Pros
The software's simple nature greatly simplifies managing both subcontractors on site and my own team. Its intuitive design ensures that everyone, from subcontractors to my in-house team, can easily navigate and use the features. This ease of use has significantly improved our workflow and efficiency on site, allowing us to focus more on the actual work rather than getting bogged down by complicated process.
Cons
Some features like RFI's need to be addressed, and I need to check the Programme / SOW simplicity.

Improves your processes, communication and reduces paperwork
Improves your processes, communication and reduces paperwork
Pros
For our business, the benefits have been: -less paperwork on sites, especially the number of forms and permits that need completing. -Increased visibility on our H&S and QA docs for audits and clients -Improved communication between our site team and the office, with real-time updates and photos on issues or changes to the scope -Less admin work on the handover packs after a job. No more WhatsApp groups with photos that need labels or missing photos. It's all organized and ready to go to the client.
Cons
We eagerly await new features - each update is an extra perk, and we want them as soon as we hear about them. They deliver quickly, but we wish they could come even sooner!

Pros
The software is very easy and self-explanatory; it looks very clean, which makes it more enjoyable to use. We are still in the early stages of setting up and using the software, but so far, we really like the simplicity and user integration.
Cons
I would like more budgeting tools and maybe a bit more production scheduling. I know some of these are in the works, so I just need to be patient.

Fantastic Industry Focused Project Management Tool

Pros
We like how it collates documents and allows you to upload changes and amendments to previous docs, keeping tabs on everything.
Cons
The interface keeps getting better, but it can take a few tries to get used to it at first. Once familiar, it works smoothly.

The ease of use for new team members is excellent. We can introduce Fonn on new projects with new teams, and they can start using it immediately. The interface is easy to understand.

Our New Motto, "Fonn is Fun"
Our New Motto, "Fonn is Fun"
Pros
Fonn has many features that we consider the best. The purpose of using Project Management software is to have everything in one place. Fonn has done an impeccable job of building software that does just that. Our project teams can build schedules, submit RFIs and Submittals, create Meeting Minutes, perform Safety checks, document project progress, manage subcontractors, and even track warranty issues, all from one place that is easy to use. Another challenge we face is not always having wireless internet. The application is built to work without connectivity, and any updates made will be added to Fonn when the user is back online.
Cons
Integrating new software into an established company is always tough. Fonn uses Checklists as its core. Initially, using a checklist for documentation and management seemed flimsy, but the Fonn support team quickly showed its robustness and sophistication.

Pros
It is simple and easy to use across multiple devices. I had access to all information, documentation, and project participants in one place, with push notifications for changes.
Cons
I missed being able to read Word and Excel files directly in the software. I had all documentation in one place but had to download office files to read them.

Pros
Fonn Construction helps us manage all of our projects. It is easily accessible for those of us who organize the projects and for third parties who participate in our project. For us, it is important to have accurate information available to all parties. This way, we avoid costly misunderstandings that could have been resolved early. Fonn Construction makes it possible to control and follow up with subcontractors and stakeholders productively.
Cons
The ability to mass invite new users would be great.
