“Simplicity of the program alongside of what it's capable of is really the main reason we love it.”
“I researched a total of (6) programs. The comparison was eye opening. The presentation and demo was very informative. No one from Pipeline pressured me during the process. I spoke with some of my subcontractors for feedback and they all liked Pipeline. They felt it was a user friendly program and that is important to me. If my subs like the program, they will be more apt to bid. Some programs were so costly and did not offer the features that Pipeline has. Overall Pipeline is the best option for the money.”
