Cubicost by Glodon vs SQL Account
Two Malaysia field service software options, compared side by side for Malaysia trades.
Which should you choose?
SQL Account edges ahead on our Malaysia tiering (Tier S vs A), but both are workable — the right pick depends on your trade, region, and the Malaysia-specific notes below.
Cubicost by Glodon
Tier A · WorkableBIM-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.
SQL Account
Tier S · RecommendedLeading accounting & payroll software in Malaysia, LHDN e-Invoice ready
The other half of Malaysia's SME accounting duopoly — very widely deployed and used as a training standard, in on-prem and SQL Cloud editions.
Pros
- + Huge market share + accountant familiarity
- + Built-in MyInvois submission
- + Strong support/training ecosystem
- + Reliable for full-set accounting
Cons
- − Interface dated
- − Primarily desktop-first
- − Mobile/cloud experience trails cloud-natives
- − Reseller-dependent support
Malaysia note
One-click MyInvois submission is built in (XML/JSON to LHDN with a QR validation), once your ERP is registered with MyInvois — with full SST support and Malaysian localization.
