FOUNDATION

Avantages

CPA module, job costing, ease of use, customer service

Inconvénients

There is nothing that comes to mind for this question.

Avantages

The price and easy of use. All the other options are more expensive and more complicated for non accountants to use. This system allows for data entry to be uniform across the different modules and maintains the separation of duty and historical records. An entry can't just be deleted and hidden. A journal entry is required. This system offers so much for the money. From Job costing and T&M billing to Equipment and Inventory tracking. It can't be beat on value received for the price and I hope that doesn't change.

Inconvénients

Custom Reporting and templates could be easier. PO approval process is missing from so many of systems out there and would be an added value.

Avantages

I like the ability to pull & filter reports for job. It really allows you to narrow things down.

Inconvénients

I do not like how there are so many steps and windows to go through to update an AIA pay App.

Avantages

I thought FOUNDATION was a fantastic piece of software for my legal practice. Its extensive feature set that is tailored precisely to the requirements of law practices is one of the characteristics of it that I loved the most. My financial administration duties, such as billing, invoicing, and trust accounting, have been greatly streamlined by FOUNDATION's powerful and user-friendly accounting module. I like how well it synchronizes data and allows for efficient workflows with other crucial systems, such time tracking and case management. My firm's financial status has been made clear to me thanks to the configurable reporting features, which have helped me make wise business decisions.

Inconvénients

Although FOUNDATION has been an amazing software solution for my legal practice generally, there are a few features that I didn't think were as great. The learning curve needed to grasp its advanced functions is among the aspects of it that I liked least. It took me some time and effort to completely comprehend and use the system as a new user.

Avantages

It has more modules to offer for construction companies comparatively other accounting software.It gets the job done.

Inconvénients

1. Many modules to offer but many basic features not available. e.g. Payroll module fully functional but no option to print Corrected W2 and when contact support, they say we do not have that functionality and go to IRS website to print one. 2. Many functions on daily basis cancel each other out or overlap. e.g. Equipment module & Payroll module for work orders.3. Permission levels not optimized for security. e.g., Access to Vendors, it is either all information including account deposit or nothing. You can't have two tiers of permissions for employees: it's all or nothing.4. Bid Proposals can't be copied to AIA's.5. Mobile Time App not user friendly at all, full time sync error; on web, 90% of the time you need to clear cache & cookies or use private/incognito mode to use it.6. Training at start is only for basic use and they do not import your previous data, only bring in balances. If you ask later to import, they say it should have been done at the beginning when going live. after you go live, no help or you can use their consulting service to help you which will cost $250 per hour.7. Scheduler - no updates for last 3 plus years. Only available for print option - no export to excel or access in the field.8. Document Imaging - Routing for invoice approval is dated9. No audit log, only shows whoever made the last change on transaction.Actually, the list is endless from last 3 years of use, but it gets the job done with certain limitations.

Avantages

Exported reports to Excel are easy to data filter.

Inconvénients

Constant crashes, freezes, and error messages. Unable to select or unselect more data for specified report running. Too much clicking and not enough options to keep hands on keyboard for data entry. Inability to run reports while doing entry with document imaging. Training videos are too long and difficult to find specific information. Examples in training videos sounded like presenter didn't know what they were talking about. Horrific IT assistance. The entry screen cannot be minimized or maximized to assist with reading. The data entry screen is too wide to fit without scrolling. IT doesn't understand how the AP module works because they are unable to classify what the error messages mean and what the specific error or crash issue is with entry.

Avantages

Software was easy to use after initial training. invoice attachments was new to us so that was very helpful.

Inconvénients

The reports had the details of what i needed but when trying to export them they would come out unreadable.

Avantages

Foundation was fairly user friendly and had several features that worked well with the construction industry. The payroll module was thorough and easy to use.

Inconvénients

Creating manual entries in the payroll module was tedious and difficult for a company that used a PEO (outsourcing for labor). The taxes had to be hand changed for pennies in order to make the reports balance.

Avantages

The interface is very user friendly and running MS Query through the SQL database allows for many different reports.

Inconvénients

Some standard built in reports in the payroll module are not that comprehensive.
