Sr Development Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Project Management" September 5, 2023 4.0 Pros Interface format for ease of use. Allowing photos to display on main page is a nice feature. Able to find documents easily is super helpful. Cons Sometimes, there are in consistent data and needing to manually push for calculation. Some hidden feature is hard to customize under List Settings. Will be great to have VPO able to show budget main page with an excel format thus all the edit can be done there but able to collapse the detail under the main category to show the summary budget view. Some features are abit redundant, aim for simplicity will be the best. Review Source VR Vincent R. Project Geologist Environmental Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "New User " August 29, 2023 5.0 For me it made my job easier. Tetra Tech is a large company wit about 30-35 subsidiaries. Each has their own methods of record keeping and documentation. I am in the ECI division, and they use SharePoint (SP). The SWW (formally BAS) division uses VPO. I tried to get my division to look into VPO but they were leery about the cost. I explained that VPO has a great support group and SP was more DIY. I have no idea how the business development divisions (proposals, etc.) use SP and they seem to like it for collaboration. Some of the accounting divisions are moving to Egnyte. But point being, for any division doing field construction work, the VPO, I think, is superior to SP. Pros Just a great way to do a daily report and keep track of photos, submittals, RFIs and FCRs Cons There were cliches. with trying to copy info from one report to the next. Most daily reports have the same info regarding labor, equipment, activities, etc. I know some of the sections would be synced but many times they failed to populate correctly. Sometimes the function would copy from some earlier report. Tech support indicated it may a be a problem with how the client is numbering the reports. Iam a ok boomer so it was not straight forward. Had to find work arounds in some cases. Review Source AL Andrew L. Capital Projects PM Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "OK Product but Underutilized by Department" August 29, 2023 3.0 Mostly used as a centralized File Cabinet. All stuff that I could just as easily do with SharePoint. Pros Sync ability to my OneDrive is useful. The Project Comments tracking for KPI's is OK. Cons We are not using to its fullest potential. I think this is partly because the product is not the most intuitive. As such people only use for what they are required to use it for. Review Source AST Aditya Sudarshan T. Project Coordinator Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "VPO - Very Perfect Oraganiser" August 29, 2023 5.0 Pros I really like all the features. Especially the speed. We can do what ever we want to in terms of Project Management. Cons I feel no Cons in VPO. Never felt disappointed with its ability. Review Source MY Marina Y. Office Engineer Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Valuable Cloud-Based Management Solution" November 14, 2019 4.0 VPO allows me to manage my projects in a streamlined way, providing numerous tools ranging from address books to document tracking to meeting minutes to invoice management. VPO even allows me to directly involve my clients and contractor - making VPO an efficient hub for all parties involved in a project. Being able to track submittals, RFIs, proposals, changes and much more on one simple interface takes the guesswork out of messy e-mail correspondence! With VPO I can efficiently manage my workflows, save time for both myself and my clients and seamlessly share project documents within my office. And, best of all, I can use VPO from home or anywhere with an internet connection! Pros VPO has the ability to track every piece of information that I come across during a project. VPO is like my super filing cabinet that keeps me accountable for documents I receive or review and can be an extremely important tool in fighting claims i.e. VPO effectively reduces many risks associated with document control in the construction management field. Cons VPO only gives back what you put in. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, having a better knowledge of technology generally defines how effective VPO will be. Those that are "tech-savvy" will have a much easier time adapting to the system than those who are not. Review Source DM David M. Director of Sales Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Estimating Management" August 30, 2023 5.0 Since we started using this platform in 2018 it has been a huge upgrade to how we were doing things. The VPO team has been responsive to our requests for support and many improvements have been made that help all departments for our management teams. Pros Our entire team can be kept up to date on projects coming up for bid as well as projects that we have already bid. Everyone uses the same pages/forms in centralized locations. Cons Our Bid List items sometimes require multiple efforts to create and update. Errors from VPO are frequent some days requiring extra/double work for simple data entry tasks. Review Source BN Brianna N. Construction Project Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome software for CM" December 7, 2020 5.0 Workflow of submittals, RFIs, and potential changes is much simpler through VPO and I like having all my documents and reports in a single place for everyone to access. Pros This product is the most bang for your buck as far as construction management tools go. It's inexpensive compared to others out there and the best part is it's totally customizable, so it's set up exactly how I want it for maximum ease of use and efficiency on my projects. As a CM group, we need particular workflows and modules for our work that a Contractor or a Developer wouldn't have. It is great to have exactly what I need and want. Other software programs don't have that option and cost a lot more. Also, the support crew is awesome, a shout out to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] because they have been so helpful every step of the way for each specific thing I wanted customized. "No" is never an answer from these guys. Cons The only thing that I could possibly complain about is that the setup process up front does take some time. The ability to customize is a double edged sword, because it's really great now that everything is specially tailored for the way I operate, but it did take several set up sessions over a few weeks to get it to that point. The nice thing is that now that I have my template set up how I like it, making new projects is as simple as clicking a few buttons and VPO will create a new project based on my custom project template.

