Recently, in an independent review, BIS software was awarded FIVE stars for construction accounting and job management functionality and capabilities by CPA Software News. This reflects our continual dedication to producing software that exceeds our customers’ needs.

Integration Because BIS is written with Visual Fox Pro, there is no need to purchase a separate reporting system (i.e. Crystal Reports) or a separate database (i.e. Oracle or SQL Server) in order to make your software work. BIS provides an all-inclusive, seamless and reliable solution, which saves our contractors money and their accountant’s time.

Ease of use Though we offer the most advanced construction accounting tool available, BIS is also recognized for its unparalleled ease of use. Upon review of our online demo, clients quickly discover how intuitive and straightforward BIS software is. The familiar Windows interface and well thought out software design allows for a learning curve measured not in days or weeks, but hours!

With three main product lines (Standard, Professional, and Enterprise) tailored to fit the exact size of your business, various add-on modules, company specific report formatting, remote user access, competitive pricing and enhanced security features that are second to none, BIS has an edition that is right for your company’s budget and needs.

Compatibility The ýDesigned for Windowsý logo means that BIS complies with all of Microsoft’s current guidelines for stability, ease of use and product performance. In addition, BIS boasts ODBC compliance, meaning that BIS data can easily be exported or accessed through a variety of programs, such as Access, Crystal Reports, Excel and/or Word - to name a few.

World Class Support BIS Technical Support is second to none in the industry. We believe that no one knows the software better than the people that write it. With BIS, our clients talk to support personnel that actually write portions of the software applications. Available five days per week by telephone and online.

Change Order Management

Integrated in all BIS editions is a change control feature. Many of our current competitors charge an additional fee for change order control and offer it as a separate module. At BIS, we believe that change order control is an integral part of any construction business and thus we have integrated into our software system free of additional charges.

The BIS Change Order Control allows you to easily track and bill for owner change orders. Change Orders can be billed on a lump-sum or cost-plus basis.

Company Specific Reports

*If BIS doesn’t have a report that matches your company specific requirements, (and we expect this to happen in only rare circumstances) our software engineers can create a custom report for you.

At BIS, we believe that no two reports are the same. Companies have formatting needs and preferences that other companies, even within the same construction industry, differ from. With 400+ construction specific reports already integrated and available for your choosing, a report writer which allows contractors the ability to edit existing printables or create your own reports, and *a BIS software staff that will create any company specific report to meet your company’s requirements or preference. BIS guarantees that our reporting systems will meet your individual company specific needs.

Data Import

Included in all BIS software packages is a data import feature.

When upgrading from programs such as Quickbooks, Peachtree or MYOB to BIS it is important that none of your vital information is lost in the process. For this reason, BIS includes an import feature that quickly and reliably transfers all of your vital information from your old software to BIS.

Further, BIS allows importing of estimates from many types of spreadsheet programs and estimating programs such as Excel into our program. Save a significant amount a data entry time by using the powerful import feature BIS that has to offer.

Document Link and Imaging

Document Link and Imaging goes beyond the standard imaging modules or features that a few of our competitors offer! With document link and imaging the dream of a paper-free office is closer to be realized.

Document Link and Imaging allows BIS users to electronically attach any external file (invoices, CAD designs, blueprints, signed contracts, MS Project schedules, video files, job site photos, and any other type of job related file) to any master or any transaction record at any time. Thus eliminating or reducing the need for paper filing cabinets or on-site document storage. Further, since all job information is automatically linked to any master or transaction record, the information is instantly retrievable with a simple click of a button. This saves you and your company time: No more waiting for your employees to search to through endless stacks of paper in order to make a copy a job related invoice.

TOP 9 REASONS to PURCHASE: THE DOCUMENT LINK & IMAGING MODULE

1. Saves Time. Eliminates the hassle in retrieving and attempting to find paperwork from file storage cabinets, on-site or off-site storage facilities, or lost paperwork.
2. Protects and eliminates amount of paperwork. Often companies keep two sets of backup records of their critical paperwork. One backup set is kept in an offsite location and the other two records (the original and the backup) are kept on-site. With document link and imaging all of your critical documents can be stored on site electronically and the original master can be stored offsite for security purposes.
3. Link any external file directly to your job transaction. Ability to attach any type of file to any master or transaction record on any module. Ever wondered where the estimate, schedule file, contract, blueprints, job photos, CAD drawings or timecards for your construction project are? With document link & imaging they are all just two clicks away. Simply pull up the link & imaging window and click on the corresponding file that you wish to retrieve.
4. Increases your profits. Considerably expense is incurred when documents have to be overnighted, couriered or faxed. With document link & imaging all your external documents pertaining to a job can be remotely accessed* through the BIS accounting system.
5. Remote Access. Job Sites and Remote offices often require access to certain paperwork located in another office. Document Link & Imaging helps eliminate the need to travel long distances to retrieve this paperwork. Once scanned to a job file, the image is readily available to anyone with access to your accounting system.
6. Guard yourself against potential lawsuits. After completing a job, getting sued for something not your fault is a headache - to say the least. Taking pictures of a job site as work progresses and linking those pictures to your job transaction helps guard your company against the headache of potential lawsuits by documenting the work completed, the order work was completed in and the condition of the finished project.
7. Document yourself. Any lawyer will tell you that documentation is the thing that wins cases. Document Link & Imaging helps you keep all documentation pertaining to a job in one, centralized location.
8. Protect Yourself. Photograph, document and electronically store information pertaining to accident scenes. This is a great help in workers’ compensation claims or lawsuits by documenting the location & the condition of personnel, equipment and the job site.
9. Costs less & offers more than the competitors. Other companies charge $5,000 - $15,000 for a limited functionality document-imaging module. BIS charges $995 (single-user) for Document Link & Imaging combined.

Note: May Require BIS Enterprise Edit, Server or Other Remote Access Software Such as ýPc-Anywhereý.

BIS offers users 4 levels of user access security. The first two levels, module and menu level security are available in BIS Standard edition. An additional functional level security feature is available in BIS Professional. And for companies or administrators that wish to provide user access to specific fields on a form while hiding other fields on the same form, BIS Enterprise offers field level security.

Report Writer

Many of our competitors believe that their customers should have to purchase 3rd party software in order to view, modify and create existing and new reports. 3rd party software inherently can lead to integration complications with the accounting software, inaccurate transfer of information, unfriendly data formatting and other compatibility difficulties.

BIS does things differently. First, BIS already has 400+ construction specific reports built into and integrated with its system for immediate viewing without purchasing any additional software. Second, if your company requires editing of existing printables or creating custom reports to fit your needs we provide two options: a) Have our software designers design a company specific report for your company OR b) purchase our report writer module for a nominal fee and create reports and edit existing printables yourself.

BIS Report Writer is written by BIS for BIS users. This means that our users can be assured of 100% compatibility and integration between BIS accounting modules, BIS reports and BIS report writer. Thus eliminating all the difficulties found when trying to link 3rd party software with competitors accounting packages.
