REDTEAM Review

Kommentare: Job costs

Vorteile:

Integration into QBO and the tracking of job costs

Nachteile:

reports - the detail of some reports is lacking. I would like to open and see a complete snapshot of money in/out including vendors and suppliers

What it doesn't do

Kommentare: Overall, seems to be solid system but with some need to know issues.

Vorteile:

contract/change order management, Red Team chat support is quick to respond and helpful

Nachteile:

1. Need to be able to use the same email address as a contact for different entities. + messaging is not a good solution as most companies will not change settings to allow this. 2. There should be a way to do a 2nd, 3rd, etc. estimate/proposal without it overwriting the original. Most everything else in RedTeam gets replaced (superseded) but not deleted/overwritten. This should be the same. 3. You can not delete/cancel an executed sub contract agreement. 4. There is a lot to learn beyond the training provided. 5. Anything sent from RedTeam (progress reports, proposals, etc.) are sent as a link. No way to send as a PDF. Links get caught up in spam/junk folders.

Project Manager

Kommentare: The main reason we have purchased RedTeam was to free up my time. We need a program that helps eliminate time-consuming processes and redundancies. While at the same time track time-sensitive communications. Estimates, budgets, buyouts, and billings can bog you down in tedious detail. But have a system that tracks it from day one thru the full life of the project is a great benefit. Also, having the ability to link with QuickBooks makes our office manager grateful she doesn't have to learn a new system.

Vorteile:

Systematic process. The program is well tuned to help eliminate the pitfalls of being so busy and missing a step or piece of information. The process forces you to not shoot from the hip, as we all have done and been bitten by it. The customer support can't be beat. The techs know their stuff and help you get going quickly, even when you ask the software to do something it was not designed to do, they still help you figure it out.

Nachteile:

Implementation, with any robust complete software program converting completely over to it takes time. The transition is challenging if you are busy. You will be tempted to stick with what you have always done due to being comfortable with it. However, that said the RedTeam support has helped me time and time again as I use the software more and more.

Great for Construction Project Management.

Vorteile:

We are a mid-size commercial construction general contractor that uses this software. We used to use Microsoft project and this is a HUGE step up from it. I know you can use the software for estimating, bidding, and a lot of other features but we strictly use it for scheduling, submittals, and closeouts. We might use it for estimating and bidding later in the future but for now scheduling works well for us on it. You can upload all of the plans to the software in the cloud and you can also include all of the RFIs, PCRs, punch lists etc. If you are using it to manage submittals it is kind of like a Newforma for the GC end of things. Scheduling is very convenient and you can add all relevant parties to view the schedule. This is nice because everybody can see in real time if we have a delay or scheduling conflict. There are smartphone apps for this as well. Customer support is excellent on this software if you have any questions or run into any problems. I would try it out if you are needing a good construction management software.

Nachteile:

The estimating portion of the software seemed a little buggy and difficult to understand. I'm sure it is great if you get it going but we just do not use this feature on it.

Efficiencies and Increased Productivity

Kommentare: RedTeam has been an effective upgrade to our previous software systems. Processes are streamlined and employees are more productive overall. We have a great relationship with the team and feel that we are a valued client. Their market value can't be beat.

Vorteile:

This software provides many efficiencies across all departments of our business. We are able to unify reporting and budgeting so that every project is done the same way. We have been able to improve our processes and procedures to be more productive and profitable.

Nachteile:

At times changes are made overnight to the software without communications and are noticed the next morning that something looks or computes differently.

Review

Kommentare: The experiences have not been the best, sometimes they are fine...but mostly the chat isn't available when needed and situations have had to be escalated due to responses not being timely or accurate

Vorteile:

Entering in invoices Being able to uncommit things when you need to Having the chat available, although not always available

Nachteile:

Once a project is created you aren't able to make any changes Most things you can't delete, you have to inactive items and start over

Awesome cloud based construction software

Kommentare: Overall I have had a great experience with RedTeam. The support was excellent the one time I used it and I didn’t feel rushed or like I was taking up too much time. You can tell that they want this software to be the best that it can be and I appreciate their continued investment in making it better.

Vorteile:

I have used RedTeam at my job for about 5 months now. It is designed for contractors by contractors which gives it an edge some competitors don’t seem to have. It’s easy to connect from anywhere with any device from pre construction to post construction including estimating, bidding, scheduling, etc. It has streamlined a lot of our day to day work.

Nachteile:

Sometimes the estimating portion can be a little glitchy. Also updates can take a while to get used to as at times they have made drastic updates to the interface. For users who don’t like change, I could see them struggling.

