Accounting Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very user friendly! They are always trying to improve their product!" April 4, 2018 4.0 We are able to run our business more efficiently. We can check our profitability per job, division, and overall company quickly. Pros I like being able to scan in vendor invoices so that others can see the invoice without having to dig thru a filing cabinet. Dispatch board lets you see all techs, you can open the work order from the dispatch board and issue POs. This software is very easy to learn and use! The customer service is awesome - quick response! They are always making improvements and updates! Cons Some reports are confusing to read. Customer statements can be hard to understand what you are looking at. Review Source EJ Ernie J. CFO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use great support" April 6, 2018 5.0 Cost reporting in a real time Pros Bent Electrical have been using STRUCTURE FOR 25+ years, I have been a user for 13 years. Bent use the AP, AR, GL, Purchase Orders, Payroll, Work Orders, and Project Management modules, all the modules integrate seamlessly. Their support is outstanding and they listen to their users. I strongly recommend STRUCTURE to any size construction company. Cons As with most software they are not specifically written for Bent Electrical. STRUCTURE deals with by working with you to ensure you are getting the most out of their program. Review Source CC Carrie C. Assistant Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There seems to be functionalities that do not sync together...example in the jmt/qmi. " April 10, 2018 3.0 Ease of creating PO's for vendors. Pros The support team is prompt and very helpful.Team is always willing to help or investigate a problem. Team is very knowledgeable! Cons The submittal module could use some enhancing. I think it would help to be able to add multiple lines at a time to the document and edit them. This has improved over the past, but there is still room for improvement. The warehouse/stock/receiving material seems to be confusing. Review Source PR Patty R. Office Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "we use structure blue for our daily work order entry, billing, accounts payable and dispatching. " April 4, 2018 4.0 Pros Scanning invoices to Vouchers is great. Being able to print service reports is a great feature. Tech link is a great function and has added more flexibility and timely billing to our system. Online service report shows work order number in subject line. Can use multi-sessions at one time - eliminates toggling back and forth saving time and efficiency. Cons Uploading a picture to work order would be a huge stride. WOE history is limited. 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. Dispatch board can not move an entire column to next day. Review Source MG Mike G. Used the software for: ### "" July 18, 2011 4.5 We initially switched to STRUCTURE from QuickBooks in 1998, after we grew from 13 to 25 electricians and wanted better cost controls on our projects. STRUCTURE was easy to implement and had great technical support. We changed to another solution in 2004 because we thought we could get better reporting features using more up-to-date technology and database. Our experience with the software was not good from an efficiency, productivity or financial standpoint, so we switched back to STRUCTURE in 2008. The Work Order module with the Dispatch Board makes it easy to schedule and run our service department. The Project Management module, coupled with the Workforce Scheduling module, makes it easy to track projects and schedule 100+ electricians. We use cost codes and budgets to track our costs and estimate so we can provide feedback to the foreman throughout the job and the estimators at the end of the job. We run our own weekly payroll with direct deposit, benefits and multiple deductions. The accounting modules put it all together so we don't need multiple software programs for the different aspects of our business. The best part is technical support. We get to talk to the people that wrote the software. We get input into new developments, straight answers to issues that we are having, and instantaneous resolution on many problems. The down side, and there is always a down side, is that the program looks and feels a little clunky and outdated. The older people like it but the younger people and the more technically savvy feel a bit disappointed - even though it works great! This is totally an appearance issue and not a technical one.

Accounting Assistant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Structure-Opinion" April 8, 2019 5.0 We don't use a lot of the different programs that structure offers. I can only give my opinion on the basic software. Saying that I feel it is a good program for what it can do. Pros Self explanatory as long as your understand accounting Cons Not flexible enough when making corrections Review Source AL Ashley L. Bid Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very easy and I enjoy how secure this soft ware is. " May 9, 2018 5.0 Pros I like the security about this software. It makes me feel secure knowing everyone has their own account which lets you know who has edited a certain job. I also enjoy the software letting me know how many attempts of logins. Cons what I like least about this software is that sometimes it will freeze or exit out of my screen. Not all of the time. there inst really anything I dislike about the software.

