"We have found the team from Drum to be both responsive to our needs and open to changes and improvements. Implementing Drum has allowed us to significantly improve the visibility of our projects' performance to the team and is resulting more timely and accurate management of our projects."
"Drum has been a game-changer for our business. After struggling with Workflow Max, we were searching for a fresh and user-friendly solution. Drum's clean interface and intuitive layout have significantly improved our time sheeting, quoting, project performance visibility, and billing processes just to name a few. The Drum team are incredibly responsive to our needs and open to our suggestions. Their willingness to adapt the software to our specific requirements made it an even better fit for our business. I highly recommend Drum to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient management tool."
"Drum has become our single source of information for project scheduling, tracking, QA and correspondence. We used to use multiple platforms across our engineering, drafting and administration teams but now all staff use Drum to achieve a more effective and efficient workflow. Our goal was initially to replace our existing scheduling system. Drum has given us so much more, and ultimately we now have more streamlined systems and procedures across multiple areas of our business."
"Drums philosophy of being a 'single source of truth' has allowed us to manage project data simply and accurately. It has helped streamline our processes and we have found the team to be accommodating in all regards."
