“Our architecture & interior design firm is so happy we made the switch to Factor. It is very user-friendly and the customer service is top-notch. We love the chat feature and being able to track subconsultant budgets has been a game changer.”
- Semple Brown Design
“With Factor, our project designers can quickly assign time to an open project, project managers can easily view and update completion, and invoices can be finalized. We have looked at other products, but always come back to Factor.”
- POD Design
“The greatest overall thing that Factor has given us is more time to actually do more project management. We can now feel confident that the data is accurate and have the ability to really dive down into things. Factor also allows so much more transparency to our staff so everyone has an idea on the progress of a project. We love The Pulse area where we can look at the timeline of each project, where we are in the budget and the percent complete all together on one screen.”
