Overall Satisfaction with Procore

Procore is being used as a financial management, project management, and delivery tool. Procore cuts out the fluff, and gets right to the point with tasks and reminders. Everyday reminders make it impossible for others to forget their roles and responsibilities. The drawings tool makes sure that every member can access it remotely and see the most up to date drawings. Overall, I believe Procore is an excellent tool for all businesses.

Pros

  • Drawings.
  • Tasks.
  • RFIs.

Cons

  • Financials tool is very confusing and has a steep learning curve.
  • The lack of customization on the daily reports hinders it from being great.
  • Separate tab for Excel type sheets/forms.
  • Significant amount of paper saved.
  • Ease of communication with the field and office team.
  • Higher productivity due to constant reminders.
Procore seemed significantly easier to use and collaborate with.
  • Gain visibility into projects
  • Ensure information is accessible and up to date
  • Report on incidents and inspections
  • Identify job site risks
  • Track cost impacts from the field
  • Improve forecast accuracy
Gaining visibility into the projects was crucial for our on-site team to understand exactly the challenges we would be facing and how we would be tackling them. Information being in a hub and up to date also helped us with this. Reports were streamlined and very easy to complete and use. Job site risks were reported and distributed in a way where everyone could see. The forecast helped us out a lot, as in 1 hub we could decide whether we could work or not (we need clear weather).
As a subcontractor, this part of Procore has been crucial for our business. Procore tied in the GC, our subcontractors, and the field team perfectly. Everyone was aware of how quickly the project was progressing and if there were any issues or changes. Once, while on the job site, the GC and our office team had a meeting and made live changes to the drawings in a way where we could follow along with them.
Procore is an excellent project management tool. Thanks to Procore, once you post it, you never have to think about it ever again, as it will remind the assignee repeatedly until the task is finished/question is answered. Procore's customization drawings tool is also excellent for live tracking from the home office while on the field.

Integrating Procore

Although the integration was fairly smooth, there were a few bumps where I wasn't sure on how to proceed even after contacting the chat support. I believe that Procore's implementation team should do more than just try to guide the business. If the implementation team took a more hands-on approach, the implementation could be much smoother.
