McGuire and Hester Chooses Viewpoint to Improve Company Operations
Portland, Oregon – January 17, 2017 – Viewpoint Construction Software®, a leading provider of innovative software solutions for the construction industry, is pleased to announce that McGuire and Hester has selected Viewpoint as a technology partner, purchasing Vista™ by Viewpoint as well as Viewpoint For Projects™. McGuire and Hester is a one-stop shop for a full range of heavy civil engineering and construction services on the west coast.
McGuire and Hester had been using their previous accounting system, Dexter & Chaney Spectrum, for more than a decade. Asked about their need for change, President Robert Doud explained, “We had been with our prior accounting software company since 2001. While it provided a good solution to accounting, we felt that we were having to piecemeal other software programs together to answer some of our business needs. In addition, we had new and continuing problems with the software after they had switched to a web-based system.”
What ultimately led McGuire and Hester to first consider Viewpoint? “We heard about Viewpoint from some of our competitors who had switched over to Viewpoint. So we decided to look as well,” says Doud
After doing their due diligence, Doud and his colleagues felt Viewpoint offered the knowledge and integrated platform for their needs, both current and future. “In addition to a good accounting system, we felt that Viewpoint had done a really good job answering the needs for some of our other departments,” said Doud. “I remember the day sitting down with our HR Manager and safety office and every question that was asked of Viewpoint, they had an answer and showed us how they dealt with the issue within their software. We all left that meeting very impressed that Viewpoint had really taken into consideration the business as a whole.”
