Limitations to know

No accounting integration is published, so costs do not sync to QuickBooks or any other ledger. There is no native mobile app; the product runs in the browser. The vendor's own comparison pages say it offers the essentials rather than the breadth of Procore or STACK, so there is no document control, RFI, or submittal workflow. Company location and founding year are not published. AEC Hub has not tested the product.
