What Our Customers Are Saying
" I really like the way that Dexter + Chaney's users drive their business. "

" We have achieved a 400% increase in monthly billings with only a 20% increase in the company's office staff. "

" Dexter + Chaney is a very good software compay that listens to their customers and provides excellent support and training. Spectrum Construction Software is built for the future and beyond! "
" We could not have brought the number of vendors and employees into the software without Spectrum's Electronic Data Conversion. Bringing in the entire Job Cost history, over 4000 records, that was huge. "
" Document Imaging has made our daily processes much more streamlined and efficient. "
" Spectrum Construction Software by Dexter + Chaney is the best construction software on the market today. Spectrum incorporates all of the latest in technology from document imaging for a paperless environment, to integration with PDA's and other wireless devices, allowing you to update information when you need it. Besides being user-friendly, Spectrum is very flexible and works well for contractors of all sizes. The reporting capabilities with Crystal Reports mean that I don't have to say 'no' when someone needs a report - because the information is easy to get! One of the biggest benefits of Spectrum is that as users, we get to participate in the enhancements and upgrades when we attend the Users' Conference each year! "
" Job Cost and Payroll working together has really helped us. Before Spectrum, we had stuff scattered acropss the office and someone had to bring it all together. With Spectrum, we've decreased the amount of time it takes to perform tasks and the number of office personnel we require. Spectrum has made life easier for everyone involved. "
" Dexter + Chaney is a very professional company and a great company to work with. Spectrum Construction Software is a great product. "

" Spectrum's job analysis inquiry allows our contract managers to see all relevant information on a job in a single screen. This saves us time and money because all of our staff can easily get the latest information right away. "
" The Project Management module allows our project managers to write RFI's and change orders, and make project notes in one system. Because everyone uses the same system, we now have standardization among our project managers, which makes us more efficient and keeps our data consistent. "
" Spectrum's Construction Project Management software delivers on the promise of complete integration. "
" With Document Imaging, we image all our time sheets, so I can drill right down to the job on any given day, and see exactly what an individual employee did on that day. This way, when there is a question from an owner, you never have to say, 'give me just a minute,' or 'I'll have to get back to you on that.' It defuses a lot of because I have pinpoint control of the information I need. "
" Spectrum Enterprise Edition provides the power and integration that allow us to manage operations generating approximately $800 million dollars a year. At IES we have simplied our IT infrastructure and eliminated redundancy by consolidating 40 regional servers to a few single Enterprise servers. We are now able to close the books on all businesses across our enterprise in a significantly reduced timeframe. At the same time, Spectrum's integration gives us the needed visitbility into the consolidated financials as well as the drill-down to transactions at the branch level. IES has developed and customized an internal system called 'PMOS' (Project Management Operating System), as our standard set of management procedures and processes designed to develop, plan, manage and implement work projects to meet all key objectives. IES relies on PMOS to run our business and Spectrum is at the center of all PMOS systems while providing the foundation for our construction accounting. "

And each of our offices performs up to a half dozen types of work, potentially as many as 48 lines of business across the company.
