Spectrum Business Intelligence
is very intuitive, and very easy to
set up. I was surprised how easy
it was to use.
— Howard Dembs,
CFO, W. Soule & Co.
To continue to meet growing demands—and operate six different
locations—the company knew it needed to gain better insight
into its own operations to achieve efficiency. When the company
needed to move from Maxwell Management Suite, it began
looking at cloud solutions with more robust functionality, said W.
Soule CFO Howard Dembs.
"We looked at Trimble Viewpoint's Spectrum Construction
Software, which was a referral we got from one of our peer group
members that had been using it," Dembs said. "He gave me a
demo and when I saw it, I thought, 'this is unbelievably great.' We
definitely wanted ACH capabilities. We wanted the simple export
features for electronic W-2 reporting that Spectrum had. We
wanted better visibility for our project managers."
Dembs also noted that Maxwell's AIA billing was not meeting
W. Soule's needs. He saw the accounting functionality in
Spectrum—from accounts payable and receivable to job costing
to billing—as superior to the company's existing software, while
the integrated project management, document management
and other functionality made for a more complete construction
management software platform. "It was just way, way better,"
he said.
