This is extremely important to us because it provides an immediate picture of job cost and profitability of the project. We are upgrading to version 19.5 so I don't feel I can give a fully accurate review until we have completed the testing process and hit the "Go Live" milestone. It would be nice to give a review of the new dashboard features from a Project Manager's point of view. ----- ### "Penta Software" — 4.0/5 > **Greg** | *25 March 2014* > > I have been using Penta for almost 7 years. I have found it to be an exceptional product from an Accounting perspective. Our auditors have noticed a marked improvement in the quality of our data as well as the speed in which we answer their questions. The document management module is integrated seamlessly with the accounting modules, which allows users to drill down to source documents rapidly. The area which I feel is still behind where I would like them to be is Operations integration. Our goal when we purchased the software was to replace Expedition which our Operations folks were using. Although we have transitioned away from Expedition for some things, we still rely on it for approximately 80% of what we had hoped to replace. We are still entering some data in both systems which is somewhat frustrating. We are just now testing the mobile applications that Penta has released which will allow remote users access to Penta through their iPads. I feel this holds a lot of promise, but has not yet been tested fully on our system. Overall, I think Penta is an excellent company with great people, and hopefully we will see more progress on the integration of Operation functions soon. ----- ### "It has been okay." — 3.0/5 > **Michael** | *09 June 2017* > > **Pros**: It is fairly easy to navigate. My use is read only for review job cost details. It is somewhat intuitive to use, but seems to run kind of slow, on our system. > > **Cons**: Takes a long time to download or open up. I can't print details of cost data I am review. This might be due to how our usage permissions are set up. ----- ### "PENTA Construction ERP" — 4.0/5 > **Kimber** | *12 February 2014* > > Excellent software for Financials, Project Accounting, Project Management and Service Management but does lack a bit within the Payroll module (excludes some basic functionality). Unfortunately the application does not provide adequete support for Human Resources at this time. ----- ### "Penta Review" — 4.0/5 > **Nancy** | *28 February 2014* > > We have been clients of Penta for over 10 years. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/29189/penta-enterprise-construction-accounting) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
