How has Maestro helped D’Orazio?

Maestro* really helped the company linking the accounting to the project costs and getting information from the site back to the office. Maestro*MOBILE is definitely their favorite feature, because it is the portal to the office and it provides a direct link to the field. It was the most satisfying change once fully Implemented! They are continuing to further expand their functionalities within mobile. Additionally, as Maestro continues to develop more paperless office solutions, they are simultaneously evolving their processes to generate less and less paper on their end.

The main decision factors were the fact that Maestro is a Canadian company with a full software suite including all the bells and whistles comparable to other software solutions, but with a more customized approach.

“The biggest deciding factor when choosing a software solution like maestro*ERP  is knowing the fact that you are supporting a Canadian business and you are involving yourself with a company that is construction focused”.
