"With over 25 years in the building industry and over half of that devoted to streamlining purchasing departments processes and procedures, BuilderMT is the best system in our industry. So much so, that when I started Builder Purchasing Services, it was the system I chose along with Timberline accounting. Its integration with Timberline has been a blessing for our builder clients that have Timberline accounting. We are able to integrate our information out of BuilderMT directly with their accounting system. It’s like they have a full service purchasing department in house without the cost of personnel or systems to do so. If they don’t have Timberline accounting, we are able to provide real time job cost management for them through our integrated systems. BuilderMT has an online VPO process that my clients can access from the field and directly integrate into BuilderMT. By utilizing this process, our builders never have their trades working without a purchase order and since it integrates into BuilderMT, the VPO’s are reflected into their budget upon submittal. This process eliminates surprises from Trades turning in invoices at a later date.I have used and/or looked into all of the systems mentioned in this discussion, but ultimately went with BuilderMT to run my company."
"I just finished up a support call with Donna and I must tell you how thankful I am for her. She is “A-1”, top-notch, just plain fantastic. Thank you for hiring and keeping the best employees during these most challenging times. Specifically, she solves my problems, with thoughtfulness, anticipating potential pitfalls, she looks forward to future possibilities and does this all with a very sweet and kind attitude. From a business/sales side of things, she is also sure to inform us of BuilderMT products that may be of use to us. Thank you again and we wish you and your team the best success as we seek to grow amid adversity."
"Sales Simplicity Software is a great product with a terrific team of people. The software is loaded with user-friendly features that streamline and greatly improve customer relationship management and the preparation of document packages. The Sales Simplicity implementation team was terrific, and they handled the entire software installation, leaving us free to focus on hands-on learning with the CRM and other tools before going live. Their on-site training program was stellar; all very well-organized and executed by veteran IT professionals. We are excited to have the software up and running in record time and ahead of schedule."
“We went with BuilderMT because they did have Wireless Scheduling on the BlackBerries with Nextel. So my superintendents can walk into a house and check off any phases being completed and we have realtime information updating our master schedule at all times."
"With BuilderMT as the core driving force, we can ensure that we are making the profits we want out of each and every one. That integration alone increases our option profitability by 20% over other systems, which I know is true because I’ve worked with other systems at other home building companies."
“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.”
"The most recent benefit we have seen from BuilderMT is that we were able to add 25 starts this year, without “ adding any more staff. That’s a 20% volume scale up, without the need for additional staff."
"I wanted to take a minute to tell you what a great support staff you have. Too many times all we hear is criticism; not enough people take the time to praise. Over the past couple of days I have worked with Rita and Kim in support. Their knowledge and patience is truly unparalleled. They took the time to answer my questions and solve my problems. I just thought you should know (I’m sure you do already) what terrific women you have on your team."
"Builder MT offers the most comprehensive on-line help and training I have ever encountered from a software company. Builder MT’s customer service is off the charts. My IT consultant agrees. The combination of Purchasing and Scheduling with Trade Portal makes the managing of multiple projects with fewer Trade Partners possible, reducing build time and overhead."
"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."
"I am fast to let folks know when I am less than pleased. Let me be just as fast to says a special thanks to Donna for answering her cell phone on Saturday and getting me connected with BMT support after our server hard drive went out and we completed the replacement. Top notch customer service."
"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."
"Thank you so much for the rapid response. Your product continues to provide us an operational advantge over our competitors in this difficult market."
"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."
"Reference on Donna is easy: Donna Barden has been an awesome help to BBH in assisting with the formatting of profit reports and daily reports. Donna also assists us with year-end payroll, walking through each and every step. Without Donna’s assistance with some of our reports and year end, it would take us most likely double to triple the time for us to do it on our own, therefore saving the company money. Donna is always flexible when we have a delay and can’t make a meeting and works within our schedules. If Donna doesn’t know the answer, she gets back with us in a reasonable amount of time. Donna has also assisted other members of our teams on various tasks, and I have had nothing but great things said about her. We would, without hesitation, be honored to let any builder know how very capable she is."
