A-Systems JobView Reviews

Excellent customer service, easy to understand and use, comprehensive reports, and no complaints to report.

I have been using A Systems/JobView for job cost accounting since the 1980's and have always been a fan; converting the accounting department of a small business from paper ledgers to computer-assisted accounting was a wonderful learning experience in the 80's and the customer support has always been amazing. We have used this software to manage a multi-million dollar environmental and demolition business and subsequently manage a much smaller specialty contracting business when that division was sold in the early 2000's; it is a wonderful management tool for both. The software is user friendly and generates every report you could possible need.

I haven't found any cons to report in regards to cost accounting.

I've been in this industry for 30 years and have found JobView to be the most complete product. It's an easy to learn and all inclusive system. If there is an issue their support team is very responsive and great to work with.

Job Costing, Certified Payroll reports and the support are all top notch! AR/AP is very easy to navigate.

Would like to see more tutorials for the lesser used items - I do use the ones available which is very helpful.

Overall experience is great! Have been using the software for 15+ years now. Operating the system if great and seamless job costing.

Customer Service friendly! Navigation of the system. Will re-write program as needed to fit our needs. User Conferences.

The only con is we are EST time so we have to wait until 10am if we run into any issues.

A-Systems Job View, from an admin point of view-I believe that this program is great. I like that it is not easy for anyone working in the program to "delete" or erase anything that they are doing. Job View tracks every entry with the person who is logged identification. Checks and invoices can not be altered after the fact which is great in my opinion. This program tracks job cost with ease and precision. Tech support is top notch!! I love working in this program.

Easy to work with.
Easy to track job costs.
Can't alter checks after the fact.
Tech support is top notch.

If you do not back up before posting, it's stuck in there.

Reviewed 3 software programs originally and picked this one and I would not change to any other one. Very satisfied.

Worked with A-Systems for 3+ years now. Good Training & Support. Always willing to hear about your questions or issues and provide a response or fix to the system. As a user you mean something to this company. Offers annual users conference to cover system updates for improvement and user feedback.

A-Systems is harder than expected on multi state payroll. It is capable of doing some but has some drawbacks.

A-Systems is a great program, I'm pretty sure here at Streets we will be using for another 30 years!

Streets, LLC is a Mechanical Contractor that has been using this program for around 30 years now. When I first started using this program, I was in charge of payroll for all our construction & service employees and doing accounts receivable. I did not know all the tips and tricks this program can actually do.
In 2021 I took over doing ap's and the monthly books. I have learned so much more what this program actually can do as far as job detail listing & reports that you can generate. The break down this program can do helps so much when it comes to keeping track of job cost for several individual jobs and when I say Several at time's we have over 40 construction jobs, along with a Service Department that takes calls and manages over 125 Service Maintenance Contracts for our customers. Jobview also has an amazing Payroll system. It is very detail oriented and handles all the reporting you can think of when it comes to payroll!

This program is very in-depth, and precise to me. Every transaction that is processed/posted you can see which user has done so and able to track back and fix this issue if there is any. I love how it keeps track of the changes, so nothing can be done without a trail of posting's who has done so.

I also love attending the conferences, because just when you think you know the system there is always new tips and tricks you learn, and they always want our feedback to add new features that will help out the users even more.
If there's ever any questions, or reports we can not figure out, A-Systems is just a phone call away!

I really have no Con's, If we need this system to be able to do something it may not do, we make that phone call and 99% of the time the system does what we need it to do, we just didn't realize it did.

Since 1983 our company has been using JobView. This software is a huge asset to our company! A-Systems JobView is a program you can depend on to streamline accounting and job management. This program includes basic easy to use features such as Accounts Payable and Receivable as well as wide a variety of features that are customizable to meet your company’s needs. The overall functionality of JobView exceeded my expectations instantly.

The process of Accounts Payable in JobView is streamlined. Putting everything you need into one section allowing for easy tracking of vendors, invoices, due dates, and more.
Billing and Invoicing within JobView is a breeze. The program accommodates a wide variety of formats you can customize to meet you company’s needs.
By having the ability to integrate other programs with A-System JobView I can process a perfect payroll within two hours (this use to be an all-day task).
The staff are consistently demonstrating that they care about their clients they are ready and willing to help. They also ask for feedback on ways to improve the program.

Rarely there are glitches within the system that make reports hard to read, but with a quick phone call it is usually resolved right away or the next day.

Overall, A-Systems is a great program for a mid-sized construction company. It is easy to operate and training new employees on the program is simple. I use the program for several companies. They are easy to set up and works great for other industries.

Very easy program to use and does everything necessary for a mid sized construction company. Reports are accurate and easily readable. We have had this program for over 20 years. There is continuous improvements that make your job simple.
Importing from our B2W System to A-System for payroll has made our payroll function streamlined.
Technical support is # 1 - very little if any technical issues, but more so user error that I need step by step help to reverse or correct.

I have not mastered the Work In Progress on this system, as I am old school and use our CPA supplied Excel sheet. This is something I should really do.

I have been through 4 software implementations in my career and A-Systems has by far been the easiest! The A-Systems team has been the easiest to work with after the installation. I highly recommend A-Systems JobView!

The first thing my boss liked is the pricing of the software. But as the person who sets up the software, trains other uses and uses the software myself, the best thing about A-Systems is how easy it is to learn & use the software.

The support team is amazing! When you call you get a person answering the phone right away and not automation cyber-space. When something isn't working correctly, which happens with all software, the team is right on top of it. They even take suggestions for improvement and implement them for all to use at no extra cost.

The user conferences are amazing experiences that allowed me to talk to other users in the same industry and see how they use the software and where I can make changes to better utilize the software. I also get to learn all the new improvements and be reminded of features that we didn't implement originally and may have forgotten about. bit need to be using.

The certified payroll portion of the payroll module needs to be more robust to handle the scope of work that we do. We have employees that perform multiple classifications of work in a single day on a certified payroll job. I have to manually calculate what the employee will be paid per hour for each classification. If everyone had the same fringe benefits it would work, but our fringe varies per employee.

This is my first experience with a job costing system, second accounting system. The staff has been extremely knowledgeable and available when you need them. You can tell they have been there long enough to know the system inside and out. Overall I have enjoyed learning the program and working with their team.

Can import just about anything from a CSV file, Job costing is easy to understand and use.
They are very good about taking submissions from people and actually implementing them. Each version update offers something new.
If you have the data query view installed you can come up with just about any report you need.

Not a huge fan of the post type accounting system. Making mistakes can make the back end look messy when trying to resolve it.
It has kind of a windows 3.1 look and feel to it,
Their cloud services are remote access not web based. (This can also be a pro)
I wish you could have more than one window open at a time sometimes you need the info from two screens.

I have used JobView for more than 12 years. I love how user friendly the software is. If I have a problem, I can call support and get a response within the hour if not immediately. It has great job cost capability and reports that make it easy to know how your projects are doing. This software is a step above Quickbooks but a step below Sage Timberline. Great software!

User friendly, reliable software support, reports export to excel, software is updated often, job cost reports are easy to read.

There are times that the software has a glitch but we are able to connect with support quickly to resolve the issue.

We use this system every day and it never ceases to amaze me. My overall experience is excellent. I would not want to work without it.

I appreciate two things the most: Retainage Management and our local representative, Danielle Klopfenstein. No other software can come close to managing retainage the way A-Systems JobView does. I have dealt with many issues within our company that Danielle's expertise helped us overcome using this software in ways we did not yet understand. At times, I have had to contact A-Systems support. They also have never failed to help. Company Support makes us even more fond of this software.

This really is not a con, but I use an Excel spreadsheet to check the retainage on a Sub-Contractors Invoice before I enter it in A Systems. I don't know if that could be available within A-Systems or not. Anytime I have had an issue with A-Systems JobView, I have found that the fault was mine - a lack of knowledge of how to use the software - not the software itself.

I spent two years deciding on software, and I'm SO GLAD that I went with JobView. Arnold, Mike and Mark make it such a great program that I literally have NO COMPLAINTS.

