Bewertungen über ProContractor

So far so good, new the software!
Kommentare: 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.
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.
Switching from American Contractor to ProContractor
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.
Feel like I was lied to
Kommentare: I have noticed that PC trys to work with you more and help you more than the way it was in 2016. But now I feel stuck with a product that does not work for me. I do not have the money nor the time to get another system right now. I have looked in the past and found other systems that looked like it was more user friendly and able to access documents easier.
Vorteile:
Integration was long and not what I understood. I was shocked that I had to do all the work - I thought I was paying for PC to set up a program that was specific to my needs by giving them the information. The billing can be easy if my GC accept an AIA or a standard Progress payment that PC offers but a lot of them do not so billing becomes very time consuming (read cons). There is actually not a lot I like about PC. I have been extremely disappointed because I had written down 2 pages of information I was looking for in a system and the sales person was a great sales person because it has not worked the way I have needed it to and they made it out like you
Nachteile:
I bought it so I could have everything in one place - for instance.....Estimating (that I don't use) The ability to move estimates into Purchase Orders (that I do not use) The ability to upload pay applications from GC into PC to fill out (This was not true - actually requires a lot of money to pay someone to create a Pay App that I would be about to use with PC billing) Simple reports that I could run by crew leader, Project Manager, and GC that I could give the [sensitive content hidden] to help him make better financial decisions moving forward (I talked to PC and they did not offer what I needed) - These were some major reasons I purchased PC - Also, running sub 1099's do not match with the Income Statement. It would be nice if not only Pay Applications auto-saved in the project binder, but also Purchase orders, and change orders. It would be so nicer if Project connect would show the paid vendor invoices, and Pay Applications (they just disappear from the page, and I need those often! - I know they can be found in another report - but it's having to go look in another place - PC has that information, it just needs to be in Project Connect so it is all in one place! Taxes - I don't understand why the information would not print on a form that could be submitted to the IRS or to GA - PC gives you the information, why not put it on the correct form?To have the ability to easily scan vendor invoices into PC and to be able to view them with a click of a button in different locations
10 years in Procontractor
Kommentare: I personally love Procontractor. Became a master user quickly, and now I get calls frequently with how to questions. Recently I have began using Spectrum too which is also a viewpoint product. I still hands down prefer Procontractor!
Vorteile:
Procontractor is very user friendly. Has an ease of functionality.
Nachteile:
The time it takes for certain reports to run, when you host your own server. I've noticed with the cloud; it goes much faster.
Providing timely and accurate project accounting and management for contractors
Kommentare: Our clients are billed on a time and material basis. We must be able to provide them everything they need at a reasonable cost. ProContractor allows us to do just that.
Vorteile:
We are a bookkeeping service for contractors. ProContractor was very easy for us to convert all our existing clients from American Contractor to ProContractor. We have also brought on contractors from other software packages with ease. We are able to provide our clients with all their accounting needs from payroll through financial reviews, bonding requirements and cash management.
Nachteile:
In most areas of the product the keystrokes required are identical. There are a few areas that don't seem to function as you might expect.
Great On-Premise Entry Level System
Kommentare: 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.
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.
This software is unstable garbage.
Kommentare: I do all my estimating in excel. I can hand write POs faster than your stupid software.
Vorteile:
There are no pros.
Nachteile:
You software is trying to be everything to everyone and is nothing to no one. Your estimating module is weak. I have to manually print each PO - at least 9 clicks. Brilliant thinking, folks. I could 20x estimate faster 25 years ago. In addition it is slow and unstable. Support is a joke. As soon as I can you morons are in the rear view mirror.
This Program Sucks
Vorteile:
Nothing. This program is truly awful. I would not recommend
Nachteile:
Everything. The Customer Services is a JOKE. My program kept closing every time I ran a report. I opened a ticket on Nov 12 and still on Dec 27 no one has called me back. I've made at least 6 calls to their customer service for help each time waiting on the line for almost 30 min. Save your money and get a different system. This one is awful.
Product is ok
Kommentare: Not great, if we had to do it over again we most likely would have chosen a different product.
Vorteile:
The ease of finding projects and the customization of the setup screens are the best features.
Nachteile:
Important processes take too long to complete, too much wait time. Lots of quirks within system. Reports taking too long to run, after long string of GL entries the system will boot me out thereby requiring me to reenter all of the data again. We get weird error messages that mean absolutely nothing to us therefore we don't know what direction to take. We have to log out and log back in frequently to complete random tasks. Feels like system was written by people who don't use it in a front office role.

Procore
Kommentare: Overall I feel that this was a benefit to the company. We hopefully will recover our substantial investment within the next couple years.
Vorteile:
The integration of project documents into the procore system is impressive. The ability to create a submittal register from the specifications was very helpful. The ability to collaborate "ball in court" and keep track of who is doing what helps facilitate progress in the project
Nachteile:
This is no user friendly. For those without a strong computer background it will be a rather steep learning curve. For those with a strong computer background it still will difficult to relearn the concepts that are readily available. I have not had an opportunity to watch the how to videos to see if that would help.
