Knowify

Absolutely the best job costing app for subcontractors and trades that integrates with QuickBooks.

Kommentare: We love sharing this software and its great features with our construction clients. To my mind there is no better job costing app on the market today for subcontractors and tradesmen in commercial construction.

Vorteile:

The 2-way sync with QuickBooks; the ability to create AIA style billings directly out of the program (no duplicate entering); the integrations with great apps like ClockShark and Tsheets; the great dashboard on which you can monitor the profitability of each current job; the ease with which you can budget and bid from within the software; the wealth of available reports; and so much more.

Nachteile:

Some improvements could be made to the service ticket side of the program to make it more comprehensive; if a PO is fulfilled in QuickBooks there is no way to match it in Knowify, so it has to be closed out manually on the Knowify side.

Great Value

Vorteile:

It is easy to use, it has a lot to offer and they know what they can and can't do and will tell you honestly what they can and can't do. They don't try to sell you false claims.

Nachteile:

There are some features that we would like added or added to, better reporting on things we need would be nice.

Highly Disappointed

Kommentare: Our company moved from a total accounting program that encompassed project management geared toward construction, to Knowify Project Management app with QuickBooks Online. Once we paid for our subscription, the subscription names changed and although we are grandfathered in to what we purchased, any enhancement comes with a cost; the first request (tracking of overtime) was DOUBLE the subscription price. As a company that utilizes American Institute of Architects (AIA) project management and billing, we rely on project reports that tell us how much is booked vs spent on each phase, how much we have paid our subcontractors (minus retention) and how much our direct labor and burden costs are to-date. There is not a single report in this app that can tell me these important facts. There IS NOT a report that tells me the value of each phase, how much I have paid the subcontractor(s), and what our direct labor and burden costs are, to date for a specific project; vital information for any general contractor.And, even though Knowify can populate to QuickBooks, it does do so in the reverse. All invoices and expenses (including credit cards) entered into QuickBooks on a project DO NOT populate to Knowify automatically. One has to copy the url link for said invoice or expense, and paste it to a populate screen where it puts the expense into the project, but does not put it into the correct phase. One has to do that manually as well.

Vorteile:

Inexpensive for what it does (but there is more of what it doesn't do, than what it does).

Nachteile:

Many features used in AIA project management are lacking

Knowify is a great tool for the company

Vorteile:

The integration with QBO is top of the line. Customer service is excellent and quick to address any problems.

Nachteile:

As with anything, the cost could be a little lower.

Amazing product

Kommentare: Knowify has allowed us to streamline our processes, understand our costs and become more profitable.

Vorteile:

It is very easy to learn, and use. It keeps all of our information in one place.

Nachteile:

I am happy with all the features currently.
