Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating programs like Certified Payroll Solution and Construction Application for Payment Solution.  We have been able to greatly increase our customer base since we now have the resources to quickly and accurately complete tasks that were so time consuming in the past.
Your customer support has been invaluable as well.  We know it is usually something that we have done when things don't run as expected and thankfully you have always been able to guide us quickly back into smooth running.
Keep up the good work.  We always look forward to the next upgrade, as we know you are always thinking of ways to make great programs even better.

Sincerely Yours,

    An Excellent Solution
We work with Owners, Developers, large and small G.C.'s, all having different versions of their own pay applications.  After months of hand writing and calculating each individual pay app, we looked for a solution that would integrate with QuickBooks or at least pull from QuickBooks so we could be sure our invoices matched our pay apps.  After looking on the QuickBooks site I called CAPS and spoke with Nancy about our situation.  She assured me that our transition would be smooth and she would support us if need be.  Our file is rather large (approx. 142 megs's) and Nancy walked us through a re-build of our file and after that the CAPS system has delivered as promised.  No more hand written pay apps, checking and re-checking calculations, problems with carrying over numbers from last months pay app, retention, lien releases and much, much more, CAPS works.  It's as simple as that!

   Software with Support
If you are doing public work and need to submit Applications for Payment, CAPS by Sunburst is the ticket.  This program works hand in hand with QuickBooks.  You can print right onto a AIA G-702 from the program.  Your contract sums, change orders and retainage are pulled right from QuickBooks.  The installation and setup of the program was very easy.  The challenge is having your QuickBooks setup correctly.  That is where Sunburst Software Support really comes into play.  Sunburst was there to help me make adjustments in QuickBooks, which gives CAPS the information to pull into it and make the perfect payment application.  This program makes a small contractor like myself look professional.  Big bonus for me is that I have QuickBooks setup even better thanks to Sunburst Support.

   HELPFUL CAPS
Before I found out about CAPS (Construction Application for Payment Solution) I was using the old typing each form system.  A woman from another construction company told me about it and I actually bought it and started using it before she did.  I feel that it saves a lot of time.  It is much more user friendly then when I first got it.  The only issue I have with it is more to do with the way this office is run.  Change orders are sent the same day rather than before hand and when a change order is rejected it's hard to remove it but I can work around that.  For the most part I feel that it is a very good product and would recommend it to anyone although I must admit I have not tried any other programs.
