Siding installer

Great program that offers alot for a company such as courses, templates and much more.

Estimator

It provides us with accurate information from the field, and people on the field get information from us at the office, so for us is a very efficient communication tool.

Project Engineer

Its real-time update features allow for smooth flow of Project.

Everyone is connected, and we are all able to see in real time what is going on in each project, from daily logs, to notes and marks on plans.

Owner

I pin drawings and notes, and it saves a lot of back-and-forth.

Estimator/PM

It allows me to capture all of the changes that the design team makes, even if they "forget" to mention it in their write-up.

For an estimator, the document "Compare" feature is the most important.

Production Coordinator

You have to either take a photo or use one previously uploaded.

It is missing a few features that interest me but they are supposedly in releases down the line.

Estimator/Manager

Also needs to have a contact list where you can have customers in the list and then be able to link them to jobs or different tasks so if someone needs to contact a supplier about a delivery, they can easily see who they need to call.

Site Engineer

We use man power & cost to track all sorts of things such as the size of a repair or the quantity of steel used. If we would be able to change the title of these it would be a massive help especially to those new to the projects, with helping their understanding of  how our systems work.

Estimator/project manager

I love the precision picture taking, "on the spot" notifications for every member when changes to projects are made, easy note-taking on top of plans and task managing.

Field Engineer

Great that you can track tasks from text messages, emails, images, attachments, etc... Like video option but would like to see that available outside of tasks 7 attach to plan functions on all platforms even PC.

Chief Estimator

The feature I least like about Fieldwire is not being able to label our construction plans with the same number/description when they are in separate folders.  

Operations Manager

I feel like it should have the ability to set a time a task is due to be done and have Fieldwire send a reminder if a task has not been completed by due date.  

Architect

I typically make a pdf and import into another software for drawing or taking notes; however, I would prefer to make handwritten notes within the Fieldwire application.

Not to mention the ability to link plans, RFIs, files, and forms to ensure small details and changes aren't missed.

I use a Android Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5g, images are horribly compressed and sometimes looked pixelated. Yet with my iphone 6 (several years old) images look regular.

Project Manager

RFIs cannot be created through the software.

I really enjoy using this program and will recommend it to all my follow roofers.

I've used this for accessing drawing files while on site with the contractors and documenting items on punch lists.

The tasks allow for project tracking, documentation, and knocking out your punch list.

It will not allow saving a copy of files on the android device and always says "saving failed" Other than that, the platform is solid so far.

Design Manager

The ability to link associated drawings and details to floor plans saves a huge amount of time every day.

I have a full document folder and drawings accessible on my phone in 3 clicks and its always up to date

It can be a little tricky getting used to how to name drawings so they a uploaded as a new revision rather than a new drawing but its nothing you cant get past

Construction Administrator

The use of voice dictation to create punch list items speeds up the process significantly.

Their forms tab is a great way to ensure paperwork such as check sheets.

Senior Interior Designer

Comments on pins for tasks created help track workflow seamlessly around the office

The customizable reports that can be issued to my team and the contractor's team are easy to read and you can input any type of information you can think of.  

Their needs to be a better organizational structure for uploading images to fieldwire via app.  

HR/ Fleet/ Safety Manager

Experience using this software as far as tracking purposes is very good.

Should be able to search by date range of when image taken or file uploaded as well.

Currently this software is limited for my use for field reports and punch lists.

Images should be searchable and attachable to files without them originally taken within a Fieldwire Form .

There should be a batch photo placement for taking photos placed on the plan

I presume this is because of the local connection speed or the device we use to view the files.

Director

Integration of photographs and notes with plan positioning.

Site supervisor 

Would like to access daily reports on site by week or month to narrow search.

The pages are automatically processed upon uploading and sent to everyone for easy access.

CEO 

No take off feature available to integrate with excel spreadsheets.

Site Manager

The option of marking files is quite archaic, the tools are very old-fashioned.

The software makes accessing plans and collaborating with your project team a breeze.

We should be able to name the same page numbers in different folders !!

Ease to access information for field workers when working in areas with no reception or outside working hours.  

Creating a new project, especially naming all the shots one by one, is atrocious sometimes.

Should be easier to export or print directly from application, rather than sending a web link via email.

Photo documentation and daily reports are the easiest and best

Overall, Fieldwire has many features our office can utilize but we are still in trial phase for it.

Value for money

Content Creator

Odoo delivers CRM, e-commerce, accounting, inventory, project management, website builder, and more in a unified platform for one subscription plan.

Lead Designer

Odoo’s biggest strength is its modular design...you can pick and choose what apps you need (CRM, inventory, accounting, project management, e-commerce, HR, etc.) and grow by adding more later.

Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder

I can access this system with my cell phone while sitting at the dentist office waiting. As we continue to expand into various countries and subsequently multiple currency accounts, odoo can manage them all. Since we transitioned away from quickbooks, the audit trail is much cleaner and the auditors can simply go through their process.

System Admin

It is an all-in-one suite that eliminates the need for multiple, disconnected software systems by centralising functions like CRM, sales, and accounting.

Omni Associate

Odoo also automates many stuffs such as invoicing, workflow approvals and follow ups which saves a lot of time.

Odoo support didnt show the minimum responsibility regarding this big error and considered it as an inconvenience situation and the only thing they offered is to create a new account and told me to redo the wholework myself again. Since my contract with ADG is paused due to delay in project delivery several times.

Founder

Everything you need from the start of your vision to your exit plan. If you have multiple businesses or different ventures, you can manage everything as the admin without it interfering with each business.

