It all came down to the old guys' lack of tech savvy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were looking for an easy way to manage tasks, contracts and jobs--overall project management. We wanted a program that would keep all parties in the loop of a project with the click of a few buttons. We did some research on a few programs and Certa was one of the programs we looked into. We knew Certa could do a great job at helping our company get organized from start to finish of a project, that's why we took a closer look into using it.

Pros

  • It made it easy to onboard suppliers
  • Internal and external team communication
  • Fully customizable

Cons

  • Because it is fully customizable, we felt like there were too many options. Having more of a basic template for like-minded industries would be helpful.
  • Maneuvering around the app was not as easy as I'd hoped. We have several employees that aren't tech savvy, and it was hard getting them to use the app.

Most Important Features

  • Dashboard
  • Vendor directory
  • The workflow and getting the right people on the next step of the project

Return on Investment

  • The contract software was great. We were spending money each month to have certified contracts signed and drawn up. Certa did a great job at including this feature, saving money overall.
  • Once all documents and contacts are inputted, so much time and effort would be saved. We would no longer need to call, email or follow up with each other to verify that tasks were completed.
