“Additionally, the security framework is top-tier; having granular, role-based permissions gives absolute peace of mind when managing sensitive compliance records, multi-state licensing data, and corporate financials. Because it centralizes so much of the back-office workload and database management into one enterprise system, it delivers excellent value for money for a commercial general contractor.“

### "Viewpoint Spectrum works well for our business"

June 23, 2023

5.0

I highly recommend Viewpoint Spectrum to construction professionals seeking a reliable and efficient software solution. We use it daily for work orders and then billing customers.

Pros

The software also offers comprehensive project cost management, including budgeting, change order tracking, and subcontractor management, ensuring that all aspects of a project are carefully monitored and controlled.

Cons

It does not integrate well into our other software, ServiceTrade, which runs our inspection and service department.

### "Payroll/HR views"

April 2, 2026

4.0

I have used Spectrum in a previous job (back in 2007) and the company I have been with is now almost live. I feel quite a few good changes have been made since then.

Pros

Being on the HR/Payroll side, we like the reporting ability for the ever changing requirements with all the different types of construction jobs.

Cons

We wish there was more on the HR side. With it not having a robust HR side, we wish that it was easier to collect information to make the connection to Arcoro and/or a two way API.

### "Don't do it!!!!"

June 24, 2025

1.0

The overall experience was less than stellar. Customer support reps are generally less than knowledgeable, as a whole they give you the impression that they could care less (including sales and other support teams) and other than the job costing, most of the modules are insufficient, daily use is clunky, and reporting is bad.

Pros

The job costing seemed relatively robust but is overshadowed by so many other areas that are lacking in performance

Cons

PR, reporting, AP and especially the customer service. When I took the lead role in accounting, this software was already in place but it is highly insufficient for our needs. It is almost impossible to find transactions (both sides of a journal entry, for example) unless you made the entry and already know how it was coded. Customer service is a shot in the dark, to put it mildly and many reps on many occasions indicated to fix a particular issue, a one sided entry would be needed. Anyone in accounting knows that ais a horrifying answer to get. Once we left, we lost access in 30 days and the backup files are even harder to use (you have to search SQL tables) to try to find anything.

Training was quick and we picked up on it very quick. Our trainer \[sensitive content hidden\] was wonderful, however it was very expensive which was an added cost I wasn't expecting.

Pros

Payroll has been helpful and useful to our company. We were able to bring this service in house to process ourselves. I like how Accounts payable prints the draw requests.

Cons

I wish credit cards and banks connected live to Spectrum as they do in Quickbooks. It seems like that is a great way to see all the money in real time that goes in and out.

### "Viewpoint Spectrum is very functional"

July 13, 2023

4.0

We are still implementing it but it seems to have all the features we need to operate more efficiently and to move off of some of our spreadsheets.

Pros

I love that we can have project managers approve invoices digitally, easier to keep track of what's out there. I also love that subcontracts and bid schedules can be uploaded to Spectrum and you can bill off of them, makes it easier to make sure pricing is accurate.

Cons

I don't love how difficult it is to move costs to different jobs. Maybe I just need to play around with it more, but I wish it was easier to adjust.

### "Worst Construction ERP Implementation EVER"

December 21, 2024

1.0

Worst ERP company for contractors would not recommend at all.

Pros

It appeared during sales to be a turnkey solution for our construction company going to a robust ERP platform.

Cons

The implementation was a scam. We never had good support, we always had to email to track them down and schedule out implementation, they charge insane hourly costs, wont provide you a road map or let you record. Over $40k spent and we were never able to go live and tried to cancel now they won’t respond.

### "More than just an ERP"

August 1, 2023

5.0

Overall has been very good, far more information available through reports than our previous system. much more expansive in data that can be collected and processed. You can see how projects are doing on a daily basis. Transition from the previous system excellent. Overall very pleased

Pros

It's a robust system that captures a lot of data in a timely fashion. It can be integrated in real time from sites, although we haven't progressed to that level yet, it is our intention to do so in the future. integrates all accounting functions as well as Payroll, PO's and equipment tracking. AP invoice scanning helps eliminate paper. Built in reports are very good and lots of customizable options as well

Cons

Mostly geared for a General contractor, so some of the functions and reporting takes some work arounds as a subcontract. Our time capture for payroll is with another system which needed some customizing to integrate. Not always intuitive in its structure (voiding cheques in AP or payroll especially a direct deposit). limits to selecting multiple items ie.A/P vendors can only select up to 4 at a time unless you make grouping s or select all.

### "Pros and Cons"

July 24, 2023

4.0

Rough beginning, but we learned a lot and still are learning. It is a detailed system that requires dedication to learn and to use. If you don't plan to spend enough time and resources to roll it out, it's going to be a difficult time. However, the more we learned about it the more we liked it. It will do what you tell it, but you have to learn how to do that. Definitely challenging, but stay the course and commit to constant improvement and you will be successful.

