A-Systems JobView Reviews

Summary: A-Systems Job View, from an admin point of view-I believe that this program is great. I like that it is not easy for anyone working in the program to "delete" or erase anything that they are doing. Job View tracks every entry with the person who is logged identification. Checks and invoices can not be altered after the fact which is great in my opinion. This program tracks job cost with ease and precision. Tech support is top notch!! I love working in this program.

Positive: Easy to work with.
Easy to track job costs.
Can't alter checks after the fact.
Tech support is top notch.

Negative: If you do not back up before posting, it's stuck in there.

Summary: I have enjoyed using JobView for many years. JobView personnel are friendly and provide great support.
I have never had a crash of this program nor have I had to restore from a backup. Maybe lucky but it makes me happy.

Positive: Ease of use.
Great history for tracking transactions.
Bank Reconciliation module is easy to use.
Transactions cannot be undone and hidden. There is a record of every transaction once it is recorded.
Easy to move transactions and reports to spreadsheet.

Negative: Not able to click on transactions to drill down on source. Have to run a separate report.
Payables does not alert to duplicate invoice numbers.

Summary: I have recommended this to many of the other contractors with whom I work. Having used QuickBooks for another entity, this is far superior for the construction industry.

Pricing for the product I find to be very reasonable.

Positive: It encompasses my entire financial outlook, including both job and non-job related work. My accountant is especially grateful for the detail and thorough nature of reporting. I use it essentially all day and it holds probably 95% of the data that I need to access in any given day. The AIA documents and job reports are invaluable.

Negative: Customizing reports can be tricky and I can't always tell if all of the data is portrayed when I try to make a new report. The posting reports could be a bit more condensed, too.

Summary: My overall experience with A-Systems has been excellent. I worked for another company that used this service for 20+ years. When that company closed, I had several jobs over a few years. But when I went to work for another contractor, I recommended JobView for them. We were set up in April of last year and have been very happy with the software and the exceptional customer service and support.

Positive: My favorite aspect of JobView is that when you call for support, you speak to a person immediately - no waiting for ticket numbers to be issued, then a representative to call you back. You get immediate attention.
The system is user friendly, and the job cost reports are easy for our project managers to understand.

Negative: I have used several other systems during the last few years of job hopping, but this is by far the most user friendly. I have no complaints.

Summary: I believe we starting using JobView in 2006. I have used this for job costing in a contracting setting as well as for inventory management in the wholesale equipment industry. And year after year I continue to be pleased with this product. The software is designed to be perfect for each individual business owners needs. I would not consider any other accounting software. I would recommend A-Systems JobView to any business!!!

Positive: This software is a complete package for tracking purchasing, customers, payroll, equipment and inventory. You can generate almost any report you would ever need or want. All reports can be customized to meet your needs. The customer support is excellent. The support team knows each customer and that team has been in place for many, many years. Mike can answer most any question you have. And if not, he will get Mark involved or programing will fix the issue quickly through the routine updates.

Negative: There is nothing I don't like about A-Systems JobView. Any issues other users at our business may have are addressed and corrected quickly.

Summary: I have really enjoyed working on this program. it is very user friendly and the reports are great. it would be great if the cloud was more affordable.

Positive: User friendly.
love the personalization per user.
Great reporting.
Up to date programs.
Very good support.

Negative: Slow at times.
Would like the cloud to be more affordable.

Summary: Super Easy to Learn, Super Value and the Best Support Ever!
This program will meet any need you have in construction accounting and make it super easy. In program, lien releases for A/P, AIA billing for A/R and certified Payroll Reports for P/R. You won't be disappointed.

Positive: Super user friendly. All modules pretty much work the same so easy to learn, best support of any program I have ever worked in for the last 31 years. The support staff will also work with getting things you think would make A-Systems better into the program at your request. If you are looking for the best all round program for construction accounting. You will get it with A-Systems JobView and extremely fair priced for the package you get.

Negative: 31 years and I honestly can't say I have ever not been satisfied.

Summary: I spent two years deciding on software, and I'm SO GLAD that I went with JobView. Arnold, Mike and Mark make it such a great program that I literally have NO COMPLAINTS.

Positive: The software program itself, is excellent! What's even MORE excellent is the customer service. With JobView - you're not some random customer, you know the team and they do everything they can to accommodate. Over the course of the year they will make updates to the software when suggestions are sent to them. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!!

