Testimonials

“We needed to find a program that had comprehensive job costing & accounting features, attached to a powerful but easy to use estimating program. We tried at least 3 other of the leading program brands and found Bizprac to be by far the most user friendly, without compromising critical features or functionality. Bizprac allows us to keep track of the ongoing jobs and keep’s our job claims up to date. Bizprac has allowed us to spend much more time onsite doing the job and way less time on the computer.

Whenever we need help Bizprac support staff are friendly and easy to contact. Also when we suggest new features or changes to the program, they are reviewed and added if other customers have the same request. So the combination of Bizprac’s feature-set, ease of use, and readily available support, meant going with Bizprac was a no brainer.”

“At our previous employer, a large building company, we became familiar with the functionality of a large construction software product from Sage. So when we went to the market to look for software, our aim was to find similar functionality at a fraction of the price. We knew it was a tall order. The only product that provided the full functionality was Bizprac. Bizprac was built by builders for builders and this was evident to us when we reviewed the product. We were very impressed with the value for money that Bizprac provided and now that we have started to use it, we’re also impressed with the support and ease of use. We’re very happy with Bizprac!”
