With stack this is almost instantaneous and it allows multiple projects to be open at once in multiple tabs or windows. Even though our older software was on computer and not web based, it required long waits to open a project and switch between projects.

Stack is also incredibly fast to navigate and bring up projects.

As we are primarily a Mac based office, this is great and does not require virtualization to run windows based software. The fact that this software is web based is great and makes this platform agnostic. The ability to log in and pull up all of our project drawings on any computer. The development team continues to add great features, some of which bring feature parity with competitors, but others are unique and now classified as 'can't live without' around our office. The speed and being able to natively use it on Mac make this software great.

Stack was a significant upgrade to our takeoff process. I am also waiting for the symbol search tool. It does integrate with Excel reports, but Excel charges a monthly subscription for that. 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. I can't rearrange the sheets with the tabs on top. But once you set it, it remembers the changes for that page only. I can't change the default dimension color or size. 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.

I can easily remove one section by using the Geometric Report instead of having to dig through all the plans. It also helps if there is a change to the plan later. It makes my quotes much more powerful when I say exactly where I found each product. Being able to add labels to the takeoff is crucial. I can even copy and paste a line several times instead of having to draw it out each time. The cloud tool is useful for items I have a question about. You can dimension the plans when needed and add call outs. The lines and symbols are easy to read and quick to set up. All the work is saved so I can back and reference it or change it if plans change. I can export final dwgs and reports so that my sales rep can go back and see exactly what I quoted and where. The search function to find past projects is imperative. You can quickly see what's coming up and space them out when a larger project takes more time. The calendar makes organizing projects by due date easy. This product is incredibly simple to use, but a very powerful tool. Customer support right in app and always quick to respond.
