Testimonials

We made the move to CATProjects seven years ago and the benefits were apparent from day one. These include:

• Cloud-based software enables access from any device anytime, anywhere
• Becoming paperless. CAT has enabled us to eliminate paper-based invoicing (debtor and creditor) and timesheets.
• Seamless linking with Moneyworks, our accounting software
• Online approval of invoices means faster processing and no invoices going missing
• Daily diaries recording all activities on-site
• Getting all information on a project in one location accessible by all staff. No more time spent tracking down details of variations, claims, costs, etc, from different locations on the server.

We would highly recommend CATProjects to any subcontractor. It is written for construction people by construction people.

We have been using CATProjects software for approximately 11 years now after doing considerable research into which construction software would be the best fit for our medium sized building company. The system had also come highly recommended from colleagues in Auckland, running a substantial sized firm with relies heavily on this project management software.

Once our decision had been made, the support in getting set up, the actual change over of systems and the post conversion was (and continues to be) excellent. From a project management perspective, CATProjects is making a huge difference in tracking projects through all stages from initial leads to completion and most importantly, all the bits in between!

The reporting is great and very detailed. Being cloud-based is a major factor for us. This enables all parties to be current on all projects. While we have not yet moved to site staff using the application, we are looking forward to this second stage of our project being undertaken in a few months and can see huge potential for us in taking this next step. We are certainly more than happy with our purchase of CATProjects, and while we still have much to learn, the ongoing support of Paula and the team makes this process as seamless as possible.

When the business was established over 10 years ago, it was clear that a simple yet effective cost management and project management system was needed to meet the business needs. CATProjects was already recognised in the industry, with key players adopting the system and providing feedback on its strengths.

Coming from a construction background where custom and complex business software was used, it was easy to compare how much administrative time and effort was being saved from day-to-day tasks. The reporting tools and the ability to integrate our cloud-based accounting software into CATProjects have been invaluable, as they create easy exporting with hassle-free accounts payable and receivable functionality. We would recommend the system over any other in the market.

When setting up our business, we were looking for a simple, intuitive, integrated and most importantly cloud based project management system. After reviewing multiple options, CAT Projects stood out as the most suitable. The ease of access from any device, anywhere, at any time makes this system so user friendly. Also, the user interface is so simple and intuitive, it just makes sense.

The fact that this system was designed by people with a background in construction really does show through. The decision to go with CAT Projects was definitely the right call, it’s just a no brainer.

I have personally reviewed in depth over half a dozen potential project & cost management software packages that are available in the Australian & NZ market. What I found was most of them did some things well, but none of them did all things well, and most of them are clunky, frustrating, and hard to use.

CAT Projects wraps up the fundamentals of contract administration, financial control & reporting, as well as communication & audit trails in an easy to use interface that just works. It does the simple things well and uses the latest cloud-based technology that is secure and can be accessed from anywhere. Coupled with Xero integration it was and is the perfect solution for our business and has made our construction lives easy.

Originally we were looking for a programme that can keep track of both daily site operations and financials, and CATProjects has far exceeded expectations for both aspects with it being an intuitive, easy to learn system that is backed by excellent training staff, and a prompt support team. The ability for CATProjects to be able to talk with Xero is another bonus as it keeps bookkeeping straightforward, and leaves little room for error. A programme is only as good as the information entered in so the accessibility of the programme was also an important focus for us when choosing between systems. The fact that is a cloud based system won us over as any licensed staff can add to the programme anywhere, whether it be onsite, at home or even overseas.
