Contractor Foreman

Just get it!

Vorteile:

The feature rich software was not what we thought we needed until we started using it. There are still things that we are learning about the software that help us better run our business.It was our goal to find something that we can use daily and not become burdened by the usage and need of the software. A few hours a day by the whole team makes sure that our customers are feeling important and well taken care of.

Nachteile:

There was a bit of a learning curve for our team at first. Once we understood that complexity and ability of the software ad a few trainings we were able to fins our groove. the best way to learn it is to use it EVERY DAY.We would like to see more of a CRM nurturing aspect within the program. Reminders, drip emails, etc..

Best Value

Kommentare: Its been great! we replaced 5 other apps we were spending money on and pretty much run our whole company out of CF and Google Workspace.

Vorteile:

We use the CRM and the project schedule the most. We are about to start using the estimates and bid manager more and are loving it. the documentation and punchlist features are great

Nachteile:

We don't like that our team cant clock in or use the app when the internet connection is low. I would say our biggest problems have come down to the app.

Poor Customer Service

Kommentare: Generally ok, except when you need customer service.

Vorteile:

When it works, it is pretty good.when it does not, customer service is not very good at all.

Nachteile:

When there is an issue, Customer Service is not very good. not prompt and precious.I have been locked out for about 3 weeks due to OTP integration, after several emails to get it fixed, I vented my frustration at the time it was taking, only to be told they will cancel my subscription if I did it again, I have been with them for 2 years. Here is what I sent."I still have the same problem.I do not get a text message or email with the Six digit OTP.How can I make this any clearer.Consider this as another time you have dropped the ball.For F#$ks sake, can someone fix this ASAP."

Just what I have been looking for

Kommentare: Thus far, it has been great. I feel that I do receive a lot of emails to start, but everyone is helpful.

Vorteile:

I love that you can start with a sales lead and guide it all the way through project completion. The features were well thought out and consider different ways of doing business. Sending quotes and proposals is fantastic as we are able to send it with as great, or little, detail as we desire. Originally I was looking for an estimating program, but this has exceeded my expectations so far.

Nachteile:

It can be a bit buggy and slow at times. Thankfully it's infrequent and live support chat is available as well as bug reporting.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Buildertrend

Warum Contractor Foreman gewählt wurde: Contractor foreman could do more for construction specifically.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Pipedrive

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Contractor Foreman: Pricing with Buildertrend did not feel simple and align with our budget. Contractor foreman allows you to have multiple projects running and multiple users, so we don't feel confined to a box while nickeled and dimed for each project.

The best out there for the price

Kommentare: It has been great and their quick to help out or implement changes you ask for, I have done demos with almost every other software out there and while some say they have a lot of features none of them compare to CF.

Vorteile:

All of the features, believe me I did a demo on ALL others and this one always came out as the leader plus they are constantly upgrading and adding new features. Let them know what you need or want and they will do their best to make it happen.

Nachteile:

I wish some things were more customized easily to suite our very unique needs.
