Sr. Accountant in Finance and Accounting at Lee Kennedy Company (51-200 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All areas of business from accounting to project management to payroll. We replaced Viewpoint accounting with CMiC Construction Platform and much of what we were doing in Procore from a project management standpoint. We are in the process of getting rid of Procore entirely for CMiC Construction Platform. CMiC Construction Platform is a bit more powerfull in terms of reporting and meets out needs of a "one stop shop".

Pros

  • Custom Reporting
  • Access from anywhere
  • Journal Entries
  • Change Order management

Cons

  • Speed
  • In my opinion, converting is difficult to put it lightly
  • In my opinion, submitting cases can be slow to get solutions to issues that arise

Return on Investment

  • Significantly cheaper then Procore with more features
  • Improved reporting flexibility
  • Easy to learn
  • good import and export funcitonality
