My overall experience it great. It is an asset to our company, helping with scheduling, coordination, and production.
The only thing I can say negative is when writing a comment on my report, the font size automatically go’s to size 16 which I find rather small. I generally use size 30 which is more ledgible.
Easy to use, awesome interface and a awesome tool to track the progress and billing on any job site.
Errors in reading sheet titles for uploaded drawing sets.
The ability to have access to all the information supplied to the team, with the ease of access from mobile devices. Its almost better than having the actual paper version.
The most difficult thing to do in Fieldwire is to make handwritten notes or draw sketches on a plan using the pencil/drawing tool. The tool is extremely choppy.
Their customer service is friendly and helpful to deal with. If you are in construction management I would give them a try and see if you like it.
Fieldwire also has no text search function, which is another basic feature of any other software I've used.
We are familiar with the data entry, reporting and more advanced options now and it works great for us. Now that we are set up and have some custom reports, things are good.
I have never messed anything up so badly it could not be fixed. Never be scared of a computer; it only does what you tell it to do.
I love the ease of use, it is an easy system to learn. Once you learn it it is great.
Notes are lost, labor hours are lost. It has taken months to get the app working correctly, but still issues arise which cause payroll issues.
The overall experience has been a positive one. The benefit is the data is consistent and reliable.
It seems to have trouble expanding to manage an increasingly larger customer/project base. As our company has expanded, the system has struggled to keep up.
Viewpoint Spectrum is great for me because of the easy usage. I can log in, assign bills after approval and it only takes a few minutes.
The customer support is HORRIBLE. Long wait times, false information and a huge lack of knowledge in our updated program.
Marcellous W.: Hi, my name is Marcellous. I'm an HR and safety manager, and I rate Fieldwire five out of five. For more information, click below. Before we started using Fieldwire, we didn't have anything that we were using. It was more ball, pen and paper, trying to track daily production and whatnot, mostly text messages, and that's just not the way to do things. Some of the reasons why we chose Fieldwire, one was the price point on this, which was definitely in our budget. We liked it because we can scan in system prints or any kind of schematic showing the scope of work that we were working on. And then you can digitally track it, kind of like an as-built, so you can see where you're at and where you need to finish. And then, once the job is complete, you can still store it there or archive it there, if later on that you need to reference it for anything. That was another good tool to have. As far as getting Fieldwire up and running, it's pretty user-friendly. I mean, it's just a matter of a couple of clicks. You log in and you go to that particular project that you need to view, and there it is. If you need to create a new project, I mean, it's very, user-friendly. Click a button here, type in what you want to call that project, and off you go. Pretty user friendly. I would recommend. The mobility of this app is very good. In the field of construction that I'm in, when you're out in the field and you're looking at the scope of work for this particular project that you're working on, you can follow, stream right along on the app. As well as if you need to take specific photos of something that's on the project, say, a hazard or damage or something, you can store it right in the project on the app, and not on your phone or on your tablet, which is really good. If you need to reference any of those photos, you can go right to that particular project and they're there, and they'll stay there until you delete them. So, those are some of the features that I like, the reason why I would recommend someone to it.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