We operate with a small core team that wears many hats at the same time throughout the course of every day. After years of trying to handling everything with a spreadsheet and Emails we realized that it was slow and certain death for all of us. we needed a system that houses all of the pertinent information, tracks issues, tasks, and change orders, actively notifies the team of changes and communicates clearly and concisely. Pros I feel that the strongest part of this application is its flexibility and customization. While we are all trying to do the same thing ( execute projects and make money), we all have a different way of getting that done. The bottom line is that success is measured not only in bottom line dollars, but is how hard it is to maintain all of the projects in house, keep a widely diverse and location-ally wide spread team on the same page every minute of every day. Cons Flexibility and Customization is a double edged sword. Identifying exactly what you want is difficult when you have never had a system like this. Also learning curve, its hard to learn to do things the easy way when you have had to do them the hard way for so long. the sooner you embrace the system the better it will all go. Review Source CR Chuck R. SCADA Manager Utilities Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Needed it in a hurry" October 26, 2020 5.0 So far we are very pleased with the VPO application. We are reviewing a quote to implement the product internally for our company. I have used other products in this category, but they are no where near as good as VPO. VPO technical support, although virtual, is very responsive. Pros Our construction projects were already in progress when our company was hired to perform construction management. Due to a severe time crunch we had to roll out the software as we were customizing it. This is not the normal approach. However, the VPO team was exceptional working with us to get it setup and fully functional in under 2 months. The application will transition to the client when we are finished. The learning curve was easier than expected for our users. The software is comprehensive and very customizable. Cons Haven't found anything I would complain about. I will admit that we did not implement all features of the platform. We decided not to use some of the financial features. Some minor issues we have come across are with Microsoft actually (e.g. spell check). Review Source JR Jeffrey R. Construction Supervisor Mining & Metals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's better than nothing . . ." December 3, 2020 4.0 Overall, this platform has helped our organization improve our document control and project management abilities. Pros Customer support for VPO is a plus. They are responsive and willing to meet our needs within the construct of the system. The platform serves as a single portal of project information, thus streamlining and improving the overall effectiveness of project management. Cons There are limitations to customizing the look and functionality of the system. Mobile interface has opportunity for improvement. Review Source ZB Zach B. Sr Project Delivery Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good at some things" November 7, 2019 4.0 My experience with VPO has been great. They always are looking to make things better and make sure we are happy as a customer Pros Having software that is customized for us as a company to track our projects with only needed information from our point of view is great! Cons User interface can be clunky and not inuitive Review Source SG Sharon G. Administrative Analyst Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "VPO is great--just not on Windows 10" September 12, 2017 3.0 I haven't gone through a project close-out using VPO and I'm curious how all of this documentation will be transmitted to us (the client) for our records. Pros It's great to be able to look up all sorts of project documents and not to have to rely on saving attachments from emails. The ball-in-court features are helpful, as are the notifications when something is posted or changes. Cons It doesn't work well on Windows 10. Sometimes directories of documents get truncated to just what will fit on a single page, leaving no way to access later documents. Many of the sorting features do not appear to work in Windows 10. Clicking on them doesn't do anything. While many aspects of VPO are intuitive, I did not find editing review comments to be at all obvious. Buttons were not where I expected them to be and someone had to show me where they were so I could add comments. Review Source DL Dennis L. Chief Estimator/Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Growing pains" October 29, 2019 4.0 Pros The charts and graphs give an overall good summary of current and past conditions. Cons Hard to navigate and jump back to a previous screen. Making a lot of changes freezes the system. Review Source JG JASVIN G. Apprentice Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cloud based Exclusive Project management software" July 28, 2018 4.0 Pros Access of Drawings and Project information for accountable time record and from remote workers to field supervisor, easy to upload work order, customization and track of it, making it life easy. Cons Reduce flexibility while using in Different OS, and system itself has repot-making feature which is some of the most redious process to follow. Review Source DR Daniel R. Estimator and Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "4/5" November 12, 2019 4.0 Really good. Pros Ease of navigation, speed of uploads, user friendly layout. Cons Not able to use special characters in folder titles. Review Source YF Yvonne F. Project engineer Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for