Based on other buyer's searches, these are the products that could be a good fit for you.
A product’s price can vary greatly based on features needed, support or training required, and customization requests. Some vendors want a chance to talk to you before being ruled out for pricing. When you find a product that fits your needs, you should talk to the vendor to figure out what they can offer.
Reviewers find that GCPay significantly streamlines the payment process for subcontractors, reducing redundant paperwork and saving time. They appreciate the organized approach to reviewing pay applications and collaborating with subcontractors, which enhances project financial management. Additionally, users value the ability to enforce billing according to the schedule of values, ensuring that payments are processed accurately and efficiently.
Users like that GCPay allows for tracking waivers and attaching them to pay applications, which simplifies the process of managing lien waivers. They find the digital signatures and instantaneous access to custom waivers particularly beneficial for maintaining compliance and efficiency. However, users express frustration with the inability to combine documents easily, the cumbersome waiver review process, and the lack of customization for transmittal cover sheets, which complicates their workflow.
Pros
It has been a great experience from the beginning the support team is amazing and very helpful.
I think it is a great tool and it has saved us a lot of time as well as paper. It is nice not to have to print everything and know at any given time I can log in and find important documentation.
Great , Customer Service is EXCELLENT and supports with help quickly and effectively.
The thing I like most about this software is the ease of utilizing it and its ability to have our subcontractors use it as well. It also integrates really well with our accounting software Vista.
Cons
Our subcontractors seem to have a bit of trouble on their end, typically with compliance documents.
It's frustrating how it automatically approves negative CO's.
The inability for companies to make changes to their login with out calling GC PAY is a little frustrating.
There are some integration issues with SAGE and things don't always work correctly. Apparently many subcontractors also hate working with the software while others don't mind it.
"Easy option for project billing"
Overall: GCPay allows out accounting and project management teams to work together when it comes to billing. It is clear to see problems that have popped up and to integrate it with our accounting programs.
Pros: GC Pay allows subcontractors to bill individually for each project with ease. It is clear to use and helps keep the digital paper trail with easy to read audit reports.
Cons: The inability for companies to make changes to their login with out calling GC PAY is a little frustrating.
"Michael Lyon Review"
Overall: I really do enjoy it. I've used both Procore and Textura and neither of those softwares are as efficient. I think GCPay has several simple, but very handle features that make me like it the most. It can be a bit expensive for smaller projects, but is a minor cost for a larger project. Seperating/breaking down pricing by project size/dollar value could be helpful for the smaller projects.
Pros: The user interface is extremely easy, allowing subcontractor to have few issues in submitting pay apps, creating SOV's, etc. Easy to talk through things with the phone. I also really like the ability to make it a requirement of attaching a lien waiver and having current insurance before they can submit a pay application.
Cons: I'd really like if the monthly cost bundle report could be separated/organized by division and not alphabetically. The alphabetical is never in order for the bank/owner compiled report, so each month I have to manually put them in order. An option to say what division/spec section the pay application is for would easily allow these reports to come across in the order they are needed. Needs better integration with Viewpoint Vista, specifically for pay application submission, as right now we still have to manually input sub pay apps into our accounting softwares which actually cut the checks.
"Streamline Your Subcontractor Paperwork"
Overall: Great! Easy to use and Support is awesome.
Pros: GC Pay is easy to use. It organizes all the pay apps and waivers in one location. It gives the subcontractors more involvement and knowledge of their payment and waiver statuses and reduces redundancy for the GC. It also leads the sub through the application submission process.
Cons: It doesn't prefill the Subcontractor Affidavit.
"Great Customer Service"
Overall: Our accounting team has pay apps taken off their plate which allows them to be more efficient in others areas of their work.
Pros: Customer service has been terrific in handling questions/fixes.
Cons: Integration with our current software provides challenges. Although it relieves AP from the duty, it adds extra work for the PA's (syncing, receiving compliance, adding subs, extra email notifications, checking waivers, etc. One of the challenges that holds us back is we cant add a subcontract/subcontractor until they create an account. This is not a smooth process.
"Best Option for Subcontractors"
Overall: Overall, no software can beat GCPay love lien waivers & shifting the burden to our subs
Pros: Automation, risk mitigation and bet of all lien waivers hassle free
Cons: We are looking for subs to enter change orders and we approve them per the project approval hierarchy
