Candy

"Candy estimating"

Kommentare: Excellent, once established database and master can price complex items quickly and accurately

Vorteile: Features, layout of worksheets as well as the integrated planning and quantity offtake software.

Nachteile: Lot of features but no manual on how to use all the features

"CCS"

Kommentare: CCS is great for pricing tenders. It is great for assisting with the preparations of the cost reports

Vorteile: I enjoy the estimating and valuations . I like the fact that you can customize it for your own uses.

Nachteile: The difficulty and amount of time that it takes to programme on CCS. There is a lack of clarity of how to link everything and pricing multiple items with the same description.

"Candy is the best"

Kommentare: I Have been in Civil Construction for more than 20 years and have been using Candy for about 15 ears. I use it every day not only for tender estimating but also for cash flows and much more. It is a great product, with great support.

Vorteile: Candy is by far the most user friendly program I have worked with and updates are done very often. I will never use another program for estimating tenders. You can structure it according to your needs and use your own experience to define your pricing.

Nachteile: I can not say anything negative about Candy, I almost want to call it perfect.

"From an expert-level user"

Vorteile: - I love having the level of information to which I can do costing, be as accessible to me as this software does it
- the ability (though very very very under-utilized) to convert omney to a timeline is exciting

Nachteile: - the support line is geared to the average user. Not much in the wat for expert users
- the inability to integrate with other big-name financial packages is a downer
- a one fits all fee structure is frustrating. Because we're not all on the same level of skill.

"Candy in my workspace..."

Kommentare: I would definitely recommend Candy to any Construction business. You have to keep up with changing times to stay ahead of your competition and Candy is one of the best ways to do so. The courses that you can do with the program is also fantastic and you learn so much.

Vorteile: What I like most about Candy is the ease of using the product. Once you are set up and start going it makes your work a lot easier. It safes time and money, and in business time is money. I love how I can do my programming, subcontracting and pricing all at once. Project Management is made more efficient with Candy.

Nachteile: Initially getting all the "meat" for estimating of projects (Masters) can be a challenge. Pricing per license can get a little expensive if you do not make use of the program a lot.
