Hosting Sage 100 Contractor with Syscon is one of our favorite decisions. It has reduced our investment in IT Hardware, as well as time to maintain and upgrade the software. Syscon knowledge and response times are some of the top reasons we would recommend the hosting service.

Better Builders
From the Cost to Complete to the FIT System and everything else, Syscon keeps the Better Builders team running efficiently.
Joan Boulet-Lynch

My favorite thing about Syscon is the staff! Without question, Syscon hires very knowledgeable employees, and it has always been a good experience working with Syscon. As a business owner, it has been a relief to be working with Syscon knowing that their expertise in assisting in cyber security, all our I.T., and we even have an employee participating in Syscon’s peer group. From the peer group alone, we are about to streamline the recording of our credit card receipts into Sage 100 Contractor much more efficiently.”
We started many years ago with Larry and Cathy Wendt. I believe it was over 23/24 years ago. We have never considered another company to assist us with our I.T. In the day of people shopping around for everything these days, I think that says it all. Syscon stays fresh and current and shares their new findings with their clients to keep their clients up-to-date and current.

Now that we have Syscon’s Cost to Complete which integrates with Sage 100 Contractor, the process of storing that information is quick and easy, enabling us to focus on the things that matter and not wear ourselves out due to an overly cumbersome process. Syscon kicks a$$.

Having all our companies on one hosting platform with Sage 100 Contractor has helped our teams. The knowledge and support of the Business Consultants have allowed us to advance our company’s processes.

My favorite story is when Cathy came out to our office to get us out of QuickBooks and into Sage 100 Contractor full-time. Our company had been trying to make the switch for some time, but when Cathy came out, it happened. I have really enjoyed the relationship Corenic and myself have had with Syscon for the last 6 years and look forward to many more. It is such a great resource to have, and it is nice to have total confidence in anything that Syscon recommends.
Syscon’s cloud hosting has been a fantastic add for access to Sage 100 Contractor. The cloud hosting has made it easier, with remote working more often, to have access to our ERP from anywhere. Having a resource for any and all S100C questions is so valuable when trying to run smoothly in a business.

Syscon’s weekly videos are very informative. Whenever our team has a question about Microsoft 365 or Sage 100 Contractor, we call Syscon. They know all the in’s and out’s which helps us resolve our issues quickly. They definitely deserve gold stars for their year-end webinars. I’ll listen to three different sources and always get the best information and advice from Syscon!

Sage 100 Contractor has made month end closing more efficient. After the initial learning curve, the ease of use and ability to drill down to records are two reasons we would recommend this solution.

With Syscon’s cloud hosting and Sage 100 Contractor support, we are able to focus on our business and not the network or computer issues. Syscon is a very consistent and efficient organization. Response time is excellent. We never worry about our IT solutions.

Larry has customized the Syscon Cost to Complete tool to meet our project management needs. The entire Syscon team gets a gold star – from customer support to consulting. The team is always supportive and knowledgeable. They care that you, as the customer, are comfortable with how to use the tools’

This is a great topic!!
We have been using positive pay for checks and ACH for about 3 years because of fraudulent checks that we, thankfully, caught. It is a simple process and a life saver for the many instances we have seen lately with bogus checks and ACHs. We have seen more ACHs lately.

There is a Better Way – Try F.I.T.!
Before we used Syscon’s F.I.T. System, project managers manually collected paper timesheets, reviewed them, and then submitted to payroll for processing. Payroll would then enter all the timesheet information into Sage one by one. Employees were sometimes missing information on their timesheets, like job numbers, cost codes, and hours not adding up properly. With F.I.T., payroll is available in a timelier manner with fewer errors. Instead of spending time manually entering timesheets, we now spend that time reviewing and analyzing. If you are spending a lot of time entering payroll, frustrated with the process and errors, there is a better way – try F.I.T.!

Entering Payroll [is] Easier
The F.I.T. System has made entering payroll easier for remote entries. We’ve issued tablets to our field staff. The field uses these tablets to enter their hours, which controls the volume of entries that one or a few people need to enter when processing payroll. This new process is less burdensome than the old method of collecting field time by phone.

Cut My Payroll Processing Time in Half
The F.I.T. System’s single biggest benefit to me and my company is that it saves us a TON of time! The app is easy to learn and to use for all of my field employees, and it has cut my payroll processing time in half, at the minimum. Before the F.I.T. System, we used a different field time app, but it didn’t connect to Sage 100 Contractor. I manually entered new jobs into the app and then manually entered all of our employees’ time from the app into Sage each week. Payroll was starting to take too long to process, causing job cost delays and, therefore, affecting our Project Managers’ budgets and billing. To anyone on the fence about the F.I.T. System, I highly encourage you to go for it! Syscon was great with the setup and continues to be very responsive and helpful. I’ve had nothing but a great experience with both Syscon and F.I.T.!

We Love Syscon
We are new to both Sage 100 Contractor and the F.I.T. System. The Syscon team has been really helpful during the implementation. Sage is bringing much-needed order to our accounting processes and F.I.T. is enabling our payroll team to increase their efficiency. We love Syscon– they have been so helpful as we learn to use these incredibly useful tools. Syscon answers all our questions and continues to support our team.

A Real Time-Saver
Uploading field time directly to Better Builder’s payroll system has been a real time saver. We see a real benefit in seeing labor costs in real time.

Increased Reliability to Our Payroll Process
The F.I.T. System has provided increased reliability to our Payroll process while greatly reducing the manhours devoted to it each week. With the F.I.T. System, we have access to hours in a centralized and standardized app. This helps with daily review and approval of hours. The integration with Sage 100 Contractor (S100C) ensures that the job information and employee details are up to date – we no longer have hours inadvertently assigned to completed or closed jobs. The app for field users is easy to learn and intuitively laid out. Furthermore, the app is secure and customized to provide only the necessary information to our electricians.

Greatly Improved Efficiency
We used to use a combination of paper timecards and a form-fillable PDF to collect field time. These were printed and passed around the office in a folder for project managers to approve. Inevitably, they would land on someone’s desk and sit there, delaying the whole process. The F.I.T. System saves us countless hours approving time in the office. We’ve also noticed more accurate time being entered from the field. The integration with Sage 100 Contractor makes it a no-brainer. It has greatly improved efficiency.

We Save So Much Time!
We save so much time! Syscon’s F.I.T. System has really cut down on data entry for payroll! We were using paper timesheets before F.T.T.

Easy
Not only does the F.I.T. System allow your employees to be responsible for their own time, but it is an easy way to track them. Time is input on the day of on the spot. Before F.I.T., the field guys were calling their time in every day to the office.
