Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contractor Foreman as a service ticket portal. We upload pictures before and after of completed work orders and invoices. It's a tracking system for us.
The issue for us is nothing is customizable and it's difficult to manipulate the stunted system to do what we need. Additionally upgrades are only made IF several other customers use the system in a similar way and want the same type of change or update.

Pros

Stores Customer Data
Stores Vendor Data
Time Card Tracking for our techs in the field

Cons

Customizations
Add on's to sub categories
Remove mandatory fields in PO Projects

Return on Investment

It's more convenient than an excel spreadsheet
We can capture photos during projects and service tickets
We can add data to the customers page for necessary additional data

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a residential renovator. We use the software to administer many different areas of our company. Being a small business, it is nice to find an affordable option that is so functional. This software package flows well and enables you to have one software that is integrated to manage almost all aspects of the business.

Pros

The service is top notch. You would be hard pressed to find other options with this kind of service.
The ability to have your project flow through the modules makes it a breeze to use.
Being able to track time as well is a key feature.

Cons

Some modules don't have quite the functionality of more expensive competitors. Selections was one area we struggled with.
A more interactive estimate to project accepting to invoice stage would have been a welcome upgrade.
The on site management tools were a bit cumbersome and almost too complicated to make effective use of.

Return on Investment

It enabled us to provide our clients with a much higher level of service and attention to detail without hiring an extra person.
It was also working in the background even if you were on site. This allowed you to multi-task and get more projects rolling.
As we grew, Contractor Foreman enabled us to track everything we needed to track.
