PRESIDENT Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "WICKMAN CONSTRUCTION & REAL ESTATE OF WI" September 9, 2024 5.0 Wonderful, The guys that run the outfit are very helpful, they are straight forward "get it done" sort of guys - the way everybody in the construction industry should be! Pros Construction Crew Scheduling is much different than construction project scheduling. Control board offers a product that really doesn't existing anywhere else in the market. It is a super powerful tool by being able to forecast labor and equipment needs you can really see your "pinch points". Self performing construction companies can only grow as big as they can manage their resources, Control Board helps to enable further growth. Cons It took a lot of internet time to finally find the program. Most people who don't know what they are looking for, may never know about it. Alternatives considered [monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing ControlBoard again, I was looking for a magnet board type crew scheduling software. Other programs that I test drove were more suited for a workplace where there is just 1 workplace, when you try to start adding many "job site" locations the other software in the market just doesn't hold up. Review Source KA Krista A. VP Of operations Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Glad We Tried It!" September 6, 2024 5.0 Pros We are new to ControlBoard, but so far ControlBoard has been easy to use. Everyone has been very helpful in getting it configured the way we want/ need it. We are still leaning, but so far it is going very well. The guys in the field have also found it easy for them to use. Cons We are still fairly new to ControlBoard, but so far anything I have had any issue with they have configured to what I need, so there hasn't been anything specific that I would say I don't like. Switched from [uAttend](https://www.capterra.com/p/126444/uAttend/) We were wanting a product that we can move more into project management. Review Source NB Noah B. Project Manager Machinery Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Skeptical at first, but really quite good" June 19, 2023 4.0 ControlBoard finally got us out of the phone calls and Excel spreadsheet world into a one visible portal system that is the core of our scheduling. Having one inflexible system is doomed to have it's flaws, but overall, ControlBoard has allowed us to be fractionally more efficient, and has cleaned up some of the trivial tasks that only a web-based portal could. Pros The info that the crews get is instant, and uniform, and via the expected channels. There is no lag from having to recommunicate changes in plans. The cleanliness and organization makes it easy to see both overviews and details of daily and weekly work. The ability to attach work packages has helped control engineering/installer communication. The site info and colors and customization to our customers, job names, job numbering system, and crew sizes/departments has made the experience streamlined. Excellent support from the software team through the whole process. Cons The "applying a filter" manual step is a little clunky, and even more difficult on mobile devices. We tried to connect ControlBoard to our accounting system, but there were too many "special cases" (scheduling some prework on a job that is not open yet, for example) that made the direct connection not workable. Some of the "permissions" for different users didn't work right out of the box. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) visibility (crews couldn't access Excel easily), standardization, speed of communication, attach files Review Source cM chris M. VP Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tracking and Scheduling Jobs and Employees with ControlBoard" March 7, 2022 5.0 Overall the experience with ControlBoard has been great. We get excellent support when needed and it meets all of our scheduling needs. Pros ControlBoard made it easy to import jobs from Sage 100 Contractor and assign employees to work on those jobs. Cons Unfortunately, Nothing comes to mind. Everything works great. Alternatives considered [Sage Construction Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/154874/Sage-Construction-Suite/)[Arcoro](https://www.capterra.com/p/82529/arcoro/) Reason for choosing ControlBoard Sage 300 Project Management was too expensive and Exaktime did not have the ghant chart views that we needed at the time and we could not schedule out a a project from a long period of time. Review Source AL Anna L. Director of Software Development Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great support with great scheduling software" January 17, 2024 5.0 Overall I think Controlboard can do what we need for scheduling purpose and they are very user friendly and easy to set up and learn it. Their support is great and quick to make enhancement based on what we request. They are very patience in addressing our company's needs. Pros I love the support that we get. The company make enhancements and really listens to what we need for our company. The tool is very easy to use and it updates with our system so it works well with what we need. Cons The back button does not bring you back to the previous page so users need to get used to it. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Excel does not give us alert when a person is overbooked and it is easy to delete things on the file with no record.

