Pros

“Payments and approvals from the client side are managed through one portal, thus making it easier for us to follow the trail of any deposits or milestone payments down to the signed contract.”

Eri D.

Founder

“Assuming that everything works properly when syncing with QuickBooks, then there is sufficient information coming through for us to be able to recognize transactions rather than having to recreate them.”

Eri D.

Founder

“Customer service has always been satisfactory in answering basic queries through email and messaging, although complicated synchronization problems may take time to solve.”

Eri D.

Founder

Pros

“Bolster’s estimating software has many useful tools, and when building an estimate, we have ENDLESS options including a prebuilt library of items we can edit to fit our needs.”

Quentin M.

Adm

With that said, there are some hassles we’ve learned to navigate when creating a proposal; when clicking the “clear changes” button, just know it will get rid of ALL work including anything saved, and when changing the theme (cover photo) of an estimate - while inside the preview layout - it will automatically change it on ALL other proposals currently using that same theme, without warning.

Quentin M.

Adm

“The customer support is everything you could ask for — they take a complex product and make it genuinely easy to use. And the fact that it lets clients make interior design choices right inside the platform is an amazing add-on that sets it apart from everything else I've tried.”

Liliana W.

Manager

Cons

“Another hindrance lies with the method of paying: fees incurred from using ACH payments, coupled with the maximum fee charged on each project, can cause a large project for our clients to be broken into smaller parts that may create problems when matching the deposit to the invoice at month end.”

Eri D.

Founder

“Did not integrate with Quickbooks, Employee Clock in/clock out feature did not work properly, 3D rendering software was glitchy and not user friendly, no way to capture allowances for finishing selections, pricing increase was over 400% after first year.”

Melissa M.

Owner

“The problem here is that the videos showcase stuff you can't access (or the videos are outdated and need to be removed from their directory).”

Keith J.

Owner

Cons

“We were not allowed to actually use the product before "signing up" which is code for signing their contract that locks you into paying for their product BEFORE using it, no matter how terrible the product is.”

Clint R.

Operations

“They will do everything in their power to lock you into a year contract, and then when their software underperforms and is virtually unusable, they will tell you it’s your fault for signing the contract.”
