Business Overview
With over 35 years of experience, we’ve learned a few things about what Construction companies need and want when it comes to technology. We’ve seen many changes in computers and how they’re used in the Construction industry. Syscon helps clients navigate these changes to save time and money, which goes straight to their bottom line.
When it comes to construction, you won’t find another IT company with as much expertise and knowledge in using technology, hardware and software, to run a construction business. We’re a Microsoft Business Partner with all the IT-specific support and solutions including cloud hosting. Add our Sage Business Partner and Sage 100 Contractor Third Party Developer creds to our 25+ years of implementing and supporting S100C, along with custom integrations, analytical tools, and field time collection software, and you’ll know we can talk your language, not just ‘geek speak.’
We've designed and built custom add-ons that fully integrate with Sage 100 Contractor. These include our Field Integrated Time (F.I.T.) System, Cost to Complete, Indirect Cost Allocation, Positive Pay, and Over/Under billing (aka Work in Progress), to name a few. We have short video introductions to these tools and we hold regular webinars to learn more about what they do and to see them in action!
All this software needs a home, so we have a Network team that provides full-service IT, including Azure Cloud Hosting, Backups, Security, and on premise Network support. Sometimes, it’s not so obvious if the problem you’re experiencing is related to the software or the computers. We provide on place to call so you don’t get passed back and forth across multiple companies, waiting for help. We have team members at Syscon who know the software AND the infrastructure it runs on. This saves time and frustration so you can get back to work!

When it comes to Sage 100 Contractor, your computers, and your construction business, you won’t find another company with as much knowledge and experience as Syscon! Ever since the first release for Windows (Master Builder), we’ve created many analysis tools that pull the information straight from the dataset, and in some cases, creates the entry, ready for you to post. Years later when Sage purchased the product, we because Sage Third Party Developers specifically for Sage 100 Contractor, earning the Developer of the Year award in 2012. Here are some of clients’ favorites: Positive Pay – Bank fraud is big business! Positive Pay allows the bank to match the payment information from your checks to what is presented for them to pay. Our Positive Pay program pulls the check run data from Sage 100 Contractor into a format that can be uploaded to the bank – no retyping or re-creating the details, which could result in an error that might cause a legitimate check to be declined by the bank; how embarrassing! Our standard template is accepted by many banks, and since this is our program, we can also make modifications to customize it for special requests. Advanced Over/Under Billing, Work in Progress Management – The Over/Under billing report in Sage 100 Contractor is a good report, but some clients need additional analytics, great flexibility, or in some cases, an easier way to manage a large number of jobs each month. This programs extracts all the necessary job information to an Excel template. Then you and your PM’s can work through the details, make adjustments as needed, then send the final Journal Entry back to Sage 100 Contractor to be posted. Since this is our program, we can also modify the template to meet specific needs, making this tool very valuable. Indirect Cost Allocation – There are quite a few expenses that are not attributable to one specific job, but are in support of getting the work done. These might include a shop, equipment expenses, Project Managers, or other costs. With this program, specific costs can be selected, then you choose the allocation parameters such as by hours, by revenue, or by cost. Review the results, make adjustments as needed, then when you’re ready, push a button to move the Journal Entry to Sage 100 Contractor for posting. HUGE time-saver. Cost to Complete with Power BI Dashboard – The Cost to Complete reports in Sage are pretty good, but some clients need more flexibility, have multiple PM’s who need to provide input, and/or additional parameters to consider. Our program pulls detailed cost and labor hours data straight from Sage 100 Contractor into an Excel workbook. Each PM can view all of their jobs in detail and enter adjustments based on their knowledge of the status of their jobs. The data is then submitted to a company wide database that can aggregates all jobs. Add in the Power BI Dashboard to analyze and visualize the cost to complete results across all PMs and you have a powerful tool that will get the owners and PMs in a lively discussion, allowing you to call out at-risk jobs, celebrate the wins, and minimize ‘surprises.’ IT Services
All this great software needs a place to live! You count on this information to run your business, so it’s important that the network and computers are solid. To that end, we have an amazing Network Team offering:
