### "Game changing estimating software\!" — 5.0/5

> **Alison** | *September 12, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We love that it speeds up the process for quoting by using templates that we are able to create, specific to our type of projects.  We used to spend hours on our estimates with tedious spreadsheets but this enables us to get our quotes to the customers in a fraction of the time\!
> 
> **Cons**: We found the initial learning process a little hard to grasp but we were introduced to a great 'customer success manager' who spent a lot of time walking us through it until we were comfortable using the program.
> 
> Their customer service is very responsive and customer focused - they want you to succeed and get the most out of the software. They regularly check in to offer support and updates and are always willing to listen to concerns or suggestions that you may have to improve functionality.
