ControlBoard and Foundation Software
ControlBoard® reads your Foundation Software database directly over the internet, read-only and on a schedule, so nothing is installed on your network. Customers, jobs and their activities, employees, equipment and subcontractors arrive ready to schedule, and job-cost entries feed job cost, so the schedule and the cost report start from the same records your accountants keep. Foundation stays the system of record.

Common questions
Do we install anything for the Foundation integration?
No. Your Foundation database is reachable over the internet, so ControlBoard connects to it directly. Nothing runs on your network or your servers.
Does ControlBoard change anything in Foundation?
No. ControlBoard reads with a read-only login and writes nothing back, so Foundation stays exactly as your accountants keep it.
Does ControlBoard read Foundation job cost?
Yes. Job-cost entries come in by job, so ControlBoard can set actual cost beside what is scheduled and forecast.
