Worth it for project costing

Foreign currency handling is properly built in on Professional, and the fixed asset register saves the schedule we used to keep separately. No complaints so far.

Pros

Foreign currency handling is properly built in on Professional.

Cons

CIS costs extra on top of an already high subscription.

Overkill unless you need the modules

Project costing gives us real margin per job rather than a guess. Only real gripe is that CIS costs extra on top of an already high subscription.

Stock control keeps us here

Stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it, and project costing gives us real margin per job rather than a guess. No complaints so far.

Pros

Stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it.

Cons

It is desktop software with cloud bolted on and remote working shows it.

Does the job, feels its age

Project costing gives us real margin per job rather than a guess. Only real gripe is that upgrades occasionally break a custom report.

Powerful but you pay for it

CIS costs extra on top of an already high subscription, and extra users cost more and it adds up fast. The document capture pre fills purchase invoices and saves hours a week, which is about the only positive.

Pros

The document capture pre fills purchase invoices and saves hours a week.

Cons

CIS costs extra on top of an already high subscription.

Still the best for inventory

Project costing gives us real margin per job rather than a guess, and multi company reporting means I am not consolidating in a spreadsheet. The interface is dated compared with anything browser based, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

The interface is dated compared with anything browser based.
