When we demod Corecon it seemed like a pretty good fit but it was a bit too much learning for our team. They also were not standard for our specifc industry (roofing) so we ended up looking at other options.
Streamlined system that works well with QuickBooks
Was too much of a learning curve
Very Intuitive, well thought out product, has been a game changer for us. Cloud based so start up costs are low and most importantly I don’t need to buy any hardware. Very affordable and there is a great mobile app too.
There is a customer/subcontractor portal that makes communication and statuses a snap
Eventhough integration with Quickbooks and Quickbooks online is good, I wish Corecon had it’s own self contained accounting package.
