Versatile Project Management and Procurement Software
Versatile Project Management and Procurement Software
Pros
This system offers a broad range of data entry and custom reporting that suits an engineering firm's needs. Customer service is the best I've experienced with any software company. New features are regularly added based on customer feedback.
Cons
Adding new features regularly can sometimes cause temporary bugs. More frequent updates or additions of learning resources would help reduce the need to contact Customer Service.

Great program for Project Management and Procurement.
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.

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

Comprehensive Project Management Tool
Comprehensive Project Management Tool
Pros
4castplus is supported by a responsive team that swiftly reacts to customer requests and suggestions, providing consistent feedback. It's a comprehensive solution that can manage a project from opportunity to closeout. Field data entry covers most aspects of the project, reducing PM/Admin involvement in routine tasks. It serves multiple industries, integrating various perspectives on project management and offering multiple paths to the same outcome.
Cons
The procurement workflow is robust but complicated. It's flexible, but some business workflows have to follow the software's assumed process. User license tiers are a bit confusing and overlap slightly; they could use some simplification. Serving multiple industries can add complexity to workflows.

Best in class software and people

Pros
The team at 4castplus is highly responsive and clearly dedicated to strong client partnerships. This is a refreshing change from my past experiences with software vendors. Their software is fast, easy to navigate, and you can see their commitment to top quality in every module. It's a very well-built system that I'd highly recommend.
Cons
Any cons I have are minor tweaks. The 4castplus team is very responsive about implementing my suggestions in their regular updates, so those cons don't last long.

Everything in one central place
Everything in one central place
Pros
As a mid-sized contractor, we handle many fixed-price contracts, so we must closely monitor our costs and margins. 4castplus has given us incredible visibility into everything happening in real time. It's all on one centralized platform with excellent reporting, which is a massive improvement over the spreadsheets we used before. We also appreciate that we can manage all our subcontracts along with our self-performed work in the same system, which is a huge benefit for contractors like us.
Cons
We handle a lot of mid-sized projects, so some 4castplus features designed for mega projects (like certain project controls and forecasting) aren't useful to us, but everything else is excellent.

Pros
I use 4castplus strictly as a Procurement tool. It's very easy to navigate and very flexible. I don't need any of the PM features, so it's nice that I can use only what I require in 4castplus. The support team is responsive, and I've always been able to get help when I need it.
Cons
I only use it for Procurement, and the project management features are useless to me as I don't need to track project-related data.

Pros
The UI is intuitive and easy for our field staff. You can access the tool anywhere, even offline. The reporting functions are excellent, especially for the diversity of divisions we work with.
Cons
4castplus has a ton of features, and we don't use all of them due to our business nature. You need to complete all the training to use the whole system.

Fantastic product by Alberta based company

Pros
It's a very powerful tool that has been developed locally here in Alberta. The great user interface makes recording billable time incredibly easy.
Cons
It's a very robust solution, and I only use it to record billable time. It's a bit overkill for what I need, but the price is unbeatable.
