ArchiOffice vs Procore

• ArchiOffice helps me manage my time throughout the work day.
• ArchiOffice helps me to understand how much time I have allocated to each client and to give me a realistic view on how long each task actually takes.
• ArchiOffice gives me a breakdown of the time and expenses our company has allocated to each project.

• Photos Log. The photo galleries are easy to document progress, incidents, and a continuous before and after sequence. It is like a yearbook for the project and it is gratifying to see all the progress.
• Directory. The directory is the who's who for all our projects. It helps update information once and have it right on all the projects. Since people can look up the numbers themselves in the field, I spend less time reciting phone numbers.
• Drawings. I can upload all the drawings in a batch and keep track of revisions for easy admin. In the field, zooming in on a backlit tablet takes care of "can't see it" complaints in poor light conditions and lost reading glasses.
• Change Orders. Finally, the whole workflow ends up in one place. Email and attachments are in Procore tied to one change order instead of stuck in a remote laptop's email.
• Locations and QR codes. Existing signage hardly ever matches the original drawings. Creating temporary door signs to match the drawings seemed to help communication and reduce confusion. I couldn't help but add the Procore Location QR codes to the signs since the tech was so cool. Scanning the code with your phone/tablet automatically picks the location to make entering new items into a punch list easier.
• Updates. Procore has a feature wish list. They are really good about rolling out new features. They also roll out features so service isn't interrupted for a long time or in prime work time. This is why I like cloud-based apps. My software is always current with the newest features for the same price.

• I would like to see more of a scheduling component, to manage projects across our project team.
• I would like to receive a notification if a project is going over budget.
• I have to remember to double click to clear a contact, or the contact will be overridden.

• ProCore has been very good at rolling out updates. That being said, the Financial reporting still has room for improvement. While it is not full-blown accounting, it has the potential to replace such at the Project Management-level. They have made improvements and will continue to improve, I believe, to make the financial tools better.
• Success has its downsides, and one potential weak point is that, as more and more users adopt Procore, it can be a challenge for the servers to keep up. It is not uncommon to get Loss of Service messages at peak times (end of the month, end of the year, etc). The outages haven't lasted for extended periods of time (usually an hour or less), but it IS a leap of faith to have Procore and the "cloud" your sole avenue for reaching your critical data.
• It would be nice to be able to easily modify certain forms. For example, we are a Federal contractor and must use very rigid government forms for simple things like submittals and daily reports. A greater degree of flexibility to modify the output of these forms/reports to meet our specific needs would be great. We have tried to utilize the "custom report/form service" that they offer, but have had mixed results. What we really want is the ability to modify the output how we need it.

• We definitely use less paper! Used to relay on paper plans - set after set - many wasted. I now do all my work online.
• The time I save with organization allows me to put more focus on planning and delivering a quality product. Project owners recognize the difference in our process since switching to Procore. Definitely a win-win.
• Procore is a sizable investment, I can understand the reluctance to go all-in. There will be some who, getting caught in the hype, imagine Procore as a magic pill to solve all company problems just by signing the check. The people will be among the first to say it was a mistake.
• Making Procore work requires a great amount of effort, but if there are a few people with vision it should be worth it.
