VIEWPOINT.com | +1 800.333.3197 as its all-in-one construction management software solution to handle its estimating, project management, and accounting — its entire workflow from end-to-end. Simons explained that the primary reasons for choosing ProContractor were the fact that it is a complete solution that would streamline the entire construction process, it has multi-company functionality, and its iPad feature would increase communications with the crew in the field. Magleby has implemented the accounting and project management components of the all-in-one solution along with its mobility app, and will move forward with the estimating functionality in the near future. "We didn't want to tackle everything at once, so we are using a phased approach," said Simons. One Solution for Multiple Companies As a complete solution, ProContractor serves as a central repository for all of Magleby's business information. "By having everything in one system, contractors can make sound business decisions based on accurate financial information," explained Simons. "With ProContractor, we can easily run a financial report on an individual company or a combined financial on the whole organization. This capability does not exist in spreadsheets or when using separate systems." "We have all these different companies that operate as their own legal entities and we needed a way to have accounting functionalities that could cross company lines," said Simons. "In all my research, I have found very few systems that have this ability." He added, "The multi-company functionality in ProContractor is working great. We have all of our employees in one company and we are able to assign them to the other entities. So, although we're doing payroll out of one company, it is hitting all the job costs and all the individual company reports. That is incredibly important. ProContractor has helped us to put our company in order and to protect us legally. Having a system that supports that is very powerful." It's All in the Details In addition to the multi-company functionality, Simons also expressed the value of the subaccount functionality. Prior to implementing ProContractor, Magleby lumped their costs into a few major categories, such as utilities, fleet management, and office expenses. This created many challenges when understanding and managing their costs. ProContractor ™ has helped us to put our company in order and to protect us legally. Having a system that supports that is very powerful. – J. Bradley Simons, Chief Financial Officer, Magleby Construction
