Prophix’s CPM software automates financial budgeting, reporting and forecasting processes, streamlining key workflows within construction organizations. It integrates with data from Viewpoint’s Spectrum® and Vista™ ERPs as well as more than 200 other data sources to give users improved financial reporting and visibility and the ability to manage equipment and resources across multiple jobsites.

Long before selecting a software, your organization – from leadership to end users – should all agree on pain points, needs, and the features and solutions desired from new software. These insights should help guide you to the right technologies.
