It is a Windows application and it looks like one from a decade ago. Our younger PMs comment on it. Then they use it, because it answers questions nothing else answers.

Certified payroll stopped being a nightmare
Committed costs from purchase orders and subcontracts show up before the invoice arrives, so I see the overrun coming instead of discovering it at closeout. We have changed how we bid because of what it showed us.

Retainage tracked on receivables and payables both. Our old system handled one side and we chased the other in a spreadsheet that was always wrong.

The estimating module is powerful and it needs weeks of setup with your own assemblies and costs before it earns its place. We nearly abandoned it in month two. A year in it is the thing we would not give up.

The field experience does not exist
Support quality varies enormously depending on who you get and whether you go through Sage or the partner. One call solved a payroll issue in ten minutes. The next took nine days for something simpler. That inconsistency is hard to plan around.

Implementation was three months and genuinely hard. Our data was a mess and the chart of accounts had to be rebuilt for job costing. Worth it, and nobody told us how much of the work would be ours.

Steeper than we were told
Our superintendents cannot use it on site in any meaningful way, so daily logs and time still come in on paper and get keyed by the office. That is a whole job that should not exist in 2026 and it is the single biggest gap.
