Love it! The best things about it are keeping track of everything

Pros

The way you can track lost time to jobs and keeping track of workers time.

Cons

Kinda hard to navigate to some areas. For instance trying to figure out how to print a weekly time sheet that included everyone on the job and the amount of hrs they worked.

I would love to spend a full day to show and go over all the problems or comments I have with eSub if you give me time to review and create a list. I want to help and I think I can make this beneficial to eSub and Kelson, but just need the opportunity and more importantly, the time on my end to do so.

Pros

Keeps everything in one spot that should, in theory, have everyone in the company on the same page.

Cons

There are a lot of quirks that should make the software easier to use but simply do not exist for the purpose of our company.

Pros

We're able to better manage the hours on the job along with the cost on the job with using eSUB.

Cons

I wish we could create folders to save pictures to help separate the different files. I.E. Folder Building 1 then another folder inside of that one called Column A then another folder inside of that one called A1 then I can put pictures inside of that folder.

Communication between the field/project manager/ and accounting. We're truly capturing dollars that used to be lost. Very happy with eSub and recommend it to all of my "friendly" colleagues.

Pros

The software has allowed us to communicate efficiently between the operations in the field and the project manager. More efficiently capturing change order dollars that used to be lost.

Cons

I understand why the system is so robust but there ought to be a way to streamline e-mailing documents to general contractors. Once it is initially set up on the first e-mail it should not be that I MUST make the same selections every time. Default should be to include support documents. Subject line for change order e-mails should be the project/CO#/CO Subject.

Good Software

Reviewed on 2023/02/01

Pros

I typically use E-sub to generate submittals, purchase orders and change orders. It's super effective for this, as i can attach documents to the submittal as well and it helps keep me organized and have all of my submittals in one place.

Cons

Sometimes the software can be glitchy and will not allow me to add certain files/takes a long time to load.

Pros

I love the logs and how everything is organized from most recent to oldest. This function is quite good.

Cons

File upload is capped off at 25MB. Bigger size uploads and previous for those files would be really helpful. Especially on a mobile app. In addition, the rates for change orders need to be saved. This feature is in use, however it affects all projects (including past projects). LAUSD projects have different costs in comparison to other projects.. So adding a keyword that will save these costs in the future would be very helpful in the long run.

From when I personally started using eSUB, back in 2015, I have never felt uneasy about the software. I have always had the confidence in using the software because of the very first and initial meeting, deployment, and support I have received from the eSUB support team and those special people who have managed our account! When you take the time to show a customer/user how your product can impact their productivity and success in a positive way, you've gained more than their business, you've gained loyalty!

Pros

Our 7 year partnership with eSUB has been an inspiring one! Over the years we have seen improvements in the software and when we have questions, concerns, or need further instruction for use of eSUB, we are able to get a response and dedicated support!

Cons

The software currently is not fully customizable, but we have been assured that this is all changing once eSUB 2.0 is fully released and available for us to deploy all phases.

Does some things well but could be better optimized overall

Reviewed on 2023/02/02

Pros

I like the tracking capabilities for change orders, payapps, and submittals

Cons

It can be very clunky and not optimized. Sometimes there are too many menus you have to go through to make changes i.e. when I'm making a payapp and realize there's a change order that hasn't been entered yet or when I am ready to send out a payapp but the user I need to send it to isn't added as a project contact yet. I need to entirely close out of my drafted email and go through multiple menus to make what should be a simple change. I also cannot delete change orders / payapps that were created by mistake.
