About

Job Costing is at the heart of A-Systems JobView, making your profitability the central focus. After setting up a job, the system compares your budget with actual costs. It even forecasts the cost to complete. Job Costing reports help you stay on top of the information. You don’t have to wait until a job is done before seeing if you'll make money. Instead, you can see profitability through every phase of the job. A-Systems JobView is quick to learn and easy to use. We can help you import customers, vendors, and employees from your current software. We can also help you set up your financial statement, and show your employees how easy it is to convert an estimate into a budget.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The process of Accounts Payable in JobView is streamlined. Putting everything you need into one section allowing for easy tracking of vendors, invoices, due dates, and more. Billing and Invoicing within JobView is a breeze. The program accommodates a wide variety of formats you can customize to meet you company’s needs. By having the ability to integrate other programs with A-System JobView I can process a perfect payroll within two hours (this use to be an all-day task). The staff are consistently demonstrating that they care about their clients they are ready and willing to help. They also ask for feedback on ways to improve the program.
  • JobView provides a variety of detailed job reports, makes updating easy, and customizations abound. Integration with the accounting side that makes financial statements and WIP schedules a breeze. Annually there are many new features to enhance the performance of JobView.
  • User friendly, reliable software support, reports export to excel, software is updated often, job cost reports are easy to read.
  • I appreciate two things the most: Retainage Management and our local representative, Danielle Klopfenstein. No other software can come close to managing retainage the way A-Systems JobView does. I have dealt with many issues within our company that Danielle's expertise helped us overcome using this software in ways we did not yet understand. At times, I have had to contact A-Systems support. They also have never failed to help. Company Support makes us even more fond of this software.
  • Very easy program to use and does everything necessary for a mid sized construction company. Reports are accurate and easily readable. We have had this program for over 20 years. There is continuous improvements that make your job simple. Importing from our B2W System to A-System for payroll has made our payroll function streamlined. Technical support is # 1 - very little if any technical issues, but more so user error that I need step by step help to reverse or correct.

Cons

  • Rarely there are glitches within the system that make reports hard to read, but with a quick phone call it is usually resolved right away or the next day.
  • Not as easy as QB's but much more secure and detailed.
  • There are times that the software has a glitch but we are able to connect with support quickly to resolve the issue.
  • This really is not a con, but I use an Excel spreadsheet to check the retainage on a Sub-Contractors Invoice before I enter it in A Systems. I don't know if that could be available within A-Systems or not. Anytime I have had an issue with A-Systems JobView, I have found that the fault was mine - a lack of knowledge of how to use the software - not the software itself.
  • I have not mastered the Work In Progress on this system, as I am old school and use our CPA supplied Excel sheet. This is something I should really do.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like that I can manage all my employees and ensure they have access to digital pay stubs on time and correctly. The admin end of Foundation Software is easy to navigate and set up new users as we onboard them. The design of their website is easy to use and support is always available when needed.

Cons

  • There should be an Android and iPhone app. Currently, you have to log into the website on your phone through a browser. Password management sometimes can be difficult with a large user group because password changes and management are only done via email invite to the employee on an individual basis.
