Smetter

We use Smetter in our work. Its main advantage lies in the completely different level of interaction with clients. There is a difference between explaining things to a client "in simple terms," when you walk around with a notebook and create tables in Excel, and using a specialized system that allows you to generate neat documents and accurate reports. The professional approach becomes obvious to the client. It also makes our work easier, as it reduces the amount of paperwork, and some actions can be automated (for example, reporting – the client sees everything in the app). At first, we used the free version, but the functionality was lacking. So we quickly switched to the paid version, and the costs quickly paid off.

The program is excellent; it completely solved our problems with budgeting, planning, and purchasing. At first, it was challenging as employees adapted to the new interface and features, transferred data from Excel, created personal accounts with limited access for various specialists, and trained workers on-site on how to use the program, and so on. This took about a month. However, after that, we were able to appreciate all the advantages it brings. Preparing budgets now takes much less time (the same goes for other documents), financial chaos has disappeared, the entire team works smoothly, and clients can track the progress of the work.

The program for cost estimation is designed for construction, renovation, and finishing works. At its core is a cost estimate builder that includes numerous templates and a pricing database (for Russia and the CIS). It also features modules for procurement management, a receipt scanner, financial analytics, inventory, and more. Thanks to this, all participants in the processes can work in Smetter – not only estimators but also foremen, purchasers, managers, and others. Each has their own functionality regulated by access rights. For example, the estimator creates and imports estimates, puts them into action, the foreman prepares documents for subcontractors, the purchaser develops and formulates supply requests for materials, the manager creates commercial proposals, and so on. Among the features is a personal account for the client. In it, they can track the status of the project (photos from the site, information about purchases, progress of work, documentation, etc.). The program can be used not only on PCs but also on mobile devices (apps are available for Android and iOS). This is convenient on construction sites and during outings. For example, through the app, employees can report on completed work, conduct inventory, and prepare reports for the client.

Since 2021, we have been actively collaborating with this service and continue to hope for bug fixes "tomorrow." Current issues remain unresolved, while new unsuccessful features, like "tasks," are added. Now, in essence: 1. Integration is only with T-Bank, and it is very inconvenient. With each account synchronization with Smetter, old payments are randomly loaded, which can only be deleted by tech support upon request in their free time via Telegram. 2. There are almost no settings for managing access rights to accounts. Employees either cannot make payments at all or can make them from any account. 3. The margin analysis for estimates is ineffective, as the data is taken not from actual costs but from estimated costs. For example, if you planned revenue of 1 million, from which you were supposed to pay 600,000 to workers, but actually paid 700,000, Smetter will show a margin of 400,000, while in reality, it will be 300,000. 4. The "Finance" block is only suitable for exporting data to Excel for use in tables or transferring to other services. Otherwise, it is ineffective due to a non-working filter. Additionally, the "Finance" block freezes for several minutes with each request. 5. There is no API integration, although Smetter claims otherwise. The website lists methods, but in practice, nothing can be done with them. In our case, the integration contractor refunded the money after 5 weeks of work because they could not obtain a key from Smetter's tech support. Smetter itself cannot provide examples of companies that have implemented API integration. In a community of over 300 users, no one has been able to do this either. 6. Smetter has wide opportunities for manipulation. Documents and requests are not linked to each other. In estimates or purchases, you can indicate an expense for materials and not pay for it, or even pay for it and then delete the payment! Smetter will consider such a request as paid. 7. The lack of log files means that any employee can make changes in the areas available to them, and no one will know about it.

Six months ago, we started using the Smetter program, looking for a solution to speed up the preparation of estimates. After exploring all the capabilities of the program, we realized that Smetter is not just an estimating program, but a whole complex for business automation. We began testing and gradually implementing various modules. At this point, most processes have already been transferred to Smetter, and we are satisfied with the results. We prepare estimates quickly, and expense tracking for projects is done in real-time. If there are issues with a project, we see it immediately, rather than only after final calculations with the client, when it might be too late. Smetter has become an excellent assistant for our business. I recommend it and will continue to recommend it!

We have been using the program for automating construction processes for six months, and overall the impressions are positive. The estimate builder really helps: you can prepare an estimate in a couple of hours instead of a whole day, and the pricing database significantly eases the search for information. The financial module is also very convenient. Reports are generated automatically, and for each project, you can see what costs what. Engineers on site immediately input measurements through the mobile app, which saves time. Although the interface initially seems overloaded, you quickly get used to it.

I have been using the Smetter program for over a year, and it has become an indispensable assistant for our company. It is especially nice that there is no more confusion with documents and files — everything is stored in one place, and all employees have access to the latest versions. This has greatly simplified our work and allowed us to avoid many mistakes. The database of rates for various types of work and materials across Russia is also very useful — it saves a lot of time and helps us create estimates more accurately.

An excellent tool, especially if you have several construction projects and need to keep track not only of expenses according to estimates but also of their preparation. The rates here are at an average level, the databases do not freeze, and you can study prices for materials and services by regions of the country. After implementing Smetter, we also managed to reduce bureaucracy with the payroll fund, so there are only positive aspects regarding expense optimization.

An excellent program for automating many tasks and optimizing our overall activities. The functionality is perfectly suited for construction companies. After several months of use, I have identified a few key aspects that impress me: the organization of documents has significantly improved, estimates are now prepared faster, and the analytics highlight stages and locations with issues. Thanks to this functionality, we have become more efficient overall during this time. This applies not only to our internal routine but also to the overall accuracy of our service.

We have been collaborating with Smetter for about a year now. Previously, all information regarding estimates and purchases was scattered across numerous files and chats, but now it is all gathered in one place. The preparation of commercial proposals has significantly sped up. We have gained the ability to track the profitability of each project and immediately notice where we exceed the budget. The document flow has become more transparent, and clients are pleased when they see our professional approach.
