CivilTrace vs. SharpeSoft Estimator Comparison Chart

Pros

• 1. Upon completion of the training and easy to follow "how to's" I was able to maneuver in the software immediately. 2. The excellent friendly customer service with an immediate response for assistance. 3. The continued support beyond the initial purchase and training.
• We’ve been using SharpeSoft software at Taylor Jane Construction LP and couldn’t be more pleased. The platform is incredibly user-friendly — even team members with limited tech experience were able to learn the system quickly. The intuitive design and streamlined workflows make tasks like bidding, cost tracking, and document management seamless. What truly sets SharpeSoft apart, though, is their outstanding customer service. Their support team is always responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success. SharpeSoft has truly enhanced our operational efficiency across the board.
• The program is intuitive and easy to use. it uses common logic to accomplish the estimating process. It is easy to learn and has a simple flow to allow fast and seamless work flow. The program allows for as much detail you need for each bid item. The estimating process with SharpeSoft is much faster, easer and provides more detail than other programs I looked at, costing ten times more money. It is a great value!
• The Fact that you can pre build all materials then all you do is drag and drop into your line item is fantastic. Even better pre building those materials into full assemblies ie: all fire hydrant parts. Makes the process even faster. As well as building out labor and equipment crews for certain job tasks reduces many headaches. The ease of navigating the program blew me away. Most software's just send you in an over detailed spiral.
• Save a lot of time. Customizable to your needs. Be able to change things on the fly. Copy jobs to reuse similar job. The overall effectiveness of this program is truly amazing compared to the old method of a spreadsheet.
• Easy to use and understand. Estimator allows for faster data entry so more time can be spent by the estimator evaluating the project or even bidding an additional project.
• Easy to use, easy to set up tables and templates. I love the item master feature! It makes it super fast to insert items we use over and over or copy from other jobs. I like the bid page that has all of our open projects at a glance to see what's still pending, bids we've lost, or completed. Reports are accurate and easy to understand.
• Small or large Job, Small or large company, this estimating program makes all circumstances easy to bid.
• Ease, Options. Excellent, still lots to learn, would highly recommend, and I have recommended to other contractors in my industry
• The estimating software is built for estimators that truly understand productions . Canned crews and daily production schedules are awesome. Reports for crew are excellent . Support is exceptional. I've been on SharpeSoft since 2001. Have looked at different systems , but always have come to Sharpe as the best