Red Team - Project Management Software

Kommentare: My overall experience with Red Team was really great. It allows everyone on our team (contractors, employees and the clients) to keep in touch and know what is required and when. The challenging thing with the software was to ensure everyone is using it and checking it regularly

Vorteile:

What I liked most about this software is how well it helps us keep track of any project at any time. With the mobile app at your fingertips it is easy to take pictures and make a report about issues, milestones, or even the project is completed.

Nachteile:

What I liked the least about this software is that there isn't tier pricing. Being a small company, there are many features we didn't need so it would have been nice to have a smaller/condensed/ stripped-down version made available.

Efficient Project Management Tool

Kommentare: RedTeam is a user friendly, and has a great template for any contracting business that needs help in organizing and start-up.

Vorteile:

Mobility of this software is effective in that it is easy to learn how to use and is compatible with most mobile interfaces for improved communications with those involved with the project. It also has the affordability that smaller businesses will be able to utilize this application as an advantage.

Nachteile:

Some features are not fully developed to their true potential which shows in the difficulty to follow how to use such as the submittal process. A couple other components needs some fixes before they can be utilized in an effective manner.

Know your Project Managers' IT capability and commitment before buying this.

Kommentare: Like I said, Know your Project Managers' IT capability and commitment before buying this. When we bought this, we did not get our PMs' commitment on migrating to this software from Google Drive. It was not implemented well. Although it has a lot of helpful features, it will not be helpful if the user is not tech savvy or does not have time to learn.
Being an IT who landed in the accounting department, this would have been useful to our company if the commitment to utilize this is strong.

Vorteile:

It is an all in one project correspondence to customer, accounting, subcontractors, and suppliers. I like its user friendly built and its professional look on their templates. Training for users on different roles are also available. It is very easy to contact help via chat. The builder of the software is in Orlando. We are also in Orlando.

Nachteile:

It does not integrate with our accounting software QuickBooks Desktop. It can integrate with online software though.

Tedious Entries Can you Help

Kommentare: ability to track cost and invoices in real time.

Vorteile:

RT's ability to track cost and invoices in real time. RT is much better than previous tracking method.Detailed breakdown

Nachteile:

Adding Labor and Expense Authorizations is extremely time consuming and tedious. especially when you have a lot of smaller projects. if we could add an expense authorization and a labor authorization to group of employees and assign employees to a group that could enable us to assign labor and materials to a Group 1 at the same time and Group 2 at the same time for example. however you can make it happen, having the ability to add labor and material authorizations all at once would be huge. it takes us about 30 minutes to set up a project and it's really inefficient (and frustrating) the way it is set up now. Please Help!

Good software but frustrating

Kommentare: Overall, I like the software -- especially when we first got it. Lately, the "freezing" up and being slow is quite frustrating.

Vorteile:

Time and expenses; invoice entry, employee, vendor components are easy to use. The audit feature on the buyout is extremely helpful. Overall, the software is easy to learn and use.

Nachteile:

Some components are tough to edit. It's easier to go through the deletion process than to edit. Expense and labor authorizations should have audit feature. The software FREEZES often -- very frustrating. Must log out and start all over. Should be able to see the names of projects -- the project numbers to ID the project does not work well with multiple projects happening at the same time. There is not enough space allowed for invoice numbers. Unless, I am unaware, you cannot run project reports from this software

RedTeam on a Multi-Family Project

Kommentare: RedTeam is a good project management tool for residential projects. It is currently being used on a multi-family project and definitely has some pros, as it keeps up with agendas, meeting minutes, submittals, and other project management items. The benefits I've come across using RedTeam is that it documents everything. If on the off chance something is deleted due to user error, their support team is fantastic and pretty responsive. They can usually rectify an issue if given some additional information (i.e. when the error occured, what was deleted, etc.).

Vorteile:

It is cloud based that can be used via web browser or on the mobile application and can be used anywhere with an internet signal.

Nachteile:

The user interface is not fluid and user friendly with regards to daily items (i.e. RFI's, submitting multiple submittals).

Good tool for a small business with big goals

Kommentare: We are currently using RedTeam mostly for estimating and preparing proposals. Its given us the ability to centralize our estimating process such as entering inventory items and getting pricing from subs. This has saved us a good amount of time. Looking forward to a couple "

Vorteile:

I like the fact that you can have "inventory items" saved into the system which helps a lot when putting together estimates and not having to go back and forth from word to excel when putting my estimates together anymore. Also helps a lot to be able to see the our subcontractors proposals within the same software.