Horrible
Kommentare: Terrible, wish I did more research and read more reviews before investing so much money into such a terrible program
Vorteile:
Absolutely nothing, the entire program has so many issues
Nachteile:
We pay extra for ProContractor mobile and everything about the two modules are awful. My payroll is 100x harder because nothing ever fully or correctly imports over. The app constantly glitches and has to be deleted and reinstalled. Unable to open plans in the field that are supposed to be viewable. ProContractor itself is not user friendly at all and the reports are generally not helpful.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Great for construction companies of any size
Kommentare: Overall, ProContractor is my favorite Viewpoint software. I have used American Contractors and Vista. If American Contractors and ProContractor had a baby, I'd be happy to pay.
Vorteile:
Easy to use, helpful report parameters, awesome vertical layout
Nachteile:
The product is too expensive per license. Also, lack of support from sales account manager when I asked to be reimbursed for the cost of an IT company having to install 2 additional licenses twice because Viewpoint initially sent us a corrupted file. No one ever responded.
McDonald Construction.
Kommentare: Good
Vorteile:
We have been using ProContractor for over 10 years now. The integration from using our old software (Sage) to ProContractor went very smooth and training was very helpful.
Nachteile:
Using the estimating side of ProContractor. There are too many steps according to our estimator. From job set and entering alternates to making change orders.
Customer Service Needs Help
Vorteile:
I can not describe what I like most. It is very difficult to say nice things when you are having issues. If someone asked me if they should invest in the system, I would tell them all about the customer service.
Nachteile:
The least thing I like about ProContractor is their customer service. I am still waiting for help and its been 4 months. When I contact them about my open ticket they just say " we will get back to you when we can " They have now cost us in service fees and late fees more then what we pay them for a year subscription.
Procontractor Review #1
Vorteile:
I enjoy procontractor and its easy to work with.
Nachteile:
Sometimes it is easy to use but when billing can be easier, instead of adjusting the entry wish it could be deleted. Or when entering a change order - the line items could be deleted when the line was already billed out.
Everyday Use
Kommentare: I am able to accomplish what I need to do.
Vorteile:
Since I was not here for the previous software, I like ProContractor. The lettering and color scheme works well. The font is a good size. I do like the error messages. Overall, a good product.
Nachteile:
I was not here for the initial install, but it sounds like ProContrator took away some key functionality. It appears that sorting of items is not only cumbersome, but nonexistent. It sometimes difficult for our tech support to work with ProContrator. They either ignore, or very slow in their response.
Not worth the expense
Kommentare: Most complicated software on the market, plus it is very expensive. I know 5 other companies that have tried this and left ProContractor. I believe you could make this an easier software to work with or others will leave this software for a more user friendly software.
Vorteile:
I don't believe there is one PRO to this.
Nachteile:
Very complicated software, nothing is easy.
It's ok
Kommentare: If you know what you're doing or like to explore what each option does, you'll be fine but if you don't, there will be some head banging. Not
Vorteile:
Able to open multiple screens and tabs which is helpful across multiple screens
Nachteile:
Not fully customizable, have to constantly change settings, not user friendly in the field of use (accounting), some areas are convoluted, reports/queries are missing key fields, and one of the biggest pet peeves is that it is NOT geared for screen resolutions in this day and age. It CANNOT run on a 1080 screen.
Makes our business more profitable.
Kommentare: ProContactor has great customer service. When I have an issue, I can usually get the issue solved in a timely fashion.
Vorteile:
Pro Contractor for the most part is easy to use, and most new users need just a few hours of training to start using the program.
Nachteile:
What I like the least is upgrades but they do have to be done.
Estimation
Kommentare: We are able to deliver our estimates and reflect back on past projects to better improve future ones.
Vorteile:
We use Procontractor primarily for estimation. It has great integration with our other Viewpoint products. Estimates are easily setup and updated.
Nachteile:
Lack of feature updates. Currently cloud hosted and are forced to use it as a remote app. Would be better if it didn't require the remote app connection.
Needs some tweaks
Vorteile:
Reports are plentiful. Easy to drag documents into Pro Contractor.
Nachteile:
The ease of use could be improved. Having used many different accounting systems, I would not recommend.
Great software, needs some upgrading
Vorteile:
The software seems a little old fashioned, but it gets the job done. I like that everything is separated into categories, to a certain degree.
Nachteile:
I feel like there could be links between the categories, so that you didn't have to go out of one screen and into another and menu options, and that it would be much easier if it was simplified.
Subcontractor Review
Vorteile:
All construction documents in one location and being able to share all information with all the construction team.
Nachteile:
For Subcontractors it's not as user friendly as it is for the General Contractor side.
Review
Kommentare: Saves time
Vorteile:
Easy to use, saves us time in quotes,Can break out things to better explain to our workforce
Nachteile:
I can’t think of one right now as all good
Construction software
Vorteile:
The enterprise aspect, you estimating to operations is easy, and live time budgets is key to knowing where your projects are at
Nachteile:
Estimating module is difficult to navigate
