  • 1.  New accounting software being sought

    Posted 04-16-2025 08:26

    I am beginning the process to replace QuickBooks as our accounting software.  I would appreciate suggestions and contact information for companies to consider.

    We are a site contractor in Florida.  About 140 employees, $50m revenue.

    We use Bid2Wind for estimating.  I use Excel to enhance QB for our PMs to manage and forecast projects.

    I have a contact to speak with the Viewpoint people because of the affiliation to B2W, but my mind isn't made up at all.

    Steve, we use Spectrum and it has everything we need - we are a heavy civil general contractor focused on road & bridge work for the state and municipalities.

    With new products I have tried to keep everything under the Trimble umbrella, so I think if you're already using Bid2Win then Spectrum could be a good choice. Vista is also an option, but I have heard that it has a lot of extra functionality to satisfy MEP customers, if you're doing site work Spectrum should have everything you need. 

    Best of luck with your implementation, ERP migrations are no fun, however the easiest seem to be when QB is the former product.
