Perkins Builders Chooses Viewpoint V6 Software to Integrate Their Accounting and Operations

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After a thorough two-year search, Perkins Builders, a thriving construction company based in Western Australia with a focus on commercial infrastructure projects selected Viewpoint V6 Software to replace their aging technology.

“And for every question we asked of Viewpoint, the answer was yes.”

Key reasons for partnering with Viewpoint Construction Software include:

• Comprehensive construction-specific functionality.
• Need for accurate real-time information and analysis. With the Business Intelligence module, they’ll be able to drill down and ask more specific questions to extract the data they need to maintain a competitive advantage.
• Ability to create custom dashboards for senior management to easily keep up with project information and company performance.
• Ability to pay and accrue entitlements at different rates depending on the location of their employees and projects.
• Fast support response times – their current provider still hadn’t responded to a request more than 60 days later.

“Everything we wanted to do was already built into V6,” said, Greg Rowe, Finance Manager. “And for every question we asked of Viewpoint, the answer was yes.”

Perkins’ construction manager was immediately sold on the ability to get accurate job cost data instantly. Their current system could not incorporate the cost of materials associated with variations into a job, making it difficult to determine profitability at the end without the full picture. And Viewpoint was the only platform able to do this.

While implementing a new technology can be challenging, Andrew Witton, their IT Manager with more than 20 years of experience remarked that Viewpoint has the best implementation process he’d ever seen.
