Using The CMS
Comments: Overall we have been extremely happy with the CMS. It has made the paperwork portion of our business much more efficient, and aesthetically better. It has allowed us to operate with 50% less operationally dedicated labor than we needed before, to produce a vastly superior product. It has also allowed us to communicate more efficiently and within the guidelines of our CBA with our employee's Labor Union. We have seen a marked improvement in bring down our operational costs since installing the program.
Pros:
The ability to generate and link any type of paperwork to a specific project, gives us the ability to track costs on a project by project basis, as well keeping customer histories, with regards to contact & building information.
Cons:
The payroll & billing portions of the program are a little too cumbersome to use. There are a lot of extra steps required to close out jobs for billing and time sheets for payroll, when you are working on projects that last more than one day.
Admin Review
Comments: The product has been great. We are able to customize the system to fit our needs and the customer service when making changes has been excellent.
Pros:
Once the training was completed the product is very user friendly
Cons:
The reporting system is a bit limited for our needs but we are working with the system admins to make improvements
CMS Review
Pros:
Material tickets and the bridge to the 814 ids.
Cons:
Not a lot of pre-loaded fields. Warehouse tickets are still time consuming.
Great initial software, even better customization
Comments: The whole team is easy to communicate with, especially [sensitive content hidden].
Pros:
The customization opportunities are excellent. You can pretty much create an idea on paper that works for your business, and they will help you figure out a way to use technology to your advantage in regards to the idea. In addition, customizations are done quickly.
Cons:
Only real critique is not having the ability for automated reporting or at least not that I am aware of yet.
We love our Commercial Moving System
Comments: Love it! We love CMS because the team who supports us is absolutely amazing.
Pros:
It's a great application that the entire team enjoys.
Cons:
Financial Consolidation, reporting and process could be enhanced.
Overall great system and great company - highly recommended
Comments: Our overall experience with Fox Wyndrum and their Commercial Moving System has been extremely positive. Having been up and running on the system for about a year and a half its hard to find things that we don't like - a statement I couldn't make about ANY other system I've used. The people at Fox Wyndrum understand our industry and our needs and that makes working with them so much easier and such a pleasure. I would highly recommend Fox Wyndrum to anyone in our industry. Having been through so many different systems in the past I'm confident there's nothing out their like it.
Pros:
There are a lot of different things that I like about Fox Wyndrum CMS. A few of the things that I like the most are the companies flexibility and willingness to customize the system for our specific business practices. That said, they understand our industry and will provide suggestions on features we would like added - at the end of the day it becomes a very collaborative approach and the final product we're left with is top quality. Out of the box their system was able to do things we couldn't find with other software. Our company had been through 5 different systems over the past 15 or so years so we were very skeptical in the beginning but everything we were told happened. The pre-implementation, system testing, and training was superior to any software implementation I can remember in my 15 years in the technology industry.
Cons:
If I had to pick something that I like least about the software I would say the customer search functionality. It was more something we just had to get used to but in certain areas when searching for a customer our users had some trouble. Keep in mind that was really only primarily in the first few months of using the system.
Full-featured system for managing commercial move jobs
Comments: Overall, CMS is one of the most successful software implementations I have been part of in my 20+ years in IT. It does what it is supposed to do, and the vendor is knowledgeable about their product as well as the industry which they serve. One of their greatest benefits to us is that they are willing to tell us when we are trying to over-think a problem, or are trying to apply the wrong type of solution to a specific need. They are our PARTNER, in every sense.
Pros:
FWA's Commercial Moving System really gives us the best of two worlds-- out of the box, it provides a full set of functionality: order entry, labor/truck/supply assignment, work order printing, and invoicing. But, on top of that, the team at Fox/Wyndrum are very capable software developers that can modify and enhance the system to fit our business' specific needs.
Cons:
During the implementation, we did have some challenges integrating with our accounting system, but that was not really the fault of Fox Wyndrum.
very easy to learn & use as an admistrator

Pros:
compared to our, the companies, old software this is quicker & more efficient

I can't say there is anything I'm unhappy with....easy to use & to figure out ways to of doing certain tasks.

What I like the least about the software is that once you buy it you're basically married to the developers. Their service service and response is AMAZING, though.
