by

Scottsdale, Arizona—March 31, 2026—Computer Guidance Corporation, the leading developer of cloud-based ERP solutions for the construction industry, today announced that Computer Guidance’s eCMS v.4.2 ERP solution was selected as a 2026 Top Product by Constructech.

Constructech unveiled the winners of the Constructech Top Products 2026 Awards, honoring the most innovative, influential, and future shaping technologies in commercial residential, and infrastructure construction, and the broader AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) ecosystem. This year’s winners reflect a marketplace undergoing rapid transformation—where AI (artificial intelligence), robotics, automation, digital twins, and connected platforms are no longer emerging trends but essential tools for building smarter, safer, and more sustainably.

The Constructech Top Products program recognizes solutions that demonstrate exceptional innovation, strong customer adoption, and measurable impact on real world construction workflows. Each product is evaluated for its ability to solve industry challenges, improve productivity, enhance safety, and advance digital maturity across commercial, industrial, heavy civil, and residential sectors.

“Data is the key to successful construction projects, but often information isn’t easily accessible,” says Peggy Smedley, editorial director, Constructech. “Computer Guidance Corp., solves this with eCMS v4.2, which helps turn data into insights and delivers it to the right people at the right time. Congrats to Computer Guidance on the 2026 Constructech Top Products win.”

Introducing Our New Podcast: Hard Hats & Data Chats  

We’re excited to share something new with you! Computer Guidance has officially launched our podcast, Hard Hats & Data Chats — a series dedicated to real conversations at the intersection of construction, technology, and data-driven decision making.

🎙 Episode 1 is now live!

In our first episode of Hard Hats and Data Chats, Fraser Gallop and Steve Gross introduce the series and dive into one of construction’s biggest challenges: turning everyday operational data into timely, actionable insights.

They discuss how ERPs capture essential information, why accessing it is often harder than collecting it, and how spreadsheet‑based workflows create delays, version issues, and reporting headaches.

They also share real client stories—from month‑end WIP struggles to the impact of moving from nightly to twice‑daily data refreshes—showing how better data flow can transform project oversight and decision‑making.

Join Fraser and Steve as they lay the foundation for becoming a truly data‑driven construction organization.

W2 Error

by

Dear Valued Customer,

It has come to our attention that the states of Arizona and Kansas are rejecting the W2 electronic file for the following error message:

Error Code#: 4200 Line or Position#: 1406 Record: RS Field Position: 320-330. Incorrect field

The field length is incorrect in position 320-330 of the RS record. Positions 328-330 are coming in as blank, and they need to be zero if there is not another value that populates in that field.

This error message may not be limited to Arizona and Kansas.  You need to receive updated program PRP440.  This will be installed as Quick Fix 552 (QF552).

This program fix will be installed automatically for hosted customer.  If you are enterprise customers, please create an on-line ticket to request the install of QF552.

Customer Support Website

The majority of the states have state specific programs and will not be affected. A handful of states use the “generic” PRP440 program which include Arizona and Kansas.

Thank you!