September 12, 2024 5.0 The lack of technical documentation for self-guided training is more than made up for by the ever-present customer service to assist quickly with any potential issues and instruction. It has been a pleasure working with the people behind the technology as we work together to address our operational needs. Pros Controlboard helps us with collaboration and communication - which is immensely valuable for our organization. Cons The looks & feel of the user interface could use a facelift, but the core technology is the real value. Review Source EG Erika G. Procurement Coordinator Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Man Power " September 9, 2024 5.0 I like that its easy to use and everything saves automatic. Pros Easy to navigate and learn anyone with the minimum skills can use this. Cons a lot of futures that does the same thing. makes it hard to remember were to go Review Source MP Marco P. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ControlBoard Scheduling" June 6, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to set up multiple projects. Easy to move crews/laborers around from project to project. Importing subcontractors and equipment was quick and efficient. Text to cancel crews or send a message is very convenient. Cons Copy function can duplicate crews/workers accidently. If you have a note for a worker and extend their duration out the same note goes on for the entire duration you've assigned. Reason for choosing ControlBoard Recommended from multiple subcontractors we use. Review Source ES Edward S. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ControlBoard Review" May 13, 2024 5.0 Pros Ease of moving crews and subcontractors to the different projects to address the ever changing project schedules Cons We are still just getting into ControlBoard, but do not have any cons to provide at this time. Review Source BV Brenden V. President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very helpful staff" March 5, 2022 5.0 We use this to help schedule our crews and equipment. It gives everyone at our company the ability to view the schedule in an easy format. Pros We use this software for our scheduling. It is easy to see every crew and resource and job on the same menu which really helps us put together schedules for the next few weeks. Cons There are sometimes small glitches but the team at control board always helps us quickly resolve them. A few of the old feature in the server version were removed like the ease of typing descriptions in the job view were removed but some new ones that made moving crews around easier were added. Reason for choosing ControlBoard Ease of viewing across screens Review Source AC Alex C. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Everyday User" March 4, 2022 4.0 I like it, it's a time saver, especially when I have to make scheduling changes almost every hour. Pros Providing lots of information to my guys in the field, address, job number, start time, contacts, and being able to transfer to their mobile device almost instantly. I also enjoy the texting feature if I need to send an important message. Cons There are some features that seem clunky that I enjoyed to use on the old control board software. Such as using my keyboard to copy and delete resources that i now have to drag back and forth. It's very possible I'm not using this software to its full potential as there is more to learn. Reason for choosing ControlBoard I don't know, he company used this software previously. Review Source CA Chad A. President Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Product!" April 24, 2023 4.0 Very good experience and support Pros Very simple to use and PC functionality is very user friendly Cons Web app is functional but kind of clunky Reason for choosing ControlBoard Simplicity Switched from [Contractor Foreman](https://www.capterra.com/p/166113/Contractor-Foreman/) drag and drop functionality Review Source CB Carrie B. Owner Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Control Board was a Godsend " April 4, 2019 4.0 Overall it’s been great. We have only been using it for about 3 months but it’s been great, and the customer service goes above and beyond when you have any issues at all. Pros Excellent and very patient customer service who are every responsive, helpful, and eager to please. We don’t necessarily use or know how to use all of the features but this has certainly brought us into a whole new league and we no longer run into scheduling conflicts as we used to do. It has been a Godsend to us, and I don’t know how we managed without it. Cons I cannot think of any negatives to the software. It has all of the features we need, and the ones we don’t need we simply do not use them. Review Source SK Savvas K. Operations Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "DDS Mechanical Review" May 21, 2021 5.0 Very Postive Pros Deployment and Flexibilty. Great customer support! Cons Color Coding by resourse type or in general. Review Source TS Todd S. Operations Manager Used the software for: ### "The best software you will find for dispatching PERIOD." March 9, 2016 5.0 After reviewing software for a dispatching solution for almost a year, 20 or 30 of them . This is by far the BEST. I've done the 'I'll hire a programmer to do custom software' and none of them stack-up to ControlBoard. I can't complain about one