They had integrated all of our needs by using Foundation 3000. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have always been friendly, professional, excellent and hard working. Thanks to them, we were able to achieve our goal on time, and we look forward to continue working with them in the future. ----- ### "Foundation just works great" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *25 February 2020* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the best features of Foundation is the ability to get to the information you are looking for from multiple screens. The modules tie together seamlessly. The same basic information is useful for all our departments. A customer name or address gets you to any information you need. There are so many reports in each module. > > **Cons**: Not much to dislike here. Start up is tough, but any software change is tough. > > We have been using Softrend’ s Foundation 3000 for over 15 years. The programs modules all work together to create a seamless one stop shop for all our needs from invoicing, purchase orders, inventory account payable and receivable. Invoices, statements, purchase orders can all be sent directly from the program saving money on postage and paper supplies. The inventory module allows for multiple pricing rates for different customers. We are able to upload new costs from vendors from a spreadsheet. This enable us to change an entire vendors costs as one time. We can customize forms as the need arises. There are so many great reports available and if you need a different one \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] team is always willing to make you a new one. The mobile program is going to free up our technicians and office staff from using multiple programs to communicate information back and forth. The accounting department is very happy with the consolidated business reports. We have been very happy with Foundation and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] team. I highly recommend it for all types of businesses. John Latzen Operations Manager ----- ### "Proceed with Extreme Caution. Ensure you have "non performance" clauses in your contract." — 1.0/5 > **Rob** | *11 September 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The sales pitch created a sense of this program being a one stop solution for everything > > **Cons**: Unknowingly purchased portions of the product that had not even been developed yet. Slow, clunky and unreliable. Solution for every issue was to spend more money. We paid for Foundations to develop software that was sold as functional and ready to use. > > Spent 10's of thousands of dollars plus countless hours with multiple staff members and the product was never put into full use after 3 years due to continued issues and a lack of faith in the reliability of the Foundations program. Staff voted unanimously to NOT impliment the Softrends Foundations program. ----- ### "Foundation 3000 Review" — 4.0/5 > **Alyssa** | *5 May 2020* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that this software was easy to use and we were able to streamline all of our separate programs into one platform that can do it all. It is very efficient. > > **Cons**: The only major hurdle was that our existing software was very old so it was difficult to transfer data to the new system. > > Very good. We are running much more efficiently and we are on our way to being a paper-free office with the tablet capacity for our field technicians. ----- ### "the program is useful for smaller companies" — 4.0/5 > **Adam** | *27 March 2018* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: the ease of editing data and the information it gives you with just s few clicks is great. it runs smoothly and offers a great point of sale experience. > > **Cons**: it is very hard to find the right report. there are many options for retorting but it is also very limited to specifics. and if there is a way to get the report you want, there is no easy way of finding it. > > the ability to sell and manage our product ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/28085/softrend?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/28085/softrend) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