Negative: Not having the time to learn every aspect of the software. The few limitations I may have run up against, they either address it immediately, add it to the wish list OR we find a work around...I have yet to really find a Con, because it always, always comes back to Customer Service.

Summary: Reviewed 3 software programs originally and picked this one and I would not change to any other one. Very satisfied.

Positive: Worked with A-Systems for 3+ years now. Good Training & Support. Always willing to hear about your questions or issues and provide a response or fix to the system. As a user you mean something to this company. Offers annual users conference to cover system updates for improvement and user feedback.

Negative: A-Systems is harder than expected on multi state payroll. It is capable of doing some but has some drawbacks.

Summary: I have 20 plus years in the accounting field and have used many software programs and JobView's ease supersedes any I have used.

Positive: Software is super user friendly.
Support is very informative.
Love the annual conference you get to learn what is new and learn some things you may not have known about that are old - no two are alike!

Negative: Did not like using non cloud version.
Reporting could be a little more user friendly to use.

Summary: I have been through 4 software implementations in my career and A-Systems has by far been the easiest! The A-Systems team has been the easiest to work with after the installation. I highly recommend A-Systems JobView!

Positive: The first thing my boss liked is the pricing of the software. But as the person who sets up the software, trains other uses and uses the software myself, the best thing about A-Systems is how easy it is to learn & use the software.

The support team is amazing! When you call you get a person answering the phone right away and not automation cyber-space. When something isn't working correctly, which happens with all software, the team is right on top of it. They even take suggestions for improvement and implement them for all to use at no extra cost.

The user conferences are amazing experiences that allowed me to talk to other users in the same industry and see how they use the software and where I can make changes to better utilize the software. I also get to learn all the new improvements and be reminded of features that we didn't implement originally and may have forgotten about. bit need to be using.

Negative: The certified payroll portion of the payroll module needs to be more robust to handle the scope of work that we do. We have employees that perform multiple classifications of work in a single day on a certified payroll job. I have to manually calculate what the employee will be paid per hour for each classification. If everyone had the same fringe benefits it would work, but our fringe varies per employee.

Summary: Everyone at A-Systems is super helpful. From providing technical assistance in the software to, sometimes even, accounting advice, the level of professionalism and service is beyond compare. The User Conferences are my absolute favorite! Getting hands on instruction and advice and being able to provide feedback and suggestion that are actually taken into account and even implemented is just phenomenal.

Positive: The level of support and reception to feedback is second to none among software products I use. Knowing help is just a quick email or phone call away puts my concerns at ease. The software itself is fairly intuitive and quite user friendly. I only wish I had more time in the day to learn what I am NOT utilizing. I know it would make my work life easier.

Negative: There are various different modules that we don't currently use, but would like to have more time in the day to learn and implement for our crew.

Summary: Overall, I'm happy with the JobView Software. There is an ease of use and familiarity with the software that I like. The personal service that we get from A-Systems is a very big plus for me.

Positive: I like the way the JobView Software is organized with different work flow screens for different areas, like GL, Payroll, Payables. I like that I can print reports with lots of parameters in order to narrow down to the information I need. I also like the personal help I get from A-Systems whenever I call for help. Someone is always available to help me without listening to a recording and pressing a bunch of numbers. I like that we can store our information in "the cloud" and don't have to worry about doing a manual backup. This has also provided us with the ability to logon from anywhere.

Negative: I don't feel like the "Help" function is very user friendly. I also wish that the formatting between the PDF version of a report and the Excel Version wasn't so garbled. There are reports/functions and features that I don't use that might be of value but I don't feel like I know where to go to learn more without going to a User Conference.

Summary: I have used A-Systems with my last 2 companies and have been very satisfied that I am able to produce the reports needed to track my accounting requirements.

Positive: A-System is user friendly and easy to use. The customer service is really the best which make any issues not a problem because everything can be resolved quickly and easy. A-system is always improving because user comments are used by the software team for continued improvements.

Negative: There should be more reports available to create without having to pay additional it should be part of the software package.

Summary: Good software, good updates, good user comments/adjustments.... needs to have PM software and HR software.... keep up with times.

Positive: Software easy to use, reliable, layout is easy to understand, good help desk, almost always get phone help when I call, keep customer up to date.

Negative: Behind the times, needs to have a pm software and paperless documentation.
