This company will sell you on the fact that this is an all-in-one solution. For a start-up business, this sounds ideal. They claim that there is a 3-page website that can be utilized and that it's easy to sketch out a drawing for estimates. The reality is, they have an open API integration for connection to an already established website.They do not have robust sketch software; you must upload a sketch or drawing into the system, then trace over it. You cannot add small jobs or even manage subs for a small job without first building a package to upload into the sketch.If you have a debris removal job, where no sketch is necessary, and you want to manage subs, you have to go draw a sketch, then build out an estimate. Simply creating a few individual line items for a job is not possible.This is clunky and not a good project management or sub management software for everyday small jobs. Their front-end proposal to the client is nice for jobs requiring a lot of different material selection. The proposal is laid out nicely and has a great customer-facing feature. The software itself, for easy everyday construction use, with a small project, is horrible. We requested a refund, felt that we were misled during the initial sales meeting, and paid for a full year upfront. And the company gave us the shaft. The contract states that they are not required to give a refund. Think twice before going with this company. we will be writing to the attorney general, as we are likely not the only ones effected as well as the BBB. Use extreme caution. This company will respond to this post saying they've done nothing wrong, yet refused to refund anything after realizing the benefits of this software were not true.
