Avaliações do COINS

Software most fully addressed our numerous business needs as a complete ERP system and has a high degree of available customization.

Some areas of the software were newly developed and a bit clunky when we started, and the customization increases our QA load. However, great strides have been made in both areas.

I like the amount of data that the software can process and report. In payroll, I especially like that you can make an effective date for all payroll item changes and union rate changes. It makes payroll preparation that much easier during tax or union rate changes. Coins is also easy to use overall and helps us manage our jobs from forecasting to tracking actual job costs. Mobile tech is another great feature that makes it easier for our service department. And finally the support that we receive from the Coins help desk is usually timely and thorough, they are usually very knowledgeable and eager to help and assist us to correct any problems that we have.

I think the least thing I like about the software is I would like the ability to be able to create my own reports without having to go through the process of having Coins create one for me. So a little more flexibility with generating reports would be awesome. I also do not believe that we should have to pay to have a report made or modified, that we are paying the bi-annual license fees and have already paid for the program itself. I just don't think it should be a separate charge.

The project management portion is great. Very easy to use for our project managers. It has helped tremendously in managing our jobs. Also, the support team is VERY good. Usually very quick and to the point helpful answers

Upgrading can be a slight problem when you are not totally familiar with the product. This gets easier with usage though.

What I like the most about COINS is the ability for our project manager's to see progress on their jobs. COINS allow the project managers to manage their cost on each project, which in turn makes a more profitable job.

COINS provides several useful reports, but setting up the reports take more time than I like to spend on designing a report.

COINS workflow invoice approval process, submitting time payroll time, job cost change orders.

The number of clicks to open a image or find data in the system.

It is construction-focused and helps meet the needs of what we do every day. Job information is always at our fingertips.

International functionality is difficult.

COINS has a convenient web platform with user friendly interfaces. Access to a wide variety of project data has been made easy.

Product is updated often, which is a pro & con. Some testing involved, but normally worth it for the enhancements.

The bulk, concurrent, and multi update functions allow me to maintain our information quickly and efficiently. COINS OA has very powerful reporting and analysis tools along with tons of options to view your information so you can see it however you'd like.

It's not that intuitive. Even with training from COINS, you have to dedicate some serious time to learning this software.

COINS OA is very comprehensive; as well as addressing backoffice needs, it has allowed us to expand our reach (data collection, reporting, etc.) to remote users. In addition, it more broadly addresses the needs of our operational units.

Development is always forward looking. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, there could be more focus on versions that customers are using to run their business on a daily basis.

COINs system for a does work for our company. The ease to run reports for things such as Jobs, AP & Employee Services is very user friendly. The test environment is very helpful especially when it is time to upgrade system. I have use other ERP systems in the past..... compare to other systems COINS is very effective.

The COINS Documentation needs to be update. I have tried to use it when I had questions and the info is either missing or is not update.

I like that you can configure the system for the most part to the needs of your own business and the payroll module which really cuts the time it takes to process payroll.

My biggest issue is the frequency that updates are required as that requires quite a bit of testing for the end user.

The modules of COINS are very integrated with each other and the software is very reliable.

The COINS interface can cause some initial confusion for new users but they quickly adapt.

COINS had a thorough understanding of the construction industry and the product reflects it

COINS has excellent technical support - tickets logged are resolved quickly

Occasionally sluggish, likely due to a big increase in our number of users.

Has the functionality for reporting and data storage that works well in a business and construction based environment.
Nice design with good accessibility.
Unix based softwares are fast and reliable.

Can be difficult to understand and the documentation isn't the most well detailed for the type of software.
Support can be lacking in certain areas.

COINS provides the best capability for multiple big construction projects management, easy on planning and budgeting of complex Construction and Engineering projects.

Financial and project resources management is quite easy on this tool and its the easiest platform to manage workflow and the best scheduling system.

COINS is the most used and excellent for big Construction and Engineering project cost management but the technical help can improved.

Highly configurable system allows our multiple companies with various lines of business to function in their own respective way. It is Fully Web-Based and takes advantage of canned API and Webservices to connect to other software’s that we utilize.

As it is a highly configurable system, there is an initial learning curve that takes time to understand and learn, though worth it once learned.
