Cubicost by Glodon

Tier A · Workable

BIM-based 5D quantity takeoff and cost estimating for construction

Glodon's Cubicost suite (TAS/TRB/TBQ/TME) for BIM quantity takeoff and 5D cost management, with a Malaysia entity plus local resellers and documented Malaysian project case studies.

Pros

+ Powerful BIM 5D takeoff (auto-deductions, rebar)
+ Local Malaysia entity + resellers
+ Proven on Malaysian projects
+ Integrates cost + schedule

Cons

− Estimating-only (no e-invoice/accounting)
− Steep learning curve
− Per-module licensing adds up
− China-HQ product (localization depth varies)

Malaysia note

Used by Malaysian QS and contractors for BQ and estimating, with Glodon Malaysia providing local sales and support — but it is a takeoff/estimating tool, not an LHDN/MyInvois one, so it pairs with accounting software.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-based via Malaysian resellers (per-module: TAS/TRB/TBQ).

Financio (by ABSS)

Tier A · Workable

Cloud accounting built for Malaysian SMEs and non-accountants

The cloud product from ABSS (formerly MYOB South Asia), a long-established Malaysian accounting vendor — aimed at startups and small businesses that want simplicity.

Pros

+ Backed by the established ABSS/MYOB lineage
+ Genuinely easy for non-accountants
+ Cloud-native
+ MyInvois included on paid tiers

Cons

− Lighter feature set than SQL/AutoCount for complex needs
− E-Invoice gated to paid tiers
− Smaller construction/job-costing depth
− Less reseller muscle

Malaysia note

Handles MyInvois e-invoicing via API on the Essentials and Premier tiers (generating XML/JSON and submitting to LHDN), and pairs with ABSS desktop for existing users — SST-ready throughout.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Subscription tiers (Free / Essentials / Premier).