Its open-source flexibility allowed us to develop industry-specific modules and connectors like WooCommerce to Odoo integration, which we offer via our Prefortune app store.

When viewing things at the top level, I dislike seeing where an invoice belongs to within an entity since you cannot tell while running a report.

Manager - Digital Consulting

Odoo helps us streamline functions, centralize data and run business smoothly at a cheap price.

Compliance

What I liked least about Odoo is that some features can feel a bit rough or not fully polished, and you sometimes need technical skills to customize things properly.

Dropshipper

I like that Odoo puts sales, invoices, CRM, stock, and accounting in one place.

What I liked most about Odoo is that everything is in one place, like CRM, accounting, ops… so you don’t switch tools all the time.

We were forced to hire someone to repair the api, however once done it will transfer transactions from another platform which is acceptable.

Technical Assistant

It has a lot of tools that helped streamline our processes, especially with automating tasks like accounting and sales. Once you get past the initial learning curve, it really improves the way your business runs.

Manager

Great possibilities included into Odoo (autocompletion, AI to scan accountancy, documents and data together, bank reconciliation, asset's management, contacts, duplicate detection, seamless year and processes...)

Also, the data models used internally are perfect for my services company, specially the timesheet entries that convert to cost in the analytic accounting, an essential feature that allows us to know if a project is profitable or not.

Managing Director

As soon as I started giving him negative feedback on my initial experience (documentation was COMPLETELY out of date - Support had to send me a totally different workflow to get basic task of connecting bank accounts set up) and the fact that I was concerned what else might be out of date...he flippantly said that their docs are often outdated and that's just how it is....then HUNG UP on me mid-sentence (if line disconnected, I'd assume he'd call me back - but never did).

The user interface is intuitive, and the software offers a high degree of customization, allowing functionalities to be tailored to the specific needs of each business.

Sr analyst

Opensource ERP software offers wide range of applications under one umbrella, such as HR, CRM, sales etc

So this company tries to sell you a $3500 subscription for them to navigate you through the whole thing and they also sell a monthly subscription for $46 and some change. When I asked the person, [sensitive content hidden] that was in charge of my account to assist me in getting informed with the platform, he said that that is not in his job description, but prior to that he said if I needed any help navigating the system to contact him.

Accounting, Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Point of sale, Project, Timesheet, Restaurant, Website, Ecommerce, CRM, Studio.

It has a bunch of different apps that you can add depending on what your business needs. Whether it’s for CRM, accounting, inventory, or project management, Odoo has something for almost everything. Plus, since it’s open-source, you can customise it to fit exactly what you want.

Systems Engineer

It was easy to track the cost of raw materials, production yields, and all could be traced back to real time financial statements This gave me a better view of the profit point on the production run.

General Manager

Additionally, Odoo offers flexibility for customization—from adding custom fields and tables to integrating seamlessly with other systems.

Customer Service and Social Media Manager

With the sales forecast, we have an insight as to what steps to do to improve our sales. When problem arises, the customer service can be easily contacted and they are mlke than willing to help us with our odoo concern.

Financial Operations Manager

Now all of our payroll to inventory valuation is centralized, enabling us to be scalable and lower overhead costs.

Since Odoo is modular we can run accounting, inventory, manufacturing all in one platform.

So far my suggestion is to enable the possibility of segmenting products by currency, so that customers can see the products they want to show them in their currency.

Shareholder

A wide range of features that easily adapt to various types of businesses, offering fast implementation, excellent performance, and outstanding support service.

It was created under the partner’s internal account, which contradicts Odoo’s customer ownership policy.

Engineer

I tried to use Odoo several times as CRM for marketing deals, but the interface and the way to manage the objects created -even if it's rich of features- does not suit my need.

Co-Founder

I was sold Odoo.sh with written assurances of free migration, only to find out after paying $1,785.60 that my database version (18.3) was not supported on SH.

MGR Technical Training

Additionally, it facilitates the management of each employee by handling their personal information, documents, contracts, and contact details.

Analyst

Occasional performance issues with larger data or many apps enabled.

Its automation features streamline operations, making workflows faster, easier, and less labor-intensive. While it’s impossible to highlight all of Odoo’s advantages in one review, I firmly believe that Odoo is well on its way to becoming the #1 business management solution worldwide.

Storyteller

Odoo is cost-effective compared to the combined licensing fees of Salesforce, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and a separate e-commerce platform, Odoo is a bargain.

Manager and Software Architect

I have been involved with this ERP for more than 5 years and use it daily in my business and with my customers.

Associate Professor of Law

Its advanced learning management platform has an intuitive interface that makes it for us to provide our students with e-learning services.

With a limited budget it would have made more sense if it was recommended by the sales rep that I buy one user and purchase customer service packages to help me implement it and to be trained on it. While I am hoping to get it going and rolled out soon, I want to warn small business people that they must understand that it is not easy to migrate information from former applications.

Overall, Odoo gives us the control and scalability we need for small to mid-size businesses looking to automate and grow.

It captures all the data that you require for your business and integrates many aspects of the business workflow.

the support is extremely slow and almost non-existent in my experience and the services are slow and difficult to learn...

Odoo’s greatest strength lies in its ability to integrate everything a business might need—whether it’s a small, medium, or large enterprise—into one unified platform.

Product Owner

Odoo provides a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective ERP solution that suits a wide range of business needs.

The configuration is a little messy, have a lot of options diseminated in many ways (developer mode, non developer mode, inside the application, outside at configurations..)

Email invoices, able split the pdf easily and able detech the info and auto capture.
