Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Subcontractor database is very responsive. The sales team and customer service given is excellent. There was an issue and the Director of Sales jumped on it right away and got a resolution that was acceptable for all parties.
  • It allows to search by zip code based on x amount of radius miles and it can be easy to use depending on the size of the job. It also allows you to load as many subs that you can locate.

Cons

  • Currently there is a limited selection of packages, options and pricing tiers.
  • Some of the companies that it finds are sometimes suppliers and not subcontractors. You still have to sort though the populated fields. To difficult to manually add an external subs to your list in order to help keep and track all calls and emails together. Does not allow you to edit your side notes Does not let you know if an email address is good or not.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to learn and use right off the bat. This software provided a significant benefit to our TAKE OFF process. The collaborative feature means our estimators across the country can all contribute and monitor the progress of the project. Easily bring up any and all drawings with the click of a mouse, saves bundles on paper and cost.
  • STACK has sped up our takeoffs making them about 4 times faster than before. I also like how their software integrates with Excel which makes it easy for me to finish our estimates and submit our bids. Customer support has been excellent as well - they are there to help me whenever i have a question!