construction projects" November 5, 2019 5.0 Pros All involved in a project can see the progression of the work, where there were problems, questions, etc. It is a very useful tool to use when many different entities are involved in the completion of a project. Cons Logging into it without having a "ball in your court" is a little tricky at times. Review Source AS Antonio S. Backend developer Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "fantástica para manejar proyectos tanto grandes como más sencilos" December 11, 2022 4.0 Pros Lo sólido y personalizable que es , desde luego es un punto a su favor, además de que la curva de aprendizaje no es muy intensa... en un par o tres de meses ya pillas cómo trabajar Cons La parte de configurar para adaptarlo a las necesidades de negocio puede ser un tanto pesada hasta que se logra configurar a gusto Review Source JM Jason M. Construction Project Manager Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for cost" October 18, 2019 4.0 I am generally happy with it and others can easily find and use through simple storage system. Pros I like the online organized storage system Cons It can sometimes be a little too simple for my needs. Review Source ML Michelle L. Archive Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Weekly user of VPO" October 29, 2019 4.0 Pros It's pretty user friendly and is still a work in progress. Cons Partial to box but I understand why the switch was made. Review Source JK Jared K. Construction Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quick VPO Review - Construction Management" November 8, 2019 5.0 Pros It's very flexible, and can be modified to your needs. I have briefly used it as a CM, and I feel like the program we have is very good for what we need it for. The support team is great and they work hard to solve the issue. Cons I haven't used it enough to have any cons yet. Review Source SR Stephen R. Project Controls Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New support ticket - very user-friendly and fast" October 29, 2019 5.0 VPO has proved to be a great team with my Project Controls team. We have developed some complicated tools that are now easy for others to use. Pros I liked that I could easily figure out the next step without confusion. Cons When it recognizes me, it should auto-fill all the data so I don't have to do it again and again. Review Source JH Justina H. Director, PMO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Partners!" December 31, 2020 4.0 Our team needed a platform that we could use to provide consistent delivery of capital projects AND the most important aspect was to track the budgets by integrating our SAP data into the tool. Although it has taken a little time to get our partners (GC's, Architects, Other Consultants) to understand the tool and how to use it - it has been worth the investment in time. We now have a tool that both our internal and external partners are familiar with which in turn makes collaboration on a project so much easier. The absolute bonus of using this product is the relationship we have built with the VPO team. They listen to our crazy ideas and find a way to turn them into a reality. Pros It was easy to set up and get started. Less than 2 months. Very few IT integration touchpoints, which is what helped to speed up the integration. Cons Refresh rate - this is really a Sharepoint issue that gets better with the Modern Page experience. Reason for choosing VPO We chose to work with this team because they could offer us the flexibility that we needed in a partner. When we told them we wanted to integrate SAP data into Sharepoint and they said of course they could do it - we were sold! This is a company that understands Project Management and Construction Management and what is required from them to make their customers successful. They always continue to innovate, which allows us to the do the same. Review Source BM Brian M. Construction Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Well done Simplex. Great tool to manage small to large projects. Implementation can be customized." December 9, 2020 5.0 Saving time by using VPO. The automation is great. The system automatically logs the submittals, RFI, Etc is taking the risk off of our teams to keep eyes out for the importance instead of emailing, downloading, logging and resending out these items. The risk of sitting on an important document. Pros The best construction management software I have used. It is customizable and offers time savings to log and automate the processes on a project. VPO uses SharePoint, a Microsoft Product as the strong backbone of this tool. The Simplex Company is very personable and great to work with. Cons The risk to start the process and to use it for the first month. The best reward was it works great.

Vice President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Visual" August 29, 2023 4.0 Pros It has all the features that we need for project management, ie submittals, purchase orders, change orders, etc Cons It's not easy on the eyes. Gray scale for the screen isn't as easy to read as black, just seems like the graphics on the screen could be better. We came from early 2000's version of Primavera Expedition, and the overall user interface of Expedition was better. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing VPO It's features most closely resembled Expedition. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Staff Engineer Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "VPO for Construction Management" August 29, 2023 4.0 Pros Easy to review and track submittals and other paperwork. Saves everything in one place where everyone can access it. Cons Not super intuitive. I had to learn my way around at first.
