FOUNDATION Reviews & Product Details

The business I worked for could use Foundation for almost all aspects of their construction business. I appreciated the frequent, timely updates, the multiple available reports we used for compliance tracking, and the ease of use for payroll recordkeeping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were not able to integrate Foundation with our heavy equipment usage and service schedule. It was also a daily annoyance that I could not "search" for an employee by their name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once the system is learned, it is relatively easy to use and easy to teach others to use. The project accounting module is good and easily adaptable to different accounting approaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support for problems is rarely addressed as quickly as you would like. You have to call and log a request for support and wait for them to call you back. Often when they call back you are not available.

Their support for the integration with Procore is largely non-existent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that all of the modules integrate with each other to give a total picture in one location. It eliminates the need for multiple tracking sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's a little difficult to get report parameters set up properly to see the exact information needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has multiple modules like AR/AP/Payroll/Procurement and a user guide. Support staff is really helpful. Geared towards Construction Accounting. However, it seems competitors like Procore will fare better on project management features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface seems choppy. System reacts slow. Custom reports is limited, would like to do more with this. Lacks drag/drop features compared to systems like Procore. Its not browser based. There is also this clunky way of saving files in the system that makes you not want to save files for how slow it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most useful items that we used repeatedly were documentation and their training courses to help understand the structure and interworkings. The Training provided the needed help with Report writing to get the full potential out of the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The existing reports didn't always give you all the information needed. The need for custom Reports was a must. Foundation has been making improvements, but our best reports are still created in MS Query and pulled into Access or Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are multiple layers to Foundation and their customer service is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are lots of layers to Foundation and it can feel a little cumbersome. It also doesn't talk to our other software, which is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The job costing module is fully integrated with the general ledger and payroll modules making the booking of entries into the various modules seamless. The financial reporting module is very flexible in terms of exporting to PDF, Excel or word formats and editing of reports in these formats is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the WIP reports are a little to basic and could do with more substantive reporting features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not necessarily anything spectacular or that makes this program better than similar programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program, when used in the construction industry, makes it difficult to do certified payroll on wage scale projects. The reports are also not always able to provide the information in a way that is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to pull all job costs in a single report after invoices and time-cards are posted. There are labor reports, as well as job total reports that show the remaining committed costs from your budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have to adjust the week ending dates to the current week to get up to date reports. If you use the current date, it will have reports from the previous weeks costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of capabilities that Foundation gave us that QuickBooks couldn't. The main issue with QuickBooks was it's ability to handle our accounting with how much the company had grown. That's ultimately why we made the switch. One of the best things about Foundation is being able to share invoice documents with project managers for review online instead of giving them physical copies.

There are some functions that we were unable to utilize without upgrading or purchasing other functions despite us buying these functions, and that was pretty annoying. Also, the program ran incredibly slowly, and that bothered most of our users. Lastly, only a select number of people could be online at any given time, and that often caused issues with our work flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
