Maestro makes it possible for me to do a maximum amount of checking in a minimum amount of time, be it by purchase order, contract price, etc.

In terms of time, the software is fast and very easy to use once you get to know it. Personally, I’ve been working with this software for more or less 16 years. What I like most about it are its very detailed reports, the research that can be done and the fact that we can connect to it at a distance when we need help. It’s very useful.

Budget analysis is made easier by referring to projects on-screen and gaining access to details with a double-click. The additional fields make it possible for us to manage personalized information.

I have been using Maestro since November 2006. When I was hired, the owner told me that he had the best system for construction companies and I was able to find out first-hand that it was true. I had very little training (5 hrs) since I had to replace an employee who had already left, but I was able to manage very well. Maestro is straight forward and user friendly. Its customer service representatives quickly find solutions to my problems. I recommend this system to all businesses small and large. Thanks to all the members of the Maestro team for their excellent work.

Maestro allows me to quickly get information on any aspect of our business (payroll, accounts receivable, etc.) with just the click of a button.

I am now working a lot with the Personnel Management module, which is very interesting. It allows me to quickly target the workers needed for projects that require certain skills and certificates by sorting the database of names.

The Maestro software makes it possible to maintain only ONE series of account ledgers at a time for its general accounting and its accounting by project—no need for tedious reconciliations. The project managers are happy and so are the external auditors.

The automatic compilation of project costs is invaluable. The possibility of transferring most of the information to Excel also helps me a great deal in performing pertinent analyses.

I really enjoy working with Maestro because it’s easy to use and well defined. Delays are never long in getting assistance.

After an exhaustive search, we determined that maestro* was the only software solution that enabled us to manage an unlimited number of companies in various activity sectors and to produce a large number of different financial statement models. With its multidimensional capabilities, maestro* is best suited to meet the needs of Gouverneur Hotels managers as it can be tailored to several financial structures within a system centralized through various consolidation parameters.

The MacBeth Group of companies is very excited about our upcoming software implementation with Maestro. We spent 5 months analyzing a total of six providers before making our decision to proceed with Maestro. Our decision was made unanimously by our group of 10 divisional managers and accountants.

The onsite demonstration to our management team was when our decision became clear to us. Every time we asked a question we were told “we can do that” and we were showed how it would be done. There was never hesitation or even clarifying questions, they immediately understood what we were looking for. We felt that this was a huge indicator of how implementation and training would go; the faster we were understood the faster the training and implementation would go. We had a list of wants and needs that we were looking for from a software package: consolidated accounting for twelve legal entities, job costing, estimating, customer relationship management, scheduling, database mailing, issuing and tracking of purchase orders, quote requests, equipment repair and maintenance tracking, H/R management and payroll that would integrate with our existing time clock system. Maestro met every need and wan and showed us the value and need for the document management, an area we knew nothing about but quickly added to the “must have” list. We look forward to working with the Maestro team and becoming fully operational with one software package integrated throughout all divisions and companies.

We have been running live with maestro* since November 1^st, 2004 and have not looked back once. Making the decision to leave MYOB behind and move toward growth, expansion and meeting the ever changing demands of business in the 21^th century, the choice of maestro* was one that helped us pave our way. Reporting capabilities, real time information, easy drill down processes to find details, great support access, one solution for all areas of our company, are all reasons we continue we appreciate the flexibility and excellence of maestro*.

As we continue to use maestro*, we continue to be impressed by its reporting capabilities and rarely find that it is not possible to configure a report to give us the information we need. The after sales support provided by Userbase continues to be great and if need be, we also can contact Maestro directly.

The maestro* system was implemented in March 2008. I was personally a strong believer in the GEAC system for its financial reporting aspects; however, the maestro* system had more elements that would enable us to more seamlessly link our Service Department and pour Purchasing Department to our financial and reporting systems. Further, maestro* has a much stronger database interface with Excel. Not only can you export your data to an Ecel file, but you can also import data, which makes recurring journal entries much more efficient.

We recently implemented maestro* as our construction accounting software for AFC Construction, AFC Consulting and AFC Walls & Ceilings. I spent several weeks researching various different programs, doing omline demos and talking to the sales representatives for each program. Maestro Technologies stood out above all the rest due to the knowledge, professionalism and organization of our representative, Tyler Harrison. After experiencing several other omline demos it was such a pleasure to be able to go through an online demo with Tyler as he had so thoroughly prepared for it, thus making it easier for us to understand the program and its capabilities. He had gone out of his way to get data specifically related to our company and upload it prior to the demo so that we could be more familiar with what was happening.
During his onsite visit, Tyler was once again knowledgeable, professional and organized making the training sessions efficient. In addition, he was very courteous and patient with the different learning skills of each individual, trying to teach a variety of different methods.
Tyler Harrison is definitely an asset to Maestro Technologies and I would not hesitate to recommend Maestro and/or Tyler to any other organization that could benefit from this program.

Choosing an Information System
The ARTE Group of Companies is a leader in the fabrication of self-framing & rigid framed metal structures, structural steel skids, and building envelope construction services, pertaining to the energy, mining and construction industries. Our commitment to excellence in the delivery of our products through safety, service and quality, has solidified our position in the industrial, commercial and residential markets. With this commitment we will continue to focus on our clients, employees and community.

One of the challenges we encountered in assessing our information processing needs was trying to find a single solution that could handle all the diverse operations within the ARTE Group. Some of our divisions perform longer term contracts which are progress-billed, others are lump-sum upon completion, and others are work-order based. Some work is performed using our own labour and equipment, other work is performed utilizing sub-trades, and other contracts require a combination. Adding to the requirements was managing a fleet of 16 trucks with inventories, estimating, lien tracking, dynamic reporting requirements (both internally and externally), multi-company, intercompany transactions, change orders, safety tracking, and many other items. We also had to take into consideration where the ARTE Group is going as an organization. With growth of over 600% over the past four years, this was no easy task.

In total, eleven software vendors were contacted and their solutions reviewed. Some of the solutions were generic and could be customized, and others were specific to the construction industry. While each offering had its own strengths, none of the solutions being evaluated had the combination of solid technology and breadth of functionality that maestro* offered.
Longevity was also a key factor in our evaluations. Maestro demonstrated that they are consistently investing back into their solution based upon customer feedback. Also appealing was that Maestro is a privately held company that is addressing the idiosyncrasies of the Canadian construction industry.

I would recommend maestro* to any organization that wants to enhance their operations through one integrated solution.
