“It is an organized software which loads fast for easy use”

Pros

The site is very organized, making it easy to expedite reports and include all necessary details.

I've used this system a lot and never had any issues. I've heard from coworkers that there are sometimes coding problems, but I'm not sure if that's related to something else.

“Great program for Project Management and Procurement.”

Pros

Great customer service. It's nice to speak directly to developers, and issues are usually resolved quickly. The system is intuitive and simple.

Cons

Some reports could be better. It's tough to use for forced account type contracts because it's too complex. Cost codes don't show up immediately for some transaction types.