Pros

Spectrum really does a great job tracking job costs, and when the system is used properly does anything we need it to and then some in relation to jobs. Helps us organize everything and has some great job cost reports built in. Also appreciate the ease of importing data.

Cons

Crystal reports are not ideal, no easy flexibility with report editing, bare minimum financial reports included, clunky processes to post transactions to GL and antiquated feeling user interface. And it's a small thing, but there are several fields that are way too short. Probably a fourth of our vendors have names that don't completely print on the checks. Also don't like the CONSTANT push to purchase add on products.

### "Least User Friendly Software I've Ever Encountered"

February 16, 2024

1.0

Pros

Nothing, honestly. I have to use this piece of shite software 40 hours a week and it never fails to fill me with absolute rage.

Cons

I dislike just about everything about Viewpoint Spectrum. It seems like it was created in 1996 and hasn't been updated since. It lacks the most basic of features, such as MULTI SELECT. All processes take 5x as long as they should. They have a suggestions site, where they continuously mark suggestions that do NOT exist as "already exists". If they have a UX team, they must not be paying them enough. They seem to have a high turnover and do not attract talented developers.

Overall I like Spectrums ability to integrate with other software and ability to import or export data with the use of SDX and API.

Pros

Spectrum has grown in its ability to be integrated with other software to increase its functionality.

Cons

There are a lot of steps to complete a transaction. Also Spectrum user interface has not changed since Windows 95. There are lots of little items that are still there from its legacy days.

That you can't search a job by it's title, if you can't remember the job number. The migration from 3rd party (we use Bid2Win) doesn't migrate smoothly. You have to manually go in and change LS to EA, etc.

### "Viewpoint Spectrum Assessment"

August 18, 2022

4.0

Overall we have very few problems and almost no downtime. Our employees can access the system from any internet connection which has saved us during hurricanes, covid and such. We have never missed a payroll even during those times. It is easy to use and our employees are able to get their jobs done as needed relatively efficiently. It has open APis for pushing data in and pulling data out. They are focused on improvements to make the overall job of construction from the field, PM level and back office better and run more efficiently.

Pros

The product is mostly user friendly so it's easy to train new employees. single entry that feeds all the pertinent modules is key. The linking of the documents to transactions and then being able to see them throughout the modules is awesome and has saved time in the support functions to not have to pull copies of documents for others that need to see it. Also, the menu that allows you to jump from one thing to another on the same project without having to reselect the project number in a new screen is great. The ability to setup template views for inquiry screens and reports is nice as well for having consistency throughout the company. They are also very end user oriented. There are advisory boards to discuss possible changes to the system that allow users to give feedback. They have a campaign now where they are having meetings with clients to discuss new programming possibilities and get feedback on proposed look and feel. They initiate surveys, have an enhancement request panel and have a on-line network environment where customers can pose questions to others using the product for help and ideas.

Cons

There is no option to post in detail to the GL in some of the modules and some transactions, even though coded to a job, do not show the job number on the GL side. The job cost transactions do not show the GL codes on the transactions. Therefore, it can be difficult at time to reconcile things between the job and GL. Also, even though the JC transactions pushes to the T&M module, there is not a direct unique link between the two so trying to create reports that have the cost and revenue associated can be tricky and is not always exact. There is an issue between how committed cost is handle for the purchase orders versus the subcontracts that can cause you reports to be out so you really have to understand this when viewing the job cost reports. Would like the ability for security to be able to have some more granular controls on what users are allowed to see. For example, you may want to allow the purchasing agent to run job cost reports to check non-labor activity but you do not want them to be able to see any labor costs. You can't do that right now. So then you have to create custom reports to separate the cost types and give them access to only those custom reports. Overall security needs to be revamped to a more true role based model. It can be challenging in setting users for rights within a module and keep segregation of duties in place.

Reason for choosing Viewpoint Spectrum

The customer focused environment. The document tracking within the system. The ability to handle our needs overall.

### "Spectrum has good points and some not so good."

July 7, 2023

4.0

Some functionality has really improved over the years yet some has remained stagnant. We have 2 sisters companies in the construction business and 1 sister company that is a steel pipe distributor. Making construction software work for a steel pipe business has been a challenge. We have made it work, but would like to see more focus on OP and IC modules. The GL module needs some critical improvements, too.

Pros

All one package makes workflow easier. We could get this from any number of alternate software providers. What we like about Spectrum is the depth of it's functionality/capabilities.

Cons

Some of the modules are very antiquated and need serious updates.

