Project Management
Comments: It's been wonderful to implement a new software to our project management.
Pros:
This software is great for keeping all documents relating to a project in one spot. It links all the items I use daily to the project so I don't have to store them on my computer.
Cons:
Took a little navigation to find where and how to get things in there. As well as the form making, but overall, not much I don't like.

Foundation Software makes construction accounting easy to understand.
Comments: Foundation has made record keeping easy and ready for outside auditors review procedures.
Pros:
Cost, user friendliness, help screens updated and online, and support is second to none.
Cons:
Absolutely nothing! Hope to expand our usage of Foundation software because we believe that we have not experienced the whole package benefit to date with different modules.

Look for another System
Comments: The customer service and support has been anything but stellar. If we could go back we would do a better comparison of products.
Pros:
I would be lying if I said this software had many Pros. Only Pro seems the update process of the software.
Cons:
Service Module - this was a complete after thought. It seems this module was fabricated so Foundation can offer a complete package. Mobile - We have tried to work with foundation over and over to fix the bugs and how the mobile app works with or syncs with the office.Customer Service - You can try and try to get the help you need. It is just the same old answer, I don't know how to to do that, or I am not familiar with that. Not even a - call this person or let me fins someone that can help. But they are willing to charge more to fix an issue we have had rom the beginning.

Great Software, Very Good Value, Oustanding Support. Usually get call back within 30 minutes
Comments: We save time on payroll since we no longer had to manually enter time cards for all the field employees. Project managers can easily view their project reports, rather than have to wait for a report to be printed and given to them.
Pros:
Ease of use. Once we got past the implementation, which was really pretty simple, we were off and running. Payroll importing of timecards feature is outstanding, no daily data entry except for overhead employees. You create your menu an follow the steps. Accounts Payable features are easy to use and data input in quick and easy, allows you to attached copies of the invoices so others can see what was shipped and invoiced. Check writing is simple and automatically creates additional invoice stub if invoices exceed allowed space on check.
Cons:
Would like to see ability to create more reports and lists without all the other data on the report. Must import to excel for some things, which to me is an extra step that could be avoided. Ability to insert blank lines on lists to separate employees on custom employee lists. Doesn't have subaccounts for accounts that you want in more detail, such as repairs to your building or keeping auto expenses separately if you don't purchase the equipment module.

Great product with AMAZING customer service
Comments: We have had a great experience with Foundation, for our size business, it's perfect!
Pros:
The software is easy to use, and customizable. It's simple, and customer service is Fantastic.
Cons:
I wish there were more standard caned accounting reports like TTM income/balance sheets and the ability to customize standard budget reports. More filtering criteria to run reports would be great.
