Procore

The future of construction projects is Procore

Comments: Procore is the king of remote working especially for administrative tasks. Documents are shared and stored within Procore and seamless communication across departments and teams. It keeps me ahead of all happenings in our sites. Lastly Procore integrates with so many tools which harmonize our our business workflows.

Pros:

I really had challenges using the basic project management tool for construction projects. They wouldn't fully cover all the diverse needs. Then this one-day and one of my client actually recommended Procore and in a week's time we had already deployed Procore. And I can attest that there is so much difference between Procore and those basic project management tools. Procore is crafted and tailored for the complex stuff. Having multiple sites running at the same time, we have been able to keep up with all of them without any issues. Monitoring them in every step of the cycle upto completion. Gannt charts are my best feature in Procore. They enable us to clearly represent data in a way that everyone understands and comprehends so as to be on the same page. Procore enable us keep us with accurate and realtime data on finances, budget spend , progress of projects and every other aspect of our projects. It makes it even easy to report to our seniors.

Cons:

Procore is the absolute best there is. We have had a smooth ride with it, all thanks to the diverse community of Users and 24/7 support from the team

GC Using Procore

Comments: Overall, our users love it, and it has empowered our project teams from the office, to the field, to external parties.

Pros:

Great brand known by all. They offer fantastic support and amazing PM tools to empower project teams, from accounting to the field.

Cons:

Financials can be a bit difficult to implement and train users on and accounting integrations may fall short in certain areas.

Alternatives Considered: Autodesk Construction Cloud

Reasons for Choosing Procore: It was PlanGrid at the time and fell apart once taken ove by ACC.

Switched From: Autodesk Construction Cloud

Reasons for Switching to Procore: Same cost but more integration capabilities and stronger brand.

Good at what it does

Pros:

central location for collating and dispensing of information

Cons:

sometimes extra steps are required when they do not feel neccesary

Easy to use when you get the hang of it

Comments: It's not bad but I wouldn't recommend it when compared to other products. A user friendly layout that is efficient and effective would completely change my view. All projects should be easily viewed with an option to filter by customer. I rarely use ProCore and when I do, I have difficulty remembering where to submit an invoice because I have to select 'Commitments' a word that should be replaced with 'Billing'.

Pros:

The billing layout is simple and effective.

Cons:

Poor layout and only limited to viewing one customer at a time.

Procore with SAGE 300 ERP integration

Comments: The cost has been high, but overall the product is serving us well and they continue to work to improve the software. They seem to care about what things need to be fixed to improve the software and will allow beta groups of exiting customers. We have had a positive experience.

Pros:

Procore was able to integrate with our accounting software (SAGE 300) to help reduce duplicate entry. Procore has a very good user interface and has been adopted well including in the field. Procore continues to improve the software and integrations to increase the value and usability.

Cons:

The cost is higher than we would like. Some of the tools are not fully connected to SAGE yet, so the features are not quite as useful. For example subcontractor invoicing is still being connected.
