STRUCTURE Blue Reviews
Pros
The customer service is awesome, I love that they can log in and help you solve issues that cannot be fixed over the phone.
Their training and support is second to none, and they are available when you need them. The best part is that they will help you until you are completely satisfied.
They were with me every step of the way supportive and inquisitive; making sure I was making the best use of their product.
I always get the answers and help I need and it is always from a friendly and courteous person, eager to help. I truly enjoy the C/F Data staff.
Cons
Some reports are confusing to read. Customer statements can be hard to understand what you are looking at.
When suspending the order for parts, the signature of the client erases. If an update goes wrong, can't get out of it and continue the day.
The past few years have been tough on General Contractors, and in my position I get to see why a lot of the companies in this business fail.
We purchased Structure almost 20 years ago, and have grown with their ever-changing software upgrades. Change is sometimes hard in an organization, as it tends to disrupt the ordinary flow.
"USING STRUCTURE MY SKIN IS CLEAR & MY CROPS ARE FLOURISHING. WELL NOT REALLY, BUT MY BUSINESS IS! "
Overall: Streamlining our office processes, time saved by having less transactions without info that have to be researched before being processed, the document management has allowed sales people to easily access documents and complete their own project research rather than reaching out to AP to get invoice copies and such.
Pros: We are a commercial flooring dealer and use job costing for all of our projects. We use Structure for sales/estimating which then feeds into placing orders to vendors and receiving the AP invoices for those vendors, which is super slick and cuts down on a lot of inter-office research on who ordered what and how much for where, it's all right there matching and lining up from the bid process to the order process to the AP process. On the AR side there are multiple options for creating your AR documentation depending on the types of projects and customers, we use several different formats and it has been working out nicely. Being able to create the shedules of value for AIA applications straight from the bid is a huge time saver!
Cons: My only con, is not really a con, it's just warning that if you make a mistake you have to actually follow all the steps to undo it. Void your item re-enter it re-process it. No QuickBooks style open it up and edit it and it was never a mistake. Which was hard for me to get used to at first, but has paid off when I look something up and wonder why it's different, I have a transaction trail to follow of when I did what.
"Structure Blue review from a user with a non-accounting background"
Overall: I have worked with Structure as a "bookkeeper", a project manager, and an IT support staff. I have had the pleasure of seeing many aspects of this software and work with many support staff members who have always been very helpful.
Pros: I most like the simplicity of Structure Blue. The simplicity of the program makes learning the system very simple for those without an accounting background. I am a designer by trade, but have spent the last couple years learning book keeping from our CFO so I can step into his role when he retires. I believe this task may have been much more complicated with a more sophisticated software. While simplistic, it is still very much customizable with the support of the CF Data team.
Cons: My biggest con may also be what I like most about the software so this one is tough. There are many tasks that take multiple steps to complete when I believe they could be performed much faster. However, the trade off is that making mistakes is much more difficult.
"Customer service is excellent, but there are some hiccups with flow"
Overall: Streamlined work functions
Pros: It does keep us more organized and is more streamlined than our prior system of each person having an excel worksheet.
Cons: The warehouse inventory system is not user friendly, particularly when our warehouse employee struggles with computer skills
"Great overall, user-friendly!"
Overall: CF/Data software run almost our entire business and it is great to have everything all in one place and great customer support whenever needed!
Pros: The customer service is awesome, I love that they can log in and help you solve issues that cannot be fixed over the phone. I also enjoy the efforts in moving towards making our business more paperless every day.
Cons: It took awhile to learn and get the hang of things especially when you have to self-teach the software but the customer support is great at getting in touch when you have questions.
"Great for construction!"
Overall: All our processes from accounting to HR to service in one portal!
Pros: I like the simplicity of the program, its very intuitive. I do not have to read through a book to get what goes where, I can easily understand the flow from screen to screen. And C/F data's willingness to customize is the best!
Cons: In order to keep it simple sometimes features are missing but the essentials are there and with every update we get more and more features.
