Archdesk

A business management platform for construction companies

About Archdesk

Archdesk is a business management platform that’s adapted to your specific needs. It mirrors your company’s structure and optimises every workflow, giving you full visibility and control of your business.

From specialist to enterprise contractors, get a complete overview of every project in one place. Seeing your data in real-time lets you identify possible problems and make better decisions, empowering you to always finish projects on time and within the budget.

Archdesk gives you access to project management features like scheduling, RFIs and document management. Financial features like budgeting, procurement and invoicing. And operations features like reporting, supplier management and subcontractor management.

Because Archdesk is modular, each feature can be used independently of each other - or together as one multi-functional ERP. You choose how you want it.

You can also access HR, timesheets, forms, asset management and many more features that will help you run a successful business.

An open API calms any integration nerves. For example, Archdesk integrates with any accounting system, like Xero and Quickbooks, saving your team from repetitive, mundane data entry - and the mistakes these cause.

    There is no doubt in my mind that we wouldn't have grown as far as we have without Archdesk. Knowing my company has a solid structure and system in place, I have every confidence that our growth will continue and will be manageable.

    Pros

    We looked at so many products that would fit our business and kept hitting dead ends. Then we found Archdesk and one of the key things for me was it's easy to use interface. I had confidence straight away in training current and future staff to use it with it's current and 'app' like approach. It's fully customisable and the support staff are very quick to respond to our queries. This is essential for a young business like ours that needs help putting systems in place to help us go to the next level. Every body within the company uses it now and the processes make it so easy for everyone to see what the next step is for each project. From enquiry to estimating and all the way through to project cost analysis.

    Cons

    It's hard to say anything negative really. Occasionally there is a minor glitch in the system presumably because they are making constant improvements. These are always dealt with quickly.

    From the very start it has been a great experience, support is first class. We found the different levels of elements in the software covers a lot of what we want, there is a few things that could help if changed but they seem very keen to develop with you.

    Pros

    Scheduling and budgeting is a huge part of what we like about the software.

    Cons

    The link up with Sage is the weak point of the software, it has improved but could still do with more work. Would be good if we could make are invoices abit more bespoke as well.

    Incredibly Disappointing

    Reviewed on 2021/07/02

    Terrible.

    Terrible.

    Pros

    I am struggling to write anything positive about the system and can only say that the people are polite.

    Cons

    Archdesk is incredibly clunky, and inaccurate. It increases the duplication of administrative processes and worryingly it requires users to maintain documents outside the program, such as spreadsheets, to keep track of work. Of more concern is that the system fails in basic auditing and compliance. Staff were able to delete documents and evidence from the system without the Compliance Director being informed. With Grenfell being at the forefront of the digital revolution within the Construction Industry the accurate recording of works and data is absolutely vital.
    Our Finance department loathes the system due the incredibly poor integration with Xero and inaccuracies the system causes.

    I find Archdesk very user friendly and is suitable even for the people who have limited tech knowledge. I find that it is suited for every role within a construction company from estimating to accounts to general admin and even the engineers.

    Pros

    I like that everything for each project is in one place. All members are able to view all of the critical information for their role, we dont have to do any double entry or input into multiple CRM systems / folders.

    Cons

    There isnt much to say here the only thing I can think of is that you can only put one overall price in for a job and in construction, there can be many possibilities for costs, so to be able to put a few lines under contract price would be great.

    Archdesk - Review from a user in the accounts team

    Reviewed on 2022/11/24

    Pros

    I like how user friendly the software is for all ages/ abilities . We can go to one place to find out all the information we need rather than having to click through numerous folders/ software. Every department in the company can update it so that we are all working and updating information in the same place

    Cons

    I sometimes find that there are certain things that are a bit limiting. We sometimes have multiple priced items on a quote and Archdesk only allows for one line for the value of the job on the front page, other than this there is nothing.
