HomeFront Software Signs 40 New Builders for Job Simplicity, QuickBooks Edition

Feb. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Calgary, Canada – February 9, 2010 - HomeFront Software™ (www.homefront-software.com), provider of home building and construction management software to contractors throughout Canada and the United States, announces it has signed up 40 new builders running the QuickBooks Edition of its popular Job Simplicity suite (www.jobsimplicity.com). Job Simplicity provides affordable construction management tools - including estimating, scheduling, and job costing - to small commercial and residential builders. It also features plug-and-play integration with popular accounting systems including QuickBooks®, Simply Accounting, and Peachtree by Sage Quantum. The addition of 40 new builders comes as a result of HomeFront’s participation in this year’s International Builders Show (IBS) 2010, in Las Vegas.

According to Daryl Shenner, CEO of HomeFront Software, “We’re very pleased with the overwhelmingly positive response at IBS this year.  It confirms what we’ve long believed about the need in the market for affordable estimating, scheduling, and job costing software designed specifically for small residential and commercial builders.”   

Available in both commercial and residential versions, Job Simplicity features a plug-and-play integration with QuickBooks and other popular accounting systems making it easy for small builders to take advantage of sophisticated construction management tools without the additional cost and complication of replacing their existing accounting software. In one powerful box of software, Job Simplicity provides tools for sales and marketing, estimating, bid management, purchasing, scheduling, job costing, and service coordination.

Shenner points to HomeFront’s experience developing software for larger builders as the source and inspiration for Job Simplicity. “Because software technology is much more scalable today, we were able to rely on our experience with larger builders and adapt Job Simplicity to the meet the construction management needs and budget of smaller firms. Job Simplicity provides them with powerful features for job costing, estimating and scheduling that allow them to bid, build, and manage just like their larger competitors.”
