Customer Support is fantastic and great for when you need help doing things in the software. > > **Cons**: The accounting software is difficult to use if you make mistakes and there are a lot of steps to undo and re-do transactions. > > Overall, I've had a positive experience with Foundations. The software does take some getting used to, especially as an accountant and coming from a software such as quickbooks but once you get the hang of it it comes along pretty easily. ----- ### "AllStar Glass" — 5.0/5 > **Jodi** | *March 10, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service availability, training and education. > > **Cons**: It can be a bit persnickety when it comes to connectivity. Seems to time out quickly if I am not consistently working in Foundation. That can be annoying. > > Love Foundation Soft for the job costing abilities, the PM module is wonderful and of course PR, AR and AP. The way everything works together is perfect. ----- ### "Foundation Software Review" — 4.0/5 > **Laura** | *June 16, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Log-a-call is a quick and easy way to get timely assistance from customer service; everyone I have worked with has been very helpful. When we have had problems with WorkMax and the HQ systems, there is almost always someone who is willing to put in the time to help us find our way through any given issue. > > **Cons**: Very often the system seems buggy, and that goes for Foundation proper and then also the HQ and WorkMax offshoots, and the system is not overly intuitive. > > Foundation was difficult to train on at first and took me a while to figure out how to find the information that I needed. Now that I've used it for a couple of years, I better understand how to navigate the program, though I think the system is a little clunky. ----- ### "Controller" — 3.0/5 > **Carolyn** | *June 10, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer Support is gold star. Quick response, knowledgeable reps who are able to explain the situation. > > **Cons**: Unable to job cost labor based on work date. Can't find a snapshot of the job activity on 1 screen. Would love to see original contact \& cost, change orders, JTD billing \& costs, \& cash collected on one screen. --- Unable to have sub-accounts for the credit card rec. > > Only worked in it for 1.5 years, so still learning. I am not comfortable with the data on the job activity reports. Frustrated with how labor is recorded. Need to be able to record labor based on work date with the system generating an acrrual at the end of the period, along with the reversing entry. ----- ### "So-So software" — 3.0/5 > **Gayle** | *April 20, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Support is very good. Generally the representative who call you back are very knowledgeable. The software is easy to use. The on-line webinars are good, downloadable handouts are also very helpful. Needs to be more of them. Also, training classes for advanced queries, etc. need to be offered more often. > > **Cons**: Very few enhancement requests. We have been using the software since 2020 and I have not seen any enhancements that make the job easier. This is very frustrating. I realize that you get 1000's of requests, but if you had a way for users to vote on requests you would have a better understanding of what the users want. > > The software is good, but there are things that need to be fixed. Example: Allow you to select multiple invoices from the same vendor paid as and eft, but record eft payments individually. This is time consuming if you have several that need to be paid to the same vendor. We recording cash receipts allow you to have a check box so that you can record them as 1 total deposit rather than record the cash receipt and then record the bank deposit. Rather than delete employees, vendors, customers and jobs, have a box that you check to inactive them so they don't show in the drop-downs (similar to the way you can in general ledger). Last year I was told some of the requests I wanted were being worked on. So far nothing. ----- Page: 1 / 17\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/2032/foundation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/2032/foundation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
