"Excellent Job Costing but Pricey Modules"
4.5/5
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

I really appreciate FOUNDATION's ability to pull reports for job margins and cost code analysis. It's great for job costing on construction projects. I also like how all the auxiliary programs that FOUNDATION offers integrate really well into the system, making it easy to match all costs to budget items. Additionally, the FOUNDATION team put in a lot of effort to ensure our initial setup went smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

It is a little expensive. You have to pay for each module and program, and each time you want to add a module, your price increases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Foundation Software is a Critical key to keeping projects and our company in budget and profitable"
3.5/5
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

We need to ensure our reports are well-organized to effectively manage our budget and track all costs associated with each project, including cost codes. Additionally, we should consider summarizing all projects together. With this software, the possibilities are endless; we can track various expenses, including labor, equipment, materials, and overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

When I started using this software, I found it to be field-based, meaning you have to fill in each field or block to access different functions. It took me some time to get used to this approach, but I can't think of another way to perform these tasks. Once you become familiar with navigating the system, it’s worth it.

"Useful for payroll and employee management, not enough storage"
4/5
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

The business I worked for could use Foundation for almost all aspects of their construction business. I appreciated the frequent, timely updates, the multiple available reports we used for compliance tracking, and the ease of use for payroll recordkeeping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

We were not able to integrate Foundation with our heavy equipment usage and service schedule. It was also a daily annoyance that I could not "search" for an employee by their name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of Foundation"
3/5
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

Once the system is learned, it is relatively easy to use and easy to teach others to use. The project accounting module is good and easily adaptable to different accounting approaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

Support for problems is rarely addressed as quickly as you would like. You have to call and log a request for support and wait for them to call you back. Often when they call back you are not available.

Their support for the integration with Procore is largely non-existent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"All In One Solution"

"Platform is robust but the user interface needs work."
3/5
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

Has multiple modules like AR/AP/Payroll/Procurement and a user guide. Support staff is really helpful. Geared towards Construction Accounting. However, it seems competitors like Procore will fare better on project management features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

The user interface seems choppy. System reacts slow. Custom reports is limited, would like to do more with this. Lacks drag/drop features compared to systems like Procore. Its not browser based. There is also this clunky way of saving files in the system that makes you not want to save files for how slow it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Foundation Accounting Program"
4/5
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

The most useful items that we used repeatedly were documentation and their training courses to help understand the structure and interworkings. The Training provided the needed help with Report writing to get the full potential out of the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

The existing reports didn't always give you all the information needed. The need for custom Reports was a must. Foundation has been making improvements, but our best reports are still created in MS Query and pulled into Access or Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

There are lots of layers to Foundation and it can feel a little cumbersome. It also doesn't talk to our other software, which is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent detailed Job Costing"
4.5/5
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

The job costing module is fully integrated with the general ledger and payroll modules making the booking of entries into the various modules seamless. The financial reporting module is very flexible in terms of exporting to PDF, Excel or word formats and editing of reports in these formats is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

Some of the WIP reports are a little to basic and could do with more substantive reporting features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not for the Construction Industry"
2.5/5
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

There is not necessarily anything spectacular or that makes this program better than similar programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

This program, when used in the construction industry, makes it difficult to do certified payroll on wage scale projects. The reports are also not always able to provide the information in a way that is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
