## Reviews

### "PFA Consulting Ltd - Review on Amber-JCS" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *11 September 2018* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This  job costing software was a massive improvement on what we were using before.  It  allows time sheets to be input directly by staff which gives us up to date information on costings.  We have better transparency of  our figures and the  vast number of reports available  enables us to analyse our figures very easily and accurately.  It works with Sage perfectly.
> 
> **Cons**: You have to remember that it is an Access database and it will only do what you generate it to do.  Previously we used an accounting package so it took some getting use to.
> 
> For us, the ease of invoicing and reporting  has made our job costing procedures work more efficiently and transparently.

> 
> There is still probably features we don't use as yet, but overall it has saved a lot of time in collating hours staff spend on each job, the system gathers this for you, so it saves time when wages are being done.
we have also moved away from paper job cards and use Amber - JCS which is brilliant and very easy to use.
Jobs can be easily searched for and all the information regarding that job found easily on the system.
The Support we receive is fantastic.
