“PFA Consulting Ltd - Review on Amber-JCS”
Pros
This job costing software represents a significant leap forward from our previous system. It streamlines the process by allowing staff to input time sheets directly, providing real-time cost information. The abundance of reports available ensures transparency and facilitates easy and accurate analysis of our figures. Seamless integration with Sage further enhances its functionality.
Cons
It's important to keep in mind that the software operates as an Access database and is limited to the parameters you set. Transitioning from an accounting package required some adjustment.