The software program itself, is excellent! What's even MORE excellent is the customer service. With JobView - you're not some random customer, you know the team and they do everything they can to accommodate. Over the course of the year they will make updates to the software when suggestions are sent to them. BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!!

Not having the time to learn every aspect of the software. The few limitations I may have run up against, they either address it immediately, add it to the wish list OR we find a work around...I have yet to really find a Con, because it always, always comes back to Customer Service.

I believe we starting using JobView in 2006. I have used this for job costing in a contracting setting as well as for inventory management in the wholesale equipment industry. And year after year I continue to be pleased with this product. The software is designed to be perfect for each individual business owners needs. I would not consider any other accounting software. I would recommend A-Systems JobView to any business!!!

This software is a complete package for tracking purchasing, customers, payroll, equipment and inventory. You can generate almost any report you would ever need or want. All reports can be customized to meet your needs. The customer support is excellent. The support team knows each customer and that team has been in place for many, many years. Mike can answer most any question you have. And if not, he will get Mark involved or programing will fix the issue quickly through the routine updates.

There is nothing I don't like about A-Systems JobView. Any issues other users at our business may have are addressed and corrected quickly.

I have used this software for 19 years and loved it. It has so many features that I don't use but are available to other users. I use the general ledger, payroll, cash, payables, receivables, and job costing sections. I have found them easy to process information and prepare my financials. I highly recommend this software. If I have an issue (rarely) the support team has been readily available and very helpful.

Easily tracks my job costs with payables and payroll expenses. Makes payroll a breeze including union reports, quarterly and annual reports. Easy to design and modify my financial statements. Tracks my subcontracts and easy to make change orders with subs and owners. There are many reports with many options for finding the information I need. There are several ways to track information from past jobs/vendors/owners.

If I have made a mistake in posting an adjusting journal entry this software does not allow me to just delete or go back into the entry and make changes (like another software from a different job allowed). I have to make a correcting journal entry (although it does allow reversing entries). From a strict accounting background, being able to delete entries and losing the audit trail may not be a good idea anyway so is this really a con?

I have really enjoyed working on this program. it is very user friendly and the reports are great. it would be great if the cloud was more affordable.

User friendly.
love the personalization per user.
Great reporting.
Up to date programs.
Very good support.

Slow at times.
Would like the cloud to be more affordable.

Overall, I'm happy with the JobView Software. There is an ease of use and familiarity with the software that I like. The personal service that we get from A-Systems is a very big plus for me.

I like the way the JobView Software is organized with different work flow screens for different areas, like GL, Payroll, Payables. I like that I can print reports with lots of parameters in order to narrow down to the information I need. I also like the personal help I get from A-Systems whenever I call for help. Someone is always available to help me without listening to a recording and pressing a bunch of numbers. I like that we can store our information in "the cloud" and don't have to worry about doing a manual backup. This has also provided us with the ability to logon from anywhere.

I don't feel like the "Help" function is very user friendly. I also wish that the formatting between the PDF version of a report and the Excel Version wasn't so garbled. There are reports/functions and features that I don't use that might be of value but I don't feel like I know where to go to learn more without going to a User Conference.

I have 20 plus years in the accounting field and have used many software programs and JobView's ease supersedes any I have used.

Software is super user friendly.
Support is very informative.
Love the annual conference you get to learn what is new and learn some things you may not have known about that are old - no two are alike!

Did not like using non cloud version.
Reporting could be a little more user friendly to use.

Our overall experience with JobView and A-Systems has been a great experience . We would definitely recommend the product.

We are a small business specializing in drywall and paint. We need to have these two trades separate from each other in our system. JobView allows us to have two departments to separate our costs and see separately on our financial statements.

Our payroll has many cost codes needed to be jobcosted out for each and every job and JobView allows us to have that feature.

No problems at year end with w-2's and 1099 printing.

If ever there is a problem A-Systems is quick to help us out!

We have no problems with JobView. We feel it is user friendly.

I love the program and the best part is the people behind it all. Always there to help when you have a question or just don't understand how to do something.

I was new to construction and the software is very user friendly. Good checks and balances to help.

My only problem is that when I use the auto fill feature it causes the program to crash.
