STRUCTURE Blue

Pros: Very well organized in the way to get everything in it's place. We reduce mailing ques to send PO to our vendors

Cons: Sometimes it things result difficult, to many buttons, to many steps.

Pros: We utilize the project management side of the software to integrate AP so the accounting team can have an easier time with the billing process.

Cons: We do run into issues with software updates, but the customer service team is great on fixing the issues asap. All software updates have bugs, so I wouldn't discount structure. It is something that we run into a few times a year and need to call into customer service to usually get the fix within an hour.

Pros: its pretty easy to use and understand and if you cant the customer service will help you.

Cons: when there's a problem it doesn't give you much info

Pros: The job cost module. The inventory module. The barcode module. The IWR job paper. The mobile apps.

Cons: We would like to see more Windows like components.

Pros: Self explanatory as long as your understand accounting

Cons: Not flexible enough when making corrections

Pros: Ease of use and the ability to adjust the modules and reports is very helpful.

Cons: We use this software for Accounting and payroll primarily. The only downfall is that they are not a payroll specialized company so they are not able to meet all our needs in that regard.

Pros: I like the security about this software. It makes me feel secure knowing everyone has their own account which lets you know who has edited a certain job. I also enjoy the software letting me know how many attempts of logins.

Cons: what I like least about this software is that sometimes it will freeze or exit out of my screen. Not all of the time. there inst really anything I dislike about the software.

Pros: User friendly and easy to use. It is easy to create invoices and AIA forms. I like the aging reports.

Cons: AIA invoices you can't make corrections after you post them you have to void them and it is too time consuming. Statement are hard to read per our customers.

Pros: The customer service is awesome, I love that they can log in and help you solve issues that cannot be fixed over the phone. I also enjoy the efforts in moving towards making our business more paperless every day.

Cons: It took awhile to learn and get the hang of things especially when you have to self-teach the software but the customer support is great at getting in touch when you have questions.

Pros: The support team is prompt and very helpful.Team is always willing to help or investigate a problem. Team is very knowledgeable!

Cons: The submittal module could use some enhancing. I think it would help to be able to add multiple lines at a time to the document and edit them. This has improved over the past, but there is still room for improvement. The warehouse/stock/receiving material seems to be confusing.

Pros: It is way better then what we had. We did everything manually before so it streamlined everything and made it a faster process. It also allowed us to store documents all in one place and have a lot of information in one place.

Cons: You have to push too many buttons to get what you want done. It also is not as user friendly as it was described to us. When we got into it, there were a lot of things that didn't flow well or that were not easy to use.

Pros: It does keep us more organized and is more streamlined than our prior system of each person having an excel worksheet.

Cons: The warehouse inventory system is not user friendly, particularly when our warehouse employee struggles with computer skills

Pros: I like that it is user friendly and easy to navigate. If and when I do have an issue, I like that I can call the call center and get online/screen grab feature to help me out.

Cons: I would say I don't have alot of cons, but if i had to say something, I'm wondering if CF Data could implement some type of "void" proc for invoices.

Pros: Bent Electrical have been using STRUCTURE FOR 25+ years, I have been a user for 13 years. Bent use the AP, AR, GL, Purchase Orders, Payroll, Work Orders, and Project Management modules, all the modules integrate seamlessly. Their support is outstanding and they listen to their users. I strongly recommend STRUCTURE to any size construction company.

Cons: As with most software they are not specifically written for Bent Electrical. STRUCTURE deals with by working with you to ensure you are getting the most out of their program.

Pros: We are a commercial flooring dealer and use job costing for all of our projects. We use Structure for sales/estimating which then feeds into placing orders to vendors and receiving the AP invoices for those vendors, which is super slick and cuts down on a lot of inter-office research on who ordered what and how much for where, it's all right there matching and lining up from the bid process to the order process to the AP process. On the AR side there are multiple options for creating your AR documentation depending on the types of projects and customers, we use several different formats and it has been working out nicely. Being able to create the shedules of value for AIA applications straight from the bid is a huge time saver!

Cons: My only con, is not really a con, it's just warning that if you make a mistake you have to actually follow all the steps to undo it. Void your item re-enter it re-process it. No QuickBooks style open it up and edit it and it was never a mistake. Which was hard for me to get used to at first, but has paid off when I look something up and wonder why it's different, I have a transaction trail to follow of when I did what.

Pros: I like the simplicity of the program, its very intuitive. I do not have to read through a book to get what goes where, I can easily understand the flow from screen to screen. And C/F data's willingness to customize is the best!

Cons: In order to keep it simple sometimes features are missing but the essentials are there and with every update we get more and more features.

Pros: The financial reporting aspect is beneficial to accurately track our jobs. Putting together proposals is easier than our previous system and easier to note misses.

Cons: As with any software solutions there are things you would like the ability to more quickly customize. We would like more customization and editable fields in workorders.

Pros: I like being able to scan in vendor invoices so that others can see the invoice without having to dig thru a filing cabinet. Dispatch board lets you see all techs, you can open the work order from the dispatch board and issue POs. This software is very easy to learn and use! The customer service is awesome - quick response! They are always making improvements and updates!

Cons: Some reports are confusing to read. Customer statements can be hard to understand what you are looking at.

Pros: Scanning invoices to Vouchers is great. Being able to print service reports is a great feature. Tech link is a great function and has added more flexibility and timely billing to our system. Online service report shows work order number in subject line. Can use multi-sessions at one time - eliminates toggling back and forth saving time and efficiency.

Cons: Uploading a picture to work order would be a huge stride. WOE history is limited. when suspending the order for parts, the signature of the client erases. If an update goes wrong, can't get out of it and continue the day. Dispatch board can not move an entire column to next day.

Pros: It is thorough in the information that it provides via reports, yet it's a basic, intuitive product to use. Second, the support staff is fantastic.

Cons: It's not at as useful as I had hoped for our very specific type of work. It's geared toward general contractors, not as much for specialty contractors.
