Right-Suite Universal vs. WorkflowMax

Right-suite Universal work's great for new construction projects as well as block loads for retro installations. We do not use the proposal features, but it does work well. You can not draw on top of existing PDF plans, which would be very helpful. Overall it’s an excellent software for mechanical contractors. Highly recommend it

WorkflowMax is a good solution for the architecture and design profession in that it allows for multiple ways to track a project, apply time to a project, and invoice against a project. The ability to do staffing forecasting and future planning fills a need that most firms in this profession require.

• Great for managing teams which are not in one spot. Awesome for small or growing businesses with employees who might work from home.
• Really good for teams to keep up with where a project is at against the time left to achieve the goal
• Great for keeping all the information for each project in one spot.

Incentivized

• Design looks outdated
• Does have a learning curve

• Integration with inventory - there are a lot of companies out there which provide a service which includes selling items either purchased or held in stock or "kitted"
• User permission levels need to be more flexible and ideally closely tied to Xero
• Two way integration with Xero - ability to import invoices to specific jobs
• Ability to save pdfs to purchase orders, invoices (like Xero)

Decide how to breakdown your ongoing jobs - are they monthly recurring or annual broken into chunks? What are you going to give clients i.e. how will your proposals and invoices look?

Right-Suite Universal is the leading software, so there are really no others for what it does. Coolclac also does load calculations but does not have any plan design features. Coolcalc works well but is not as feature-rich as Right-Suite Universal.

I'm not sure if it was by Ascentis or not, and it may have been an old version, but we used a program called Timekeeper. It was very outdated, difficult to use, and didn't provide easily producible reports. WorkflowMax is infinitely better to use for our business.

Incentivized

• Speeds up load calculations
• Faster than hand drawing

• The time the company saves by using employees efficiently on each project makes the purchase of this software worthwhile. You can clearly verify how much time the staff spends on each project, with each client, and you can compare whether it is profitable or not the hours invested, thus increasing your profits.
