Because our company doesn’t fit neatly into any mold, we struggled to find a project-based ERP solution that would meet our needs. Clearview was the only vendor that was willing to really listen to us and build the customizations we needed – with InFocus we didn’t have to change our business processes to make the solution work for us.

Clearview InFocus has proven to be a great fit for our small company! We were using Deltek Vision and the yearly maintenance fees were becoming way too costly for us, so we decided to go with Clearview’s very reasonably priced Cloud solution. Clearview provided us with a seamless conversion to InFocus. We now have a more user friendly, more efficient software that provides us with a cost savings! WIN-WIN-WIN!

As a mid-sized architectural design firm, we have found Clearview InFocus to be the best integrated accounting and project management software on the market. We migrated to InFocus in May 2010 after using two previous industry specific applications, which never performed as promised. The transition to InFocus was well managed and painless. InFocus is highly flexible and easy to learn and use. It is especially forgiving of input errors, with mistakes easily reversed or voided. As designers of large and highly complex institutional projects, we have sophisticated client invoicing needs. InFocus offers every conceivable billing scenario and allows for multiple billing types on the same project.

With over 25 years working as a CFO, this is the most stable financial reporting/ERP system I have worked with.We evaluated what we regarded as the most robust financial reporting/ERP systems on the market and chose InFocus for several reasons. It is technologically superior that its peer group (many of which are updated batch and post systems). InFocus was far and away the best choice when comparing features versus cost.

Clearview listens to the needs of the user and makes changes and improvements to the software to keep evolving with their clients.

We’ve achieved return on our investment in Clearview with efficiency improvements alone – we can get the detailed financial data we need quickly, right when we need it. Clearview has also added visibility and accountability. Now, every project manager knows exactly how much money is in their project budget and how much they’re spending, which is critical when you’re working big projects with tight budgets.

One of the biggest efficiencies we’ve seen with InFocus is closing our books at the end of each cycle. The complexity of our old ERP system meant we had to pay a consultant to help with that process, but within six months of implementing Clearview we no longer needed outside support and are now saving $50,000 a year on consulting fees.

With our wide variety of projects, billing rates and frequency of billing, invoicing in Quickbooks was a nightmare. Moving to InFocus has reduced our weekly invoicing time from an entire day to two hours and increased the percentage of work billed.

The project leaders are very impressed with the ability and integration of the software—it will definitely make their jobs easier to manage. Currently, we are using multiple excel spreadsheets where Clearview has it all at a keystroke!