2.5

Our business has two divisions - Commercial Construction and Service Maintenance. We’re based in Pennsylvania and have been operating for about 28 years. The computer system we had been using prior to switching to Dexter + Chaney was outdated for our uses. After carefully reviewing all the options, Dexter + Chaney was high on our list. One of the main functions we were looking for was something that would tie together both divisions of our company. We liked what the sales team told us about the software, and it seemed to better suit our needs than the system we had. We were told it had modules that would make it possible to tie in both of our divisions, with great customer support, reports that were easy to use, and to meet all of our needs, etc. We started with Dexter + Chaney in 2005 (about 8 years ago), having high hopes that Spectrum (or Forefront as it was called at that point) could perform all the functions we were looking for, and more. We spent several months preparing for the change over/familiarizing ourselves with the screens/and inputting information. Every Vendor/Employee/Client had to be reentered manually, which was very monotonous, but relatively simple. Some of the modules were similar to the program we had used prior, but others were more difficult and required calls to support. It took us several months to feel comfortable using Forefront, and probably a year+ until we felt like we really had a decent grasp of it. Since we’re a smaller business, we have the ability to notice problems with reports/programs more easily than a company with hundreds of employees. After we went live with Dexter Chaney we came across several issues, but attributed most of them to new user errors. As we have become more and more confidence with Spectrum, we have found several major bugs in the system that were unknown to Dexter + Chaney, or they had thought were resolved. On a few of these occasions, we had to really push for them to investigate and resolve the issues. One of the biggest problems we’ve seen is that the new Versions seem to be released before they are thoroughly checked, and there are repeat problems. We have received some good, and some lacking, customer support. There are several really knowledgeable reps who have helped us through our problems quickly. We have also spoken to other reps and management in support that have been very difficult, ignoring our concerns and refusing to listen or respond to our calls/emails. At one point, we were not getting updates on a problem and logged onto their website to see if anything new was posted for our issue. We didn’t get an answer, but instead found a string of emails they had accidentally posted, making it clear that our problem wasn’t being taken seriously on their end. Something as simple as calling in to support has proven to be a hassle since Dexter + Chaney only allows 3 people on the contact list, and we have 6 regular users. Some of the programs cannot be used to the full extent of what they are shown. Example: Payroll is set up so you can do multiple check sequences in one pay run for an employee. The problem is that it’s not set up to calculate the correct taxes/deductions if you do this. If they are paying a tax/deduction that reaches the limit in the first check, it will also be taken out of the second check, and there’s a possibility for the reports to be wrong. We purchased the Infolink module a few years ago to help us write reports in Excel using Database Query. We were told by the sales team that it would be easy to use and we could create reports with the exact information we wanted. The training we received on it barely covered the basics. It’s far from easy to use, and many of the reports that come up cannot pull the requested information. Overall, I would say Dexter Chaney is average at best. We are able to use Spectrum for most functions, but not as easily as we were promised. Support in general is lacking, as is our confidence in the product any time there is an upgrade. It’s not as good as we were led to believe.

August 22, 2022

We are improving our use of the software's many features and use Spectrum's reports to track, report, and monitor financial and job performance on a weekly basis.

Pros

As a construction accounting software package Spectrum offers solutions for most of our essentials. With help from a knowledgeable consultant we've been able to to modify or create the reports we need.

Cons

Timesheet entry is missing mobile components and approval processes offered by third parties. Project and document management is not as robust as Procore. Scheduling for labor, tools, and equipment and comparing against estimate, budget, and actual doesn't functionally exist. We are spending a lot of time, money, and effort to research, source, purchase, and integrate third party applications.

I used Spectrum at least 15 years. The best major financial and construction software. One thing I truly like is the Tech Support. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is the best one. Besides the question I asked, he can always be proactive to provide me more info on the related items I need to know. Others are good, too.

Pros

User friendly. Experienced Tech Support. Listening to the customers' needs, and always growing with better function. I used Oracle before. It's very hard to use. No common sense and always have to check for error. Although we can't customize a software like Oracle JD Edwards, but it's actually better. As a user, we don't need to "design" a software. We only need a software that works and easier to use.

Cons

My only complain is still the Time off Bank. The effective date should be the Work Period End Date, not the Pay Date.

Visibility of job cost and the detailed reports have helped to simplify the reporting. Tracking contracts and change requests are important to us and are easy to do. Payroll processing time has been reduced and AP is so much better now that the invoices are routed. Automated purchase orders are now possible too.

Pros

The job costing module is valuable to us for tracking the real time cost of our projects. I like the interactive menus that change depending on what features are being used. We are able to have custom reports designed.

Cons

I have no comments to add here, its a good program.

Reason for choosing Viewpoint Spectrum

I'd implemented Spectrum at a previous job and it was an easy decision.
