Optimized business operations through the NEWSTAR Ecosystem

Reviewed on 2024/09/18

Pros

Colen Built has utilized NEWSTAR’s suite of software implementations to streamline processes, better understand and respond to their customers, and modernize operations. Constellation offers a wide-range of products that helps manage the end-to-end operations of a homebuilder. The implementation of NEWSTAR is well organized, and other integrations can be setup with ease.

Cons

Some user interfaces are dated, although the functionality is more important to us than the UI. The expansive NEWSTAR system can take time to learn for new employees.

Good Software before cloud

Reviewed on 2020/02/11

Good overall but needed software that would work with other accounting software like quickbooks...

Good overall but needed software that would work with other accounting software like quickbooks online.

Pros

Purchase orders and the ability to build mateials list specific to vendors. Each Vendor had a pricing file and you could bring up a mateial list and change the vendor to see what their overall pricing would be.

Cons

Not very flexible. Especially with accounting.

Nice but needs work

Nice but needs work

Pros

The concept of it is great and it helped with very basic needs but I see it not being very useful once we grow

Cons

Not very user friendly initially. Needs a lot of training to use it and time to learn it. Once it's learned it's ok but not worth the
