What do you like best about Spectrum?

One of the key strengths of Spectrum software is its robust accounting functionality. It provides tools for managing accounts payable and receivable, payroll, general ledger, and job costing. The software streamlines financial processes, making it easier to track project expenses, generate accurate reports, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

Spectrum software also excels in project management. It offers features for estimating and bidding, project scheduling, resource allocation, and change order management. These tools enable project managers to effectively plan, monitor, and control project timelines, budgets, and resources.

Another notable aspect of Spectrum software is its document management capabilities. It allows users to store, organize, and access project documents and drawings in a centralized repository. The software's version control and document tracking features help ensure that the most up-to-date information is always available to team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

It's worth noting that Spectrum software may have a learning curve, especially for users who are new to construction management software. Some users have reported that the software's extensive features and customization options can be overwhelming initially. Additionally, the cost of implementing and maintaining the software should be considered, especially for smaller construction companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great ERP for Midsized Specialty Construction!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Spectrum?

Spectrum is an all-around program that handles every aspect of our business with one system. Every aspect of our business are able to utilize the different features of the program to help streamline our work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

Custom reporting is either cumbersome to do yourself or very costly to have Viewpoint write a custom report. Being a small business it is difficult to set aside the time to write the reports with Crystal Reporting but at the same time it is expensive to get Viewpoint or another company to do it for us as well.

"ERP focused on Construction"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Spectrum?

Spectrum is an ERP system with a focus on the construction industry.

Spectrum makes it easy to get data from the database via infolink.

Spectrum is continuously working to improve the platform's overall functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

Spectrum is lacking in Materials Management, Human Resources, and Equipment modules.

However, they are working to make improvements.

The other con of Spectrum is the design of parts of its database. Some tables are hard to find as they were created under the old module name and since have changed the modules name so not all tables start with the same prefix.

The other issue with the tables is that the values that they use. For example, the year column for 1 table will be 4 digits, while the year in another table will be a 2 digit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
