Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contractor Foreman as a service ticket portal. We upload pictures before and after of completed work orders and invoices. It's a tracking system for us.
The issue for us is nothing is customizable and it's difficult to manipulate the stunted system to do what we need. Additionally upgrades are only made IF several other customers use the system in a similar way and want the same type of change or update.

Pros

Stores Customer Data
Stores Vendor Data
Time Card Tracking for our techs in the field

Cons

Customizations
Add on's to sub categories
Remove mandatory fields in PO Projects

Return on Investment

It's more convenient than an excel spreadsheet
We can capture photos during projects and service tickets
We can add data to the customers page for necessary additional data

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Been using Contractor Foreman for 3 years and find it easy to use, very intuitive, provides lots of insightful reports and keeps our projects documented. Its good for managing contracts with contract change, compliance notice and schedule notices built in. Also good for managing estimates to keep track of what needs to be submitted and what is pending.

Pros

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contractor Forman for our project management software. It lets our employees clock into the correct jobs and cost codes.

I am not the administrator of the program, but as the office manager, I use evContractor Foremanery module and integrate it with the rest of our business software.

Pros

Time Cards
Cost Codes
Estimates
Submittals
Invoices

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Contractor Foreman to schedule and track the status of our projects. We have tried a few other software programs that were far more expensive and did not compare to Contractor Foreman. We were spending lots of time on implementation and meetings for other software, but didn't feel like we were using our time efficiently. Not anymore, now that we are using Contractor Foreman. It's efficient and has a quick setup with helpful people who know their system very well.

Pros

Project Tracking.
Business Tracking.
Organization
Simple View Point.
Custom Dashboard.

Cons

Default Project Details based on the Project Type entered.

Return on Investment

Significantly less amount of time on back-end entries.
Cut our hours in half from the previous software.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a surface finishing contractor. We use CF for its enhanced project management capabilities. From pricing a job and issuing estimates to our operatives on the ground filling in timesheets and submitting inspections of works. We like the fact that we only need one system now and everything raised for a project remains in the project files for ease of looking back on it later. I would recommend anyone to use this program.

Pros

Estimates
Inspections
Safety Meetings
User friendly
Good app for the guys on sites

Cons

Stock Inventory could be better and have a dedicated section to monitor stock
Some extra fields should be available on custom reporting
Some more details and sections when forming estimates

Return on Investment

All data stored in one place and not on shared drives or phones or spreadsheets
ROI - saves time for operatives on site and moneyfor project management as any reports/pictures/RFIs/invoices etc all are stored within the project
