Construction Software Companies & Consultants in Florham Park, NJ

Accordant Company is a software reseller and implementation firm with its headquarters in New Jersey. It helps contractors, real estate businesses and other organizations choose, set up and support accounting and ERP platforms. The firm is a Platinum partner with Sage and a Gold partner with Acumatica. It works with clients across the United States and Canada and says it has served more than 5,000 organizations since it was founded in 2005.

Construction Software Portfolio

Construction and real estate are still the core of Accordant's business. Founder Bob Sandelands started the company as a certified Sage partner focused on that sector, and its product range still reflects those roots. Buyers comparing providers will find options for firms at different stages of growth:

• Sage Intacct Construction, a cloud financial platform with dashboards, automation and multi-entity consolidation
• Acumatica Construction, a cloud ERP with a mobile app that covers accounting, project management and field reporting
• Sage 100 Contractor, aimed at mid-sized builders moving off spreadsheets or generic bookkeeping tools
• Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate, suited to larger multi-entity contractors, property firms and businesses that run service agreements
• Sage Construction Management (formerly called Corecon), Sage Estimating and Sage Field Operations

Beyond the core ERP, the company links these systems to more than 40 third-party products. These cover AP/AR automation, payroll, HR, CRM, timekeeping, expense management and analytics. It also sells its own add-on products through its Accordant Software group, along with checks, forms and training resources.

How Engagements Work

Accordant runs projects in six phases: data gathering, discovery, build and modeling, testing by the client's subject-matter experts, end-user training and go-live. A typical project has one or two meetings a week and takes about 14 to 20 weeks.

Clients can choose a Standard plan with full customization, a shorter Small Business plan, or a Pre-Built option that deploys faster with less tailoring. After launch, customers can sign up for Basic, Standard or Premium tiers of Accordant Managed Services. These range from routine updates to a dedicated account manager and proactive system tuning.

The firm says it only takes on projects it is confident it can deliver. It also follows what it calls a "No Rearview Mirrors" approach, meant to avoid unpleasant surprises after launch.

Team and Specialized Groups

The company has more than 100 employees organized into separate groups. An Information Delivery Group builds custom reports and dashboards, and a Client Success team handles requests and training. A Client Enrichment Group offers optimization and advanced instruction, and an Ongoing Support team fixes problems after launch.

Leadership includes CEO Reid Sandelands, who previously spent five years at Goldman Sachs, along with executives who have worked at Intacct, Sage and other software firms. An enterprise consulting group advises larger customers, including companies backed by private equity, and a director of AI and IT transformation leads the use of automation.

Besides construction and real estate, Accordant serves manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, nonprofit, financial services, franchise, hospitality and professional services organizations. It is headquartered in Florham Park, and its staff work across North America. New Jersey contractors looking for a nearby partner with wide experience in Sage and Acumatica construction software may find it a practical option.
