Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros 1. Everything related to construction is available on one platform. Hence information is handy. 2. Can give access as per the roles. 3. Accessibility made easy. 4. Quite easy to use. Tracking seems to be very user friendly. Most of the difficulties of a QS has been well taken care by this software apart from below (CONS). A software created by the people who know the industry. Most of the construction industries problem are addressed. Affordable to midsize firms. very good service support. Cons 1. Major reports like Purchase Register is not available where we can see each and every details of transactions. 2. Internet explorer and its settings are mandatory. Should be available for direct use on browser like google chrome, Mozilla etc. 3. Often unable to print or view report instead of correct settings. 4. Subcontractor invoice format is complicated to understand. 5. Interface could be more user friendly. 6. "Screen zoom level" error pops up every time after login. 7. IOS compatibility is the major issue. 8. Sometimes difficulty in downloading reports. 9. Exporting reports to excel is also a problem. 1) Noticed precision errors.For eg: At times when qtys are with recurring decimals work done amounts differs the work done amount carried from candy. 2) Exceeded qtys are not entertained.Practically variations cant be floated for any slight increase in qtys as against booked in the contract. The workspace is more text driven than graphic. Reports are not yet visual data and complicated for further processing. still not chrome compatible and mobile access also not well setup. Lack of a well developed mobile application.		Pros from Real Users Pros The pros for Premier are instant invoice matching, faster workflow, real-time project insights, and better budget oversight. Premier keeps all project and accounting info in one place—easy to track progress and manage billing. Pros for Premier is real-time data, powerful dashboards, and live Excel integration streamline every project.

AI tools & automation save us time, and Premier’s support team is always super responsive and helpful. Premier has brought all our project and financial data into one place, making it easier to manage jobs, track costs, and streamline approvals. It’s helped reduce errors, improve accuracy, and give us real-time insights that benefit the whole company. Real-time data accessible to all employees, reliable information, and a simpler way to handle routine tasks Many benefits, but to highlight a few: easy access to project financials, flexible reporting options, and improved communication between accounting and operations. All-in-one system (project management, change management, accounting) and real-time access for project managers. The biggest pro for Premier is Financial Reporting and Project Management in one system. They also continuously update their software.
