Most software packages in the cloud don't allow for easy integration with Microsoft products, however, Jonas Premier does an excellent job of allowing for quick data entry via uploads (something QuickBooks specifically doesn't allow out of the box). Getting up and running with the software was easy and enjoyable through the webinars hosted by customer support.

Nachteile:

Seems like this product needs some work in reporting. The whole software interface is nice and crisp and looks up to date using current technology, but the reporting mechanism seems like it's a little archaic. That said, you can get a lot of data easily (and quicker) through Excel, and if you are handy with Excel, reports are easily made.

Modern, Integrated and Fast

Kommentare: Through its use of customizable forms and general architecture, Premier eliminated a lot of duplicate or manual work for us.

Vorteile:

It's tailored to construction accounting and in that way is quite intuitive to use. At a performance level, it's fast on the Web and the various ways it shares and references data internally makes workflows quite speedy. It's also regularly updated with new features and they share their roadmap and vision going forward.

Nachteile:

While technically OS agnostic, it's not platform agnostic or mobile friendly as it requires the Chrome browser and it's not formatted for small screens. I'm not trying to do my full AP workflow on an iPhone, but I can't look up an invoice for reference or get a vendor contact out of the system in an easy way on mobile.
