This product is incredibly simple to use, but a very powerful tool. The calendar makes organizing projects by due date easy. You can quickly see what's coming up and space them out when a larger project takes more time. The search function to find past projects is imperative.

Doing takeoffs is much easier now. I can export final dwgs and reports so that my sales rep can go back and see exactly what I quoted and where. All the work is saved so I can back and reference it or change it if plans change.

The lines and symbols are easy to read and quick to set up. You can dimension the plans when needed and add call outs. The cloud tool is useful for items I have a question about. I can even copy and paste a line several times instead of having to draw it out each time.

Being able to add labels to the takeoff is crucial. It makes my quotes much more powerful when I say exactly where I found each product. It also helps if there is a change to the plan later. I can easily remove one section by using the Geometric Report instead of having to dig through all the plans.

The ability to use two screens is awesome! When I find a particular detail and have to match it to the plan, it is much easier to have one screen with the detail and one with the plan.

Some things are not customizable. I can't change the default dimension color or size. But once you set it, it remembers the changes for that page only.

I can't rearrange the sheets with the tabs on top. I have to open them in the order I need. So if I find a detail on another sheet, I may have to close some tabs and them reopen them in the order I need.

It does integrate with Excel reports, but Excel charges a monthly subscription for that. I am also waiting for the symbol search tool.

The fact that it is all online and our ops guys can see the plans at the jobsite from their phone.

I love using your software but there are 2 things that I would like for you to improve.Sometimes I upload multiple pages for a project.When I am working on the takeoff you can see On the left the plans that you are working on listed on listed by plan name . It would be nice to be able to go to the pages that you are working on by simply clicking on the page name that is listed on the left side.Slope factorIts great that we are able to measure the basic slope by using the built in slope factor calculator. But that is only helpful for measuring the basic slope of the roof area and the rake and sidewall. But it would be great if you can add the valley and hip factor as well. It is hard to get the exact measurement without that because the hip / valley slope factor is different than the basic slope of the roof. Please see the link below that will explain what I am talking about in regards to the hip and valley. [sensitive content hidden]

Stack is customizable and formatted to provide a professional image with as much or as little detail as is needed.

Just didn't have project management implemented yet.

Using the takeoffs, items, and assemblies I am able to create accurate proposals and deliver them in a timely manner. This has increased my efficiency in immeasurable ways. Takeoffs that took me multiple days to finish by hand are now able to be completed in a couple hours.

When working on large projects, sometimes the system gets laggy. It only happens with the largest plans I deal with, when there are dozens of takeoffs being measured.

We use a small portion of the STACK Product to do takeoffs on roofing, Siding and Metal only. It is a service we offer to our customers and the time savings of doing it digitaly and not with a print and scales is priceless. We are at a point that we can now charge a fee for the service as well

We only use a small portion of the product but pay for the whole thing. It would be great if you could pay for only the segments you use.

it's fairly easy to use if you only use the basics. The think that I like and the reason why I personally pushed for this software is the fact that is web-based providing liberty to use any platform (Mac or PC) and basically work from anywhere.

It's easy to use for those who work the basics. For others like me that like to get the most out of it, quite honestly there is a lot to improve. I would need to go through a whole lot of questions and requests I've made through tech support and find out that 80% or more of them are not features included in Stack. It's a little disappointing the way some aspects are handled.

I love the uploading of plans, it works so well! I love being able to develop our own products in the database and input our own expenses. It was so easy to convert our company information into Stack and input everything we needed to set up every job! We do all exteriors and it has the ability to measure and convert every product and need we have into the job project, plans, and estimates. EASY Training products and wonderful customer service!!

I can't really complain. They have integrated and added so many other programs and resources that you can find endless help. We Love This Product & Company!!

Stack is intuitive and easy to use. The online training and support was very helpful.Takeoff customization is great for estimating purposes.

Some items can be difficult to create a takeoff for.

The best feature for estimating is the TakeOff feature. It allows for a smooth transition from taking a set of plans off to producing an estimate.

There is really only one thing. I wish there was a way to create a folder on the TakeOff page which allowed me to group each category of takeoff. I can be frustrating trying to find takeoff quantities when I already have a large amount of takeoffs already.

What I like most about STACK is the reporting feature. Once I perform a takeoff and run the report I can see quantities and weights of the steel on the project. It speeds up the entire estimating process.

My least like is the cloud based system. I know everything is cloud based now, but when there is an internet outage or I am on location without signal or WIFI I don't have access to the info.

Takeoff software is easy to use and fast.

Cannot customize estimating enough to use it.

The takeoff features are awesome, and I find it to have a plethora of functions that I really enjoy and help us be more efficient. The speed, accessibility, and thus far great capacity at handling large plans is awesome.

Still waiting on some changes for the cost proposal functions, being able to customize those more would really take this program to the next level, and help us integrate our partners onto the platform. Items such as being able to adjust tax layout, relabel non-measured costs, have items with costs saved under non measured costs, tax rate displayed on the quote for the customer instead of needing to manually enter this every time, and a more user friendly approach to being able to display different currencies would be very appreciated.

I love the access to customer support, and stack is helpful. The quantity take off feature is one of my favorites, but still needs work. Especially for redundant clicking for typical rooms. An easier "cut paste" option would be nice.

Software is a tad bit on the glitchy side. Would love to see ui get as smooth/intuitive as Planswift.

I like that it is easy to use when creating estimates to send to customers. Uploading plans and doing a take off are very simple task .

The new update is not the most functional when it comes to creating the project on the calendrer.

It's very easy to use. I like that everything is in the cloud. I don't have to worry about losing my take offs.

It's very expensive, especially since I only use the take off feature.

We really like the take off features, for it helps us to enable that the material we need and the waste is accounted for so that things are done accurately.

Sometimes the pitch measurement is not accurate

The software is incredibly easy to use. After one tutorial from the stack support team(which is also a huge plus), I felt very comfortable navigating the platform. Assemblies are a fantastic feature.

I could use a tutorial(maybe it already exists) for interchangeability from stack to estimating software like Sage, or Project Management software like procore. This will likely be a next step for the company.

The take off feature is the best tool, for we are accurate on measurements up to 99% of the time.

Was very confusing to for our pricing needs, simplified it for us.

Easy introduction into software for first time user. A lot features to use.

A lot of releases to the software are hard to keep up with.
