This has really made a difference in the retention of tenders. ----- ### "RIB Candy - Full Construction Industry Package form A-Z" — 5.0/5 > **Leana** | *31 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use RIB Candy for planning purposes.

Full package for Construction Management from Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitor \& Control to Project Close out. Also able to determine historic information w.r.t. Planning durations (actuals vs planning) ----- ### "RIB Candy - The Total Construction Management Package" — 5.0/5 > **Victor** | *01 July 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Intergration of all the functions available through RIB Candy makes managing multiple Projects easier for all users. > > **Cons**: It takes time setting up all functions to meet up with your companies identity and the way that it functions, but nothing comes easy.

The use of this resource has proved invaluable to our organization. The ability to manage drawings effectively is another big plus regarding the software. It has allowed us to work collaboratively with engineers, architects and the like. With the built in auto save function, i know that my work is always safe in case of any accidental errors. and lastly, i cannot express how grateful i am for the constant support from RIB, whenever i need assistance, they are eager to help and very knowledgeable about the product itself. > > **Cons**: Candy currently does not work well with one drive and we've experienced issues where the current working file was saved through a one drive path, but then the next time i wish to use that file, it is then an issue with how it is saved. I generally have no issues when saving to my C drive, however, my company protocol is to work off of onedrive and this causes some additional (unnecessary) work for me. Admittedly the monthly price tag does put off getting an additional license to allow more employees to use this software and if RIB could look at exploring more flexible package options that could suit certain use case, i feel the user base could only increase > > It is fantastic. the implementation of this tool has made several facets of my job easier and i am very excited to keep using it in the future ----- ### "Go RIB\! Keep up the good work\!" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *17 September 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The integrated applications that cover all contract commercial and planning administrative functions in a way that makes errors less likely to occur other than by human error > > **Cons**: The view backgrounds on QTO. The dark is too dark, i.e. completely black and the light view is too piercingly bright, i.e., too white > > Extremely helpful in fulfilling my commercial functions professionally. Integrating valuations with planning and cost reporting allows very accurate reporting and forecasting ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/126567/candy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/126567/candy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
