VIEWPOINT.com | +1 800.333.3197 filled with filing cabinets are nearly at an end, and KT Power wanted to be ahead of the curve in terms of digitally tracking the accounting needs of their projects. "Both Maxwell and Viewpoint handled daily accounting functions — accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll — but ProContractor did all the same things plus allowing us to upload our paper invoices and store those within the program," Elfrink said. Digital recordkeeping became essential to KT Power as they started taking on larger projects, particularly working as a general contractor on multimillion-dollar electrical installments. Elfrink needed to track everything over the full life of a project, and with ProContractor, he could do that with a click of his mouse. "You can look at a document a week, a month, or a year later from your desktop, instead of trying to dig through your files," he said. SMOOTH TRANSITION Viewpoint provided a transition consultant to help KT Power implement ProContractor. Decades of data had to be reconfigured to be compatible with the program — and Elfrink and his team had personal, on-site instruction at their disposal. "The consultant stayed for a week to actually work through the conversion," he said. "Once we had sent all of our data to Viewpoint, they converted it all for us into a compliant database." The consultant also shepherded Elfrink through the program's basic functionalities. As a financial professional, Elfrink said he had been through "close to a dozen" different software product changes in his career. And ProContractor was, "by far, the smoothest." "Most of the time, product changes don't go very smooth," he said. "This one was probably the easiest and smoothest I've ever been through." ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION Every day, when Elfrink opens ProContractor, he can rely on seeing the same intuitive layout that first drew him to the program. Out of any accounting system I've worked with, ProContractor is the most flexible and user-friendly I've used. – Mark Elfrin, Controller KT Power Systems
