Pros from Real Users Pros i like the fact you can upload your building plans directly & scale them , measure walls or floors right on your screen to get quick, accurate material counts & then turn a won estimate into a live project calendar & build Gantt charts, generate purchase orders & work orders for your subcontractors Integrates well with other programs. The Support is very good, I get answers within minutes. Well-rounded program, suits me well as a small builder. I can track my jobs in live time, labor hours through the buildxact onsite app are easily tracked to labor costings Extremely time saving, easy to use, basic but detailed enough for building. Great for sending off quotes to clients. Great for ordering with suppliers and for work orders for sub-contractors. Buildxact is user friendly, does everything from quoting, job management, ordering, accounting to timesheets.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros TopBuilder is very helpful to keep all leads organized and is very user-friendly from the desktop. The second capture form used for guest registration is also extremely helpful, as some interfaces only allow for one form. The ability to send blast emails and newsletters is also very convenient. Very easy to use and set up reporting and other tools in the system. Very intuitive and simple. FANTASTIC support and guidance from the in-house tech team. Great resources for hands on DIY training or with assistance. The user interface is well designed. The customizable dashboard just got even better, remembering your settings with your login. The Leads list is easy to customize to present the info you need at a glance, and the sorting features allow for easy project identification. User management is efficient and permissions are easy to customize. KPI's are useful and can be created company wide or for specific users. Follow Up Plans and Notifications allow for easy task communication, reminders, and then they're all logged in the Job History for easy record keeping. All around, I've found TopBuilder to be an easy and effective tool to use. I like the ease of use and being able to add notes and track emails. The capabilities of managing the client throughout the preliminary sales process is very well set up. It is a fairly direct tool. However, the short cuts that we were taught, were very useful. I also love the screenshot tool, and used it while he was going through with our team. Cons There have been some backend errors in terms of receiving notifications and causing confusion at times. The mobile version of the software is also a little touchy, as you can to navigate a certain way in order for leads and changes to be saved accordingly. I do wish that there would be an application created that would make leads easily accessible without having to go through an internet browser on mobile. Nothing I don't like! It is really a great tool for sales people. TopBuilder works very hard to support their clients. I feel like I've received a lot of personal attention to make our user experience as positive as possible. That said, there are times where third-party integrations don't work perfectly. It doesn't happen often, TopBuilder provides support right away if they're able, and often it isn't even a TopBuilder problem per se, but technically this is my biggest con. Sometimes pushing leads to different third-party software doesn't work as smoothly as it could. Previously, there were some glitches but it seems they have been corrected! None so far. I feel it is nicely mapped out, and self explanatory.