Cons when there's a problem it doesn't give you much info Review Source MC Matthew C. Logistics Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ACF " April 9, 2019 5.0 Pros The job cost module. The inventory module. The barcode module. The IWR job paper. The mobile apps. Cons We would like to see more Windows like components. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer COO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Less paperwork and mails" June 2, 2021 4.0 By using this we have our purchase process visible and well organized Pros Very well organized in the way to get everything in it's place. We reduce mailing ques to send PO to our vendors Cons Sometimes it things result difficult, to many buttons, to many steps. Review Source BF Barbara F. Used the software for: ### "" February 16, 2012 4.5 My company has been with C/F Data Systems since their inception. We have grown with them, and they have grown with us. The words that come to mind to describe CF Data and their staff are dedication, knowledge, expertise, and follow through. C/F Data gets to know their clients. They delve into each new client's business persona, operations, identify their needs, and then they MAKE IT WORK. The various program modules are well integrated and the result is accurate data produced efficiently. Over the many years, they have helped us with a variety of routine issues, but there have been times when they have gone far beyond our expectations of customer service. I can honestly say that we have learned from each other, and the C/F Data programs and upgrades reflect their constantly developing knowledge base. Review Source SH Sandy H. Used the software for: ### "" February 21, 2012 5.0 We have been using STRUCTURE for 14 years. C/F Data Systems is constantly upgrading to keep up with the needs/wishes of their clients and any necessary federal/state tax changes required. STRUCTURE covers all aspects of managing our company from job costing to all necessary up-to-date financial information. 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. I highly recommend STRUCTURE to anyone who wants all the necessary software, training, and support needed to operate his or her business in one package. Review Source MD Mike D. Used the software for: ### "" February 27, 2012 4.5 We started using STRUCTURE in 2001, and have had a great experience right from the start. Ease of use and customer service are the two qualities that come to mind when describing the software. Whether you are entering payables or managing a multi-million dollar project, the logical menus make it easy to enter or obtain the data you need instantly. If you do have an issue, a knowledgeable and helpful C/F Data tech is always available to help. Most recently we had a new company set up on a holiday, so it didn't interfere with our normal workday. Review Source DG DONNA G. Used the software for: ### "" February 16, 2012 5.0 I positively love STRUCTURE. I know I can depend on it completely; and if something is wrong it is always an error on my part. The support is great and fast. I used another software at my previous employment and the support was absolutely horrible. You could wait for days before they got back to you. I cannot say enough about the friendliness of the people who work for STRUCTURE. They are always kind, even if your requests sound a little crazy! I would recommend this software to any company. Review Source EC Emily C. Used the software for: ### "" February 16, 2012 5.0 I love C/F Data Systems! Since my company changed to their program a few years ago, organizing my work is so much easier to manage! The program is easy to navigate and the C/F Data staff is always ready to help with any questions or suggestions! Their programs are a great tool that makes my job much more efficient and time saving! Review Source MA Matt A. Office Support Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Structure - For Better or Worse" January 13, 2025 3.0 Overall, Structure is fairly simple to navigate and understand with what the platform can provide. Pros Structure is fairly easy to learn and understand. Functionality from module to module are parallel so there isn't a lot of additional learning once you have gotten to know what makes the program tick. Cons Conversely to the Pros, Structure is as easy as it is because the system in 2025 is archaic. There are significant limitations in such basic, simple interface such as character limits within modules, practically non-existent report exporting, and more complex technology like vendor-to-vendor integration that simply aren't found in today's programming. Review Source Nichole P. Treasurer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "USING STRUCTURE MY SKIN IS CLEAR & MY CROPS ARE FLOURISHING. WELL NOT REALLY, BUT MY BUSINESS IS! " April 6, 2018 5.0 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. Review Source LS Lee S. Assistant Vice President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Structure Blue review from a user with a non-accounting background" December 22, 2022 4.0 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. Review Source Jennifer H. Safety Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great overall, user-friendly!" April 27, 2018 5.0 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. Review Source Ruby C. HR Liasion Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for construction!" April 5, 2018 4.0 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Customer service is excellent, but there are some hiccups with flow" April 10, 2018 3.0 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 Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Assistant Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It is a little outdated with software" April 10, 2018 3.0 It took us from Manual paperwork to doing things on the computer. The thing I like the most was the PO system. Be able to email PO directly to our Vendors was life changing for me. Pros It is way better then what we had. We did everything manually before so it streamlined everything and made it a faster process. It also allowed us to store documents all in one place and have a lot of information in one place. Cons You have to push too many buttons to get what you want done. It also is not as user friendly as it was described to us. When we got into it, there were a lot of things that didn't flow well or that were not easy to use. Review Source JR Joe R. Used the software for: ### "" February 17, 2012 5.0 We are a Virginia based General Contractor with a focus on large commercial buildings as well as convenience stores and gas stations. We have our own Pump and Tank Division for the installation and removal of underground storage tanks. Our search for new software began in 2001, and we looked at a lot of packages. We had been using Peachtree but with our sales increasing rapidly it was suggested by our outside accountants that we obtain a product that would grow with us. We eventually were introduced to C/F Data Systems by an outside business consultant and after reviewing what C/F Data offered and the cost differential of competitors it was an easy choice. After purchasing STRUCTURE we began the implementation process, which to anyone who has experience knows can be nightmare. The staff at C/F Data with their online classes and telephone support made it a breeze. They were with me every step of the way supportive and inquisitive; making sure I was making the best use of their product. We have been up and running now for nine and a half years, and I am still very impressed with the support C/F Data Systems provides. 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. Currently we have all the key modules we need for our business and recently added the Project Manager Module. It was interesting to watch our PM’s eyes light up when they were first exposed to their new tool. It will help them keep better track of their jobs and all the associated documents. It will also help with all the necessary communication between Owner and Subcontractors to assure better efficiency. 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. One of the main reasons is not tracking the data needed to understand where you are on a job. I can say with confidence that C/F Data Systems has provided us with the information that has helped us survive. Review Source SH Steve H. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accounting meets Project Management" November 4, 2019 5.0 Pros We utilize the project management side of the software to integrate AP so the accounting team can have an easier time with the billing process. Cons We do run into issues with software updates, but the customer service team is great on fixing the issues asap. All software updates have bugs, so I wouldn't discount structure. It is something that we run into a few times a year and need to call into customer service to usually get the fix within an hour. Review Source TW Tatyana W. Accounting Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CF Data Accounting software" April 8, 2019 5.0 We have been working with CF Data for decades. With their support we were able to automate many of our processes and allow them to run smoothly and efficiently. Pros Ease of use and the ability to adjust the modules and reports is very helpful. Cons We use this software for Accounting and payroll primarily. The only downfall is that they are not a payroll specialized company so they are not able to meet all our needs in that regard.
