"When we set out to look at software, we subscribed to the ‘best of breed’ approach to software providers."
"Previous manual method is that we would print plans and submit to trade. We would give them 3 days to get pricing back to us. Then about 1-2 day time frame to get pricing into the system. With the Bid Management program, it takes me only 20 minutes initially to set up a bid, attach documents to them publish to the bid. Our trades are required to get the bid back within 48 hours. If we accept their bid then it only take seconds to upload pricing. Factoring in all resources used, I would say about $2400 per bid in savings! And, it only took about 20 minutes to teach ourselves how to use the software. Because of our extensive use of the Trade Portal we require that all our trade partners have internet access. The people that have received bid requests have all responded positively. This saves them time and money also. We attach our plan documents in a dwf file and this way they don’t have to print plans either."
"We may start a project as a spec home just to get the foundation in during good weather, but they are usually sold soon after that and we customize the home for the client from there."
"Thank you so much for the rapid response. Your product continues to provide us an operational advantge over our competitors in this difficult market."
"Richard Boothman and the BuilderMT Plan Services group changed our business. We are now ahead of the curve with plan edits for our buyers. The turnaround time was a day, not weeks."
"Cassidi did a great job of responding to our help ticket with quick and informative e-mails, when we spoke on the problem Cassidi was patient, helpful and knowledgeable. This particular instance was more on the Sage side and I was in contact with Jeff at Sage who did a great job as well. I like how Cassidi kept on the topic until it was resolved even after it went into Jeff’s hands at Sage. Cynthia helped us over the phone after a couple of e-mails to search out some additional information. When we did speak with Cynthia on the phone we had three people listening in and working on different aspects of the call, we were getting additional information or testing commands with Cynthia’s direction. The whole process went quickly, and without a problem. We enjoyed how Cynthia was patient and knowledgeable on the topics along with providing some additional options for us to try. Both times we interacted with the Support services team we received quality service and resolution. We enjoyed the experience and are glad to know we have this level of quality for us to use. Thank you."
“What’s best is that these systems – BuilderMT, Sales Simplicity and Microsoft NAV – are all pre-integrated; they all talk to each other and data flows from one to the other as if were a single system.”
"Roger – I just wanted to thank you again for the outstanding support you provided this past Friday supporting a new server install. Builder MT worked perfect! Another testament to the company BuilderMT is and the lengths you go to service your clients. Your time and effort were very much appreciated."
"We couldn’t be happier with our choices and the quality people that all of these company have dedicated to us for the implementation."
“At any time, using the integration between Sales Simplicity, BuilderMT, and Sage, we can run a real-time gross profit number for any start and really get an idea of where we are on the job’s progress.”
“It has saved us a great deal of money already, Our cost for BPM was around $30,000, and we soon paid for the software platform with just this VPO process, and we have plans for several additional BPM processes in the works.”
"We use Timberline, and BuilderMT Works excellent, Vendors love the web access, and ease of use once set up is great. Only one caveat this is production builder software, unless you have an on staff estimator, then it can easily be adapted for custom too. As a production though you can take from contract to Vendor priced, account loaded for approvals and PO delivered in about 15 min. We do it every day and the money to our bottom line shows the savings."
"I use Builder MT and Timberline estimating for 575 housing starts per year. From cost entry to VPO’s and Purchase Orders, this system has integrated all of our processes into one streamlined process. With 3 divisions in 3 separate states, we have been able to use the same software with all accounting processes being handled at our corporate office. The ROI has been very impressive and I would recommend this software to anyone who wants to streamline processes and reduce overhead costs."
“I wanted to drop you a note and let you know how much I like the Phase Release and Supplier Contract parts of the BuilderMT WMS Purchasing Module. In this time of short staff, this has been a godsend. I am currently the only person in the Metropolitan Homes, purchasing department and must handle all responsibilities from bidding, negotiating, contracting, issuing and approving PO’s. We are in the process of actually starting a new community, and I was a little afraid of not having the time to bid the project, contract the Vendors, create the price data base, and issue PO’s quickly enough to fit our start schedule. The Phase Release and Supplier Contract has allowed me to enter my accepted bids, print a custom created Pricing Addendum form for my Vendor Contract, which automatically creates my cost data base, and allows me to send PO’s the same day! I’m no longer retyping bid numbers for contract documents, which has saved me so much time and aggravation. I don’t have to go through the creation of all of the estimates to pull and shove prices in and out. The process is clean and simple and I love it."
"At our end we have been experiencing a severe drop in customer service as support teams were slashed, and attitudes got dark. I wanted to make sure that I let you know that Kimbra Slusser remains an exceptional and pleasant to deal with person on all levels. She responds and acts quickly, consistently maintaining a helpful and positive attitude. Sharon just sent me an email that Kimbra gets an A++ for quickly resolving something she encountered this morning. It made me pretty darn happy to know we suffered little down time."
