Powerful, Robust, & Customizable Reporting is the Cornerstone of Foundation® for Windows® Construction Accounting System

"Accurate and timely job cost data is critical to any construction business," says Fred Ode, Chairman and CEO of FOUNDATION Software, Inc. "But not all accounting programs are equal in terms of reporting features or capabilities."

FOUNDATION® for Windows®, a construction job cost accounting system, "is a true reporting industry thoroughbred," according to Ode. "It's powerful, yet easy-to-use and provides users with unlimited reporting possibilities for better decision making."

Among the features that the company claims are unique to FOUNDATION are the following:

Customizable DataGenie Report Designers
FOUNDATION comes standard with the DataGenie Series of built-in customizable report designers, which use a graphical click and drag "data capsule technology." Innovative design allows even novice users to write simple to complex user-defined reports such as budget vs. actual, production costs, projected costs to complete, overhead allocation, or percent-complete— all without needing to understand cumbersome programming logic. Additional advantages include the ability to set up multi-level drill-down links to other reports, helping users dig deep into the data source. FOUNDATION also includes customizable TimecardGenie and Invoice-Genie designers.

Hundreds of Standard Construction Accounting Reports
Many accounting systems offer standard construction and financial reports but only FOUNDATION delivers total flexibility for sorting, grouping and filtering the data found in these canned reports. These controls allow contractors to see job data the way they need it (for example, aging reports by project manager, production reports by geographic area, or financials by job). Complete date-sensitivity allows any report, in any module, to be run for any period even if it means crossing fiscal years.

Patent-Pending CPA Audit/Review Module
Standard to the FOUNDATION system is the patent-pending CPA Audit/Review Module. This module allows contractors and their CPAs to access a single, centralized dashboard to gather the unique reports and transactions records necessary during a typical audit review, saving substantial time and effort.

Easy Data Extrapolation and Manipulation
FOUNDATION accommodates users who prefer to use a third-party report writer for report creation. The system is compatible with several popular reporting products. Designed with the Microsoft SQL Server database, FOUNDATION provides a seamless interface with Microsoft products for added flexibility with data manipulation.

"Contractors looking for the ultimate in reporting power and ease-of-use should look no further than FOUNDATION for Windows," says Ode.
