Buildsmart - Review
Kommentare: Great experience, if they fix some bugs like and add some more features (one click voucher should open from report) to save the time.
Vorteile:
Very good budget control management, Project accounting is so easily monitored, ease in monthly closing, depreciation posting & WIPcalculations, Nice tool for cost allocation if you have manyr departments, activity wise project procurement control etc. uploading a huge journal data through excel sheet template
Nachteile:
Payroll module is a long hectic and not user friendly, unable to go directly to the voucher from a particular report, you have to type voucher num manually as the buildsmart does not have a feature to take you in one click, If an asset is added into fixed assets then again need to update/edit in master list.

Dear Younus, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Your valued feedback is very important to us, please see feedback regarding your comments: We would recommend a training session on the payroll in order to increase your ease of use. The process is very simple from the capture of hours against contracts, cost codes & activities, capture any advised payments or deductions, capture leave & sick days, calculate, check, print payslips & create the WPS file with the final process of posting to the GL being an integrated system. Updating the asset master is a control process as the asset master requires so much more detail with all the depreciation options available in the system as well as other asset information. The Voucher numbering was developed purely for India & the Gulf, it complies to the requirement of sequential numbering for filing systems and document retrieval. This was never designed to be a focus of the system & not designed to drill down to a voucher number.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Great for Construction Costing and Financial Accounting
Kommentare: Great tool for the Construction industry.
Vorteile:
The idea that construction contracts are seamlessly costed into an accounting format, for ease of reporting. Both for cost reports and financial statements.
Nachteile:

Dear Richard, Thank you for your feedback on BuildSmart. We understand that it might not be the perfect fit for everyone, especially those outside the construction industry. BuildSmart is specifically designed for contractors and construction companies, focusing on managing subcontractors and other industry-specific needs. While Accounting systems are good for general accounting purposes, they don't offer the specialized tools and functionalities that BuildSmart provides for the construction sector. BuildSmart is tailored to handle the complex workflows, project management, and financial tracking required in construction, which can be quite different from standard accounting practices. We appreciate your insights and are continually working to improve the usability and efficiency of our software based on user feedback. If you have any specific issues or suggestions, we’d love to hear more so we can address them effectively. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts
Superb Software from RIB!!
Kommentare: Superb experience received from trainers and support.
Vorteile:
The way the software can drill down to contract and activity levels is astounding. The live system enables up to the minute reporting.
Nachteile:
The cashbook capturing is not as user friendly as a traditional accounting package, but still good for a cost accounting system. The park and post functions are well liked.

Build Smart review
Kommentare:
As this is the 3rd program in the last 26 years of doing contract admin, I found this to be the
easiest program to do accounting and costing in. Well done it is an amazing tool
Vorteile:
It is very user friendly an can be applied in all stages on Construction Projects big or small
Nachteile:
In Contract valuation, if you have an error on the amount entered it cannot be rectified, the program goes to a halt, you need to go out and go into the program. You cannot re-enter the amount, although it is only saving and posting the entry later on.

PROCUREMENT
Kommentare:
Nice experience not much issues with it
Job is being done as expected.
Vorteile:
User Friendly To attached quotes and to escalate for approval with different stage of approval whereby every person is aware of what being procured. Easy to insert prices and suppliers Easy to extract requisition on an excel sheet.
Nachteile:
The reporting system is not efficient. e.g if I need to extract a report for items procured on a specific work , BS do not have that facility , i wil have to extract a the project items procured and then select the items for the specific job. If this one can be added, BS will be great.

RIB BuildSmart Review
Kommentare: Okay, but not as user friendly or as good as other accounting and payroll software.
Vorteile:
Some things are easy to use like debtors invoicing, bank reconciliations and journals.
Nachteile:
Changing of dates and periods. Not being able to drill down. Not being able to write reports. Not being able to edit transactions after posting. All the procedures for month end, year end, debtor, ledger, subcon, etc. Too many complicated procedures compared to other accounting systems. Payroll not half as good as other payroll software and requires much more programming.

BuildSmart for all
Kommentare: As mentioned above, it is a learning tool for the company and we are busy experiencing new features and report reading and excited to see what we can achieve by utilising the system on a full function basis.
Vorteile:
What I love most about the software is the reporting system. I base it on weekly and monthly performance appraisals. I also appreciate the fact that it can direct you in terms of cost saving and very excited when new features are released. It shows that the voices of other customers are heard and CCS is constantly working to improve the use of the software.
Nachteile:
I cannot think of anything yet as we are still new to the system and as we experience challenges, the customer support is constantly there to assist.

RIB BuildSmart Software Review.
Kommentare: RIB BuildSmart is user friendly and yet comprehensive software that one can use to manage finances of the projects and business overall. it is financial software that a recommend for construction businesses as it tailored for such type of businesses. The ability to report live information on the ground is absolute essential.
Vorteile:
One of the aspects I appreciate most about Build Smart is its ability to offer real-time financial updates for the project and the entire business. Its integration with CCS guarantees that data is more precise and reduces the frequency of irregularities that could compromise the accuracy of the data and the reliability of the reports.
Nachteile:
I have nothing much about the downside and believe with training you get better and faster in completing tasks. I must say at times the programme gets slow and it kicks you out and you need to login again and again.
The Best there is
Kommentare: I enjoy using BuildSmart and would recommend to any construction company.
Vorteile:
The ease of integrating Candy with the cost in BuildSmart. The different reports that is available and the overall functionality
Nachteile:
The use of stores is not always conducive to how materials are delivered and used on a site.

Dear Akhyar, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Your valued feedback is very important to us and we assure you of our continued support. Please see below feedback regarding your comments: In the Orders By Selection report, you have the option of running the report for a specific resource and as you are aware, each type of steel has a resource code and this can be run from a specific resource to a specific resource so you could get the complete range of steel resources across all contracts. In addition to this, if you are not procuring from a resource code, there are multiple options to report materials procured. By Ledger Code to filter type of Material or DESCRIPTION can be used and by entering a key word, all orders using the key word, like steel, would be reported.
Solid Software for Construction Companies
Vorteile:
The most liked feature in Build Smart is its integration with Candy the estimation software, the budget can be imported to Build Smart from Candy to manage the procurement process, then the actual cost can be exported to Candy from Build Smart for cost control reporting. It is also web based platform which make it easier to work anywhere & anytime.
Nachteile:
Would prefer if you can link Candy & Build Smart using BOQ item codes instead of task codes to make it very precise to find each item budget and actual cost.
