Customer Testimonials
The reports and access to individual job information together with debtors’ reports saves so much time. Great control of the purchase ordering system seeing at a glance what elements of an order are still outstanding. TMS Contract Costing has linked the accounts function with operations and commercial departments allowing for a more inclusive approach to job costing and understanding of how contracts are running and contributing to the overall turnover and profit for the business.
TMS Support is comprehensive – from the dedicated portal to lodge tickets assistance is then just an email away from a situation being resolved or indeed remote access session complete with telephone call onto our own computer showing how to remedy a situation or a quick ‘how to do something’ session showing how to carry out a new element of the programme.
We realised that we needed a system in place to help with the rapid growth of the company. We were doing a huge amount of manual work, outside of our finance system and, as we kept growing, this was becoming more and more time consuming. We needed a system that would automate our processes and grow with us. The business operates out of various European countries and we needed a system that was flexible enough to adapt to the complexes of working abroad. This is where TMS Contract Costing came in. Not only was the system adaptable to our needs, without any additional bespoke work, but it is also one of the most comprehensive construction solutions on the market.
I have no doubt we will implement more modules as they become a requirement. Combine this with the fact that it is hosted, so we have 24/7 access from anywhere, and that the system is constantly developed, we have a system that will grow with us.
Having been on an old legacy system for the past decade or so, we decided it was time to revisit the market and upgrade. The software we had been using was old and ‘clunky’.
One of our main requirements was that we wanted a hosted solution so that we didn’t have to worry about upgrading all of our infrastructure. We also needed the solution to be customisable to fit our needs. We found some of the software we looked at to be too rigid in what it could do.
TMS Contract Costing provided us with everything that we needed. Modern, customisable, hosted, easy to use and on a subscription basis. It ticked every box.
