About Knowify

Know­ify is a mobile contractor management solution for small to medium contracting businesses and construction professionals who want to streamline their workflow for managing projects, scheduling, contracts, invoices, change orders, purchasing, and more. Users are able to track time, submit expenses, and check work orders from any mobile device, as well as sync data in real time.

Knowify provides built-in job costing and project management tools that enable users to estimate jobs and track performance. Project management features are fully integrated with purchasing and timekeeping for real-time monitoring against labor and materials budgets. The platform enables users to prepare bids for commercial GC jobs and contracts for property owners with e-signature capabilities. The built-in change order feature allows users to send change orders out for acceptance while on the go.

Dispatch management features allow users to create service tickets to send to technicians in the field. The platform supports both time and materials, as well as fixed price service tickets. Notifications are sent to on-site workers via mobile app, including additional photos, notes, and more. Users are able to view work orders, clock in and out, as well as add materials while on the go. Maintenance contract management tools enable users to schedule, track and bill service appointments with clients. Users can also get real-time cost and revenue data while jobs are in progress.

Knowify’s invoicing tools help users with billing time and materials, including progress billing, and milestone billing, as well as percentage completion, line-item-based, and more. Users can create AIA-style g702/g703 applications for payments to be submitted to commercial general contractors. Knowify’s mobile app for Android and iOS comes with features for GPS-verified clock in / clock out, timekeeping for on-site crew, and classic timecards. Users can integrate with QuickBooks to sync their list of vendors, classes, purchases, and employees for increased accountant productivity.

    I have used the demo version of the software and I can say it is great software with many features that can allow users to grow their businesses and make profits.

    Pros

    It has an organized dashboard and many features.
    Users can easily start a new project, add a description, divided the job into phases, and set the budget for each phase. The budget is detailed into materials, labor, and subcontractor costs. This can help users estimate the cost Vs profits for each phase.
    The program makes it easy to calculate materials and labor costs, just add the price per unit and charge per hour then add the total amount of units and the total number of hours.
    I like that data can easily sync with other accounting software like QuickBooks.
    Users can create work schedules for their staff and send them messages on their Knowify mobile app to give them tasks and the time frame.
    I like the time tracker and the detailed reporting module.
    Finally, I like that it is a paperless based system. Users can send emails with their proposals for e-signature. Also, they can send invoices with links for online payment.

    Cons

    Knowify is great, but it requires a high level of experience with similar apps. On the other hand, it is appreciated that newcomers can download a demo version to practice, also the software has built-in user service templates.

    Quick billing, detailed job tracking, and flexibility.

    Pros

    It's easy to use. The layout of menus makes it incredibly easy to navigate. The importing into Quickbooks happens lightning fast. There's a myriad of ways to handle POs making billing incredibly convenient. And the reports are useful.

    Cons

    Searches can be difficult to return to. They lack pagination customization. Sometimes I'd like to see 100+ results per screen!