thing. If you need anything changed in the software pickup the phone and in less then 3 days I have an update and problem solved. Very reasonably priced, compared to the competition . Review Source OZ Olaf Z. President Used the software for: ### "great software for the right company fit" February 15, 2016 4.0 Mark with control board is fantastic for customer service and he is technically outstanding. He really knows his stuff. This has made implementation so much easier. Cons: very very few, a couple minor technical items that we wish the software could do. Again, overall, we are extremely pleased with the product. Review Source DS David S. Operations Manager Used the software for: ### "I have nothing but great things to say about this Company and this product" May 3, 2016 5.0 Control board has helped us grow and expand beyond anything would could have imagined. The filters are awesome for really breaking down what you need to get done. One place everyone can go to see what we have going on and where. Review Source PL Payton L. Office Admin Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We <3 CB!!!" May 22, 2025 5.0 We switched over to ControlBoard a few months ago, and other than the initial phase of being introduced to ControlBoard, we have faced no real difficulties integrating the program into our team. It has helped many departments in our company stay on the same page easily. Pros We like ControlBoard for it's efficiency. We love that it is able to streamline scheduling, payroll services, and job organization all in one program. Cons Honestly, there isn't much I don't like about ControlBoard. Anytime I have questions regarding a process, our main point of contact for CB \[sensitive content hidden\], always has a helpful answer on how to complete the task at hand. Alternatives considered [N-central](https://www.capterra.com/p/13803/N-central/) Reason for choosing ControlBoard We chose ControlBoard for a combination of different reasons. The price, customer service, and range of what CB was capable of all played a role in its selection. Switched from [uAttend](https://www.capterra.com/p/126444/uAttend/) We needed a more construction based scheduling and organization program. Review Source TZ Tomas Z. VP of Operations Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Efficient, Intuitive, and Well-Supported—ControlBoard Delivers" May 23, 2025 5.0 ControlBoard is user-friendly and easy to navigate. The support is excellent and very responsive. I appreciate having clean data that I can understand and justify, and ControlBoard excels at that. Pros With ControlBoard, resources can be scheduled easily, and complex labor forecasts can be prepared, ensuring we run efficiently without hiccups or guessing. Cons While I understand their importance, I personally am not a huge fan of having the release notes prominently displayed on the home screen. I think it would be more user-friendly if these notes were hidden or made less visible, as they can clutter the interface and distract from the main content. Switched from [HCSS Dispatcher](https://www.capterra.com/p/147712/HCSS-Dispatcher/) We needed a better scheduling application that integrated with our forecasting Review Source BG Braden G. General Foreman Supervisor Utilities Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My ControlBoard Experience" October 28, 2025 5.0 Control Board is easy to learn, has nice features, and is a good visual. Overall, it is a great solution for our company. This is all secondary to the fantastic customer service and support provided by ControlBoard. They are always available to assist, will actively fix bugs, and adjust features custom to the end user. Highly recommend. Pros Ease of use, thoughtful features, great value. You can tell a lot of effort is put in to make the product great. Cons Any issues I experienced were resolved by \[sensitive content hidden\]. Most were filtering or export problems that were mainly just growing pains. Alternatives considered [Smartsheet](https://www.capterra.com/p/79104/Smartsheet/) Reason for choosing ControlBoard Simple more effective solution. Smartsheet was trying to do too much. They also had 4 meetings to ask the same questions. Switched from [Assignar](https://www.capterra.com/p/143935/Assignar/) Assignar is clunky, hard to use, and had poor visuals. It also was way to expensive. Review Source DL Dan L.

We got it for simple scheduling and continue to be surprised with what else it can do. If you need any support they always answer the phone and solve it immediately. Pros Ease of use and customer support. Priced right for any size business. Drag and drop assets onto your schedule. Create tasks/jobs easily. Cons That I don't know all its capabilities.

Review Source JO Jake O. Finance and IS Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scheduling Made Easy" July 16, 2025 5.0 Utilize it to schedule jobs and help keep track of recurring services. Coming from an inhouse spreadsheet, Controlboard is very similar, but intuitive when it comes to making changes and adjustments. Pros Ease of Use, and easy to access the website from a phone tablet, or pc. Scheduling is as easy as drag and drop and shows many different schedules. Cons Nothing that has come up yet. Still learning and adapting to our needs. Once we fully understand the potential, there may be some things we dont like, but not yet.
