From project evaluation, takeoff and estimating, to construction and closeout, contractors use STACK’s cloud-based software to help run their businesses and maximize profits.
FieldAware has been an extremely stable and reliable platform for us, functioning without fail and providing good standard features. But I am particularly happy with the ability to customize fields.
This has gone from bad to worse. Nobody returning phone calls, emails etc. I have even called the Sales dept and can't get through to them either.
It's easy to learn with many advanced features that will help us as we continue to grow. The best thing about FieldAware though is how it continually evolves, in many ways based on our suggestions.
The inability to get Field Locate to SYNCH with Quick Books is a major disappointment for our administrative staff and management. This very feature was a major part of my purchasing decision.
The training time queit very low. It helps to reduce paper, It is a good Scheduling program that help to expedite tech on-site field visits and increase accountability on job sites.
Each time a revision is release they create more problems due to lack of testing before releasing the update.
However, we only used it to dispatch work to our mobile techs and that part worked seamless. The techs loved the simplicity of the software.
My Customer Service rep spent hours on the phone with their techs and none of the problems were ever fixed. In fact, every time they would try to "fix" something, it got worse.
Reports are powerful and STACK catalog for assemblies and items are very useful. Quick and responsive customer service, free training webinars, improvement updates are included in your subscription.
It is so irritating having to use the mouse for the essential functions.
I love being able to load the Blueprints and navigate the Blueprints using this software. The ease of use makes it extremely easy to sort pages, highlight layouts and design from the pages.
The only Con is you are charged by user. If you have a single account Only one person can be logged on.
We are super pleased with STACK and the staff members. Initially, learning a new product can be challenging but the training team assured our success with its elaborate and precise training.
Sometimes we run into problems loading blueprints when more than one user is on the same account.
We've used Stack for almost two years. The product itself is amazing and the customer support is equally amazing.
Pricing structure is little bit restrictive. We do not need most of the feature that we currently pay for, but there is no option not to pay for the whole package.
Quentin O.: Okay. My name is Quentin. My job title is Estimator/Senior QS. We have around 30 employees, and my rating for STACK is four out of five. We use it for a combination of things, but primarily we use it for measuring and estimation purposes. So if we're tendering jobs, if we're pricing variations, if we're monitoring changes. I find it quite useful for construction changes during the course of construction where the architects may or may not bubble changes and we can put the overlays in place, and things that have changed distinctly will then flash red. So it's very useful for that as well. Identifying changes in the full construction set, because again, sometimes the architects will just issue a full construction set and not tell you that there are changes from the tender set, so then we can price and pick up those changes accordingly. I like the fact that it's browser-based, so it's web-based. I can use it from anywhere in the world. That is probably the single most useful feature that it has, or the way it's been constructed. Probably from my point of view, the single feature I dislike the most is that it's American-based and that everything defaults to imperial rather than metric. It's easy to overcome, or relatively easy to overcome, but everything does default to imperial rather than metric. And if you haven't got your settings right, then every time you upload things, then it will default. That's probably my single biggest pet hate.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
