Not perfect, but works fine for basic use **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2019 **What do you like best about STACK Build & Operate?** It's really easy to use and as long as it's well organized, it's a great way to avoid lots of printing and documents handling. **What do you dislike about STACK Build & Operate?** Few bugs, had to be really well managed, otherwise a very simple glitch seems to be an issue. And you can't scroll long documents quickly, nor can you search in it. You have to enter (therefore know) the page number to switch further in the document, but you will still be stuck with the up/down arrows to flip pages to find what you are looking for. **Recommendations to others considering STACK Build & Operate:** See it as a great tool for document management, but you can't only rely on it. **What problems is STACK Build & Operate solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's helpful that everyone, regardless of the trade, has to go to the same place to get documents, and all have same versions, updates (as long as they have similar access granted). ### 3. Document Control Specialist **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2019 **What do you like best about STACK Build & Operate?** SmartUse is simple to use, easy to implement and has some really great features. Their team is awesome to work with and resolves any self conflicted issues quickly. **What do you dislike about STACK Build & Operate?** It is only a PDF viewer at the moment. We would like to have a solution of viewing all types of project documents. **What problems is STACK Build & Operate solving and how is that benefiting you?** When using SmartUse there are no concerns if our field is viewing the correct revision. Everyone is working of the same set and redlines are shared so no one is out of the loop. The issue tracking feature is great for punchlist tracking and other items. ## STACK Build & Operate Discussions - [What is SmartUse used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-smartuse-used-for) - [View STACK Build & Operate pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/stack-build-operate/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-19+17%3A18%3A20+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=bb61c417-95c4-4a01-9889-20ef3a2c60e9&secure%5Btoken%5D=bbe81df4aa442cae94ce002132f199904f498280a6ffc1c280a4f711c8020cdf&format=llm_user) ## STACK Build & Operate Features **Field Management** - Field Collaboration - Field Coordination - Safety Compliance - Field Communication - Workforce Scheduling **Task Management** - Construction Accounting Tool Integrations - Construction Estimating Tool Integration - Construction Workforce Management Tool Integration - Project Tracking - Information Management - Communication and Collaboration **Document Management** - Centralized Platform - Versioning - Document Management - Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Technology - Linkage **Asset Management** - Resource Management - Timesheets - Visual Project Tracking - Reporting **Site Management** - Field Service Management - Field Collaboration - Mobile App - Field Reporting - Timesheets - Photo and Video Uploads - Workforce Scheduling **Site Management** - Site Progress Monitoring - Mobile Access ## Top STACK Build & Operate Alternatives - [Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)](https://www.g2.com/products/autodesk-forma-formerly-autodesk-construction-cloud/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (5,196 reviews) - [Procore](https://www.g2.com/products/procore/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (4,104 reviews) - [Fieldwire by Hilti](https://www.g2.com/products/fieldwire-by-hilti/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (525 reviews)