Nachteile:

It would be nice to have a bit more freedom on customizing our proposal format. I also feel that it is missing the quantities in each estimate line item. One more very helpful thing would be to have the ability to "sign" or insert a signature into the files without having to go through Docusign and in our case turning the file into a PDF signing and then having to email from another platform and not emailing through RedTeam

Great product and company

Kommentare: We are a small company and were looking for a back office solution to help us manage the growth we were experiencing. We were frustrated with duplicating our effort and the time we wasted tracking insurance expirations, releases, duplicate invoices, etc. Most of the solutions that we found provided features that we didn't need since we use QuickBooks Online for accounting and didn't want a product that included managing that aspect of our business. I happen to come across a link to RedTeam on the QBO site and contacted them for a demonstration. It was very obvious right away that RedTeam was exactly the solution we were looking for. We could not be more pleased with our decision to go with RT. Not only do the product features fit our needs, the service and support we have received has been outstanding. This company puts forth a lot of effort providing the user with tools to get up to speed quickly and their Help Center is the best I have seen. I cannot say enough good things about RedTeam and their product and would definitely recommend it to others searching for this type of solution.

Vorteile:

Integrates with QuickBooks Online and PlanGrid. Manages the development process from estimating to invoicing.

Project Management Made Easy

Kommentare: I have been using RedTeam for over two years and I have seen the progression of the software through the years. The submittal process and RFI process is very clean and can be displayed to clients in an easy to read fashion. The bidding process is super helpful & intuitive and proposals look great using the RedTeam template.

Vorteile:

I like how easy it is to organize the project from the bidding phase, to the construction phase, and to the billing/closeout phase.

Nachteile:

If you have slow internet it will take longer to load pages.

Review

Vorteile:

It works well for job costing for our current needs.

Nachteile:

When I first started using Red Team I was able to call in and talk to customer support. That has changed and now I have to submit via online customer support. I currently have an issue and it hasn't been resolved in a week's time. Customer service responses are via email so the personal contact has been removed. I had another issue several months ago that was not resolved and just forgotten on Red Teams part. I will look for new software prior to my next renewal date.

RedTeam Review

Kommentare: Customer service is great! I utilitze the 'Chat with RedTeam' option when I have a question or need a problem resolved quickely. The RedTeam group is willing to assist at anytime and are great to work with!

Vorteile:

RedTeam software links with QuickBooks Online. The men in the field can enter their time from their cell phones into their timesheets.

Nachteile:

Sometimes our entries made into RedTeam does not sync/link to QBO. We feel like we have to double-check our records constantly because we are afraid that our QBO will be missing information that did not transfer from RT.

RedTeam Review

Vorteile:

Some pros I like about the system is that it is easy to navigate around and find certain spread sheets that are needed for accounting uses

Nachteile:

Some cons i have about the system is that it glitches and sometime there are updates and we as users do not always know about them so when we log in and something is changed we are caught off guard.

Using Red Team in Construction Management

Kommentare: We are in our third year of use. It is a great way to keep track of jobs, invoicing, and all the paperwork that goes with. As long as you have someone entering all the information.

Vorteile:

Easy Access. We have several projects in and out of state. All our PM's can access it, wherever they are working. AND, I love the dashboard, so you can see what has been added to a job, by someone else.

Nachteile:

The roundabout way to get to some of the information. the filters are very specific. Also, the cost. It is an expensive program.

Not a fan

Kommentare: When writing in the companies it sometimes doesnt give you the ratings option this seems to be a glitch. You can't load alot of photos without locking it up.

Vorteile:

The weather option. It gives you good record keeping capabilities.

Nachteile:

It freezes up on a regular basis and then you have to start it back up and go all the way through the system.

Amazing customer service and support, a great time saving and cost tracking tool.

Kommentare: Having set up several other management software systems, I was used to poor customer service upon signing the contract. Redteam's staff changed that opinion immediately and now two years in, continue to respond in less than 24 hours, have continued to improve their online issues tracking, have great webinars for learning features, and continue to improve every aspect of their product. They were hands on in the implementation, and always followed through to make sure we were pointed in the right direction or using features properly if asked. I'd love to thank all of their staff by name, but that might take too long. Other things I loved were that there has been no staff turn over, which with some of the other vendors I deal with, has been a major issue. Once implemented, and trained your staff will love this product.

RedTeamShare is great

Kommentare: Great product and customer support.

Vorteile:

The field personnel have access to all the plans and specs and are able to write daily reports, manage their time,and write rfi’s from the field. It saves our office a lot of time and headache.

Nachteile:

Wish RFP’s were writable from the field.

Time Saver

Kommentare: I depend on the constant real time info it provides and the ease of access. I also like the "share-ability"

Vorteile:

It is very convenient and sensible to have so much info easy too access

Nachteile:

Some customization of forms and creating a format that is new is very difficult or impossible.
