Cubicost by Glodon vs Sage UBS (Sage Malaysia)

Two Malaysia field service software options, compared side by side for Malaysia trades.

Which should you choose?

Cubicost by Glodon is the safer default — Sage UBS (Sage Malaysia) carries a reputation caution (see below), while Cubicost by Glodon does not. Choose Sage UBS (Sage Malaysia) only if its specific strengths clearly outweigh that, and read the warning first.

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).

Sage UBS (Sage Malaysia)

Tier A · Workable

Long-running localized accounting (UBS) plus mid-market Sage 300/X3

⚠ Sage's direction for the "UBS" line has shifted under the Access Group acquisition — confirm the current product/branding and support continuity before relying on the legacy UBS product.

Sage UBS has been a Malaysian SME staple since 1988 (now also branded Access UBS), while Sage 300/X3 serve larger multi-entity firms needing job costing.

Pros

+ Deep legacy install base + partner network
+ Job-costing for contractors (Sage 300/X3)
+ Scales from SME (UBS) to mid-market
+ SST + e-invoice paths

Cons

− Branding/ownership confusion (Sage UBS vs Access UBS)
− E-invoicing may need a third-party Access Point (e.g. SESAMi)
− Legacy UI
− Enterprise tiers pricey

Malaysia note

MyInvois/LHDN compliance is available, with Sage 300 routing e-invoices to LHDN via SESAMi as an Access Point — and the job-costing modules suit construction and multi-department contractors.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-based (UBS one-off via partners; 300/X3 enterprise quote).
