In 2021, Sage expired support for Sage 50 Job Costing software. As of now, Sage has not provided an alternative or replacement with construction-specific functionality. This means construction-based businesses must explore the market to find a solution that offers the functionality required to carry out specific processes. When searching for a new solution provider, it's important to ensure their product offers suitable functionality, that they are continually investing in their products, and that they provide reliable support.
As the UK’s only Sage Tech Partner, we offered businesses a suitable replacement option with our construction-specific accounting/job costing solution. With seamless integration with their existing Sage accounting system, construction companies have chosen our construction-specific software to manage their job costing, contract budgeting, subcontractor management and CIS processes from a single solution.
To support businesses with the transition, we provide customers with a personalised onboarding journey to help them adopt the software. A guided three-month onboarding plan, our team provides includes scheduled 1-2-1 calls, online training sessions, and in-program walkthrough technology to ensure a smooth transition. After onboarding, customers have full access to our support team, where they can speak directly with our support consultants to resolve any queries or access our extensive online knowledge base.
Construction companies are implementing Eque2’s construction-specific software to move away from Sage Job Costing
IWE Electrical Services Ltd sought a quick transition from Sage Job Costing to a user-friendly, fully supported product that would offer complete visibility over the entire job costing process for the future. Their goal was to replicate the functionality they were familiar with in Sage Job Costing, while also expanding their operations to manage and process purchase orders, track timesheets and retentions, create sales invoices, and handle cumulative application processes.
By moving to Eque2’s construction-specific, IWE Electrical Services now has a secure solution that protects their business from unexpected data loss and future-proofs their business processes. The electrical and mechanical engineering company was impressed by Eque2’s personalised onboarding journey to support their team to easily adopt the new software.
The electrical and mechanical engineering company was looking for a quick implementation and was impressed by the intuitive onboarding journey and the support offered by Eque2’s onboarding team.
Roxwell Ltd has selected Construction Manager for Sage, having been won over by its ease of use and similar look and feel to Sage Job Costing. Construction Manager’s ability to manage applications, retentions and valuations will ensure the building contractor is always able to bill the right amount at the right time.
Roxwell was especially impressed by the cloud software’s rapid implementation timeframes. This was a key factor in the selection process, minimising the time the company’s financial data was at risk in an old, unsupported system.
North Group Ltd has chosen Construct for Sage, as well as Eque2’s mobile approvals app and timesheets app, to support its business moving forward.
The Scottish design-and-build contractor and aftercare maintenance company was looking to streamline processes to make greater efficiency savings. Construct will not only improve reporting and reduce unnecessary duplication of entering and storing data but will also remove unnecessary paper-based processes. The approvals app will allow users to sign off invoices in an instant at anytime and anywhere, automating what was previously a laborious, manual task that required having to go into the office.
Other businesses that have also recently chosen to partner with Eque2 for their construction accounting needs include: DWJ Harkin, Hembury Homes Ltd, Kerr Office Group, Legal & General Modular Homes and Marksmen Construction Services.
