Access Coins Reviews

COINS provides the best capability for multiple big construction projects management, easy on planning and budgeting of complex Construction and Engineering projects.

Financial and project resources management is quite easy on this tool and its the easiest platform to manage workflow and the best scheduling system.

COINS is the most used and excellent for big Construction and Engineering project cost management but the technical help can improved.

The system is very robust and user friendly.

Having to budget the time per unit vs 1 lump sum for the techs to be able to see on work orders

I like the amount of data that the software can process and report. In payroll, I especially like that you can make an effective date for all payroll item changes and union rate changes. It makes payroll preparation that much easier during tax or union rate changes. Coins is also easy to use overall and helps us manage our jobs from forecasting to tracking actual job costs. Mobile tech is another great feature that makes it easier for our service department. And finally the support that we receive from the Coins help desk is usually timely and thorough, they are usually very knowledgeable and eager to help and assist us to correct any problems that we have.

I think the least thing I like about the software is I would like the ability to be able to create my own reports without having to go through the process of having Coins create one for me. So a little more flexibility with generating reports would be awesome. I also do not believe that we should have to pay to have a report made or modified, that we are paying the bi-annual license fees and have already paid for the program itself. I just don't think it should be a separate charge.

Software most fully addressed our numerous business needs as a complete ERP system and has a high degree of available customization.

Some areas of the software were newly developed and a bit clunky when we started, and the customization increases our QA load. However, great strides have been made in both areas.

Organization and support through project implementation. Had a very detailed project plan, and managed tasks and scope well. As far as the product itself, would the ease and intuitiveness of navigating the menus.

Bank reconciliations can be difficult if the bank export of data doesn't match COINs required import format. Can end up being a very manual and time-consuming process. On Reports, there can be almost too many options to select when running reports, where if you're not doing it consistently you can get different results. For example, two people who think they are running the same report might get different results.

I like the abilty to create user friendly desktops. Users like the ease of payments and being anle to have an end to end product

Too many ways to do the same thing.
Difficult to find suitable reports as naming not consistent.

I am able to extract information for subcontractors easily

The format of coins needs to be updated

The project management portion is great. Very easy to use for our project managers. It has helped tremendously in managing our jobs. Also, the support team is VERY good. Usually very quick and to the point helpful answers

Upgrading can be a slight problem when you are not totally familiar with the product. This gets easier with usage though.

What I like the most about COINS is the ability for our project manager's to see progress on their jobs. COINS allow the project managers to manage their cost on each project, which in turn makes a more profitable job.

COINS provides several useful reports, but setting up the reports take more time than I like to spend on designing a report.

The bulk, concurrent, and multi update functions allow me to maintain our information quickly and efficiently. COINS OA has very powerful reporting and analysis tools along with tons of options to view your information so you can see it however you'd like.

It's not that intuitive. Even with training from COINS, you have to dedicate some serious time to learning this software.

COINS OA is very comprehensive; as well as addressing backoffice needs, it has allowed us to expand our reach (data collection, reporting, etc.) to remote users. In addition, it more broadly addresses the needs of our operational units.

Development is always forward looking. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, there could be more focus on versions that customers are using to run their business on a daily basis.

COINS workflow invoice approval process, submitting time payroll time, job cost change orders.

The number of clicks to open a image or find data in the system.

It is construction-focused and helps meet the needs of what we do every day. Job information is always at our fingertips.

International functionality is difficult.

COINs system for a does work for our company. The ease to run reports for things such as Jobs, AP & Employee Services is very user friendly. The test environment is very helpful especially when it is time to upgrade system. I have use other ERP systems in the past..... compare to other systems COINS is very effective.

The COINS Documentation needs to be update. I have tried to use it when I had questions and the info is either missing or is not update.

COINS has a convenient web platform with user friendly interfaces. Access to a wide variety of project data has been made easy.

Product is updated often, which is a pro & con. Some testing involved, but normally worth it for the enhancements.

I like that you can configure the system for the most part to the needs of your own business and the payroll module which really cuts the time it takes to process payroll.

My biggest issue is the frequency that updates are required as that requires quite a bit of testing for the end user.
