FotoNotes vs. Viewpoint ProContractor

Any scenario where you are managing off-site work tasks, especially if those work tasks involve virtual verification and media.

ProContractor is a great fit if you are looking to make the jump to an ERP (accounting) system that offers a higher level of complexity and controls than what QuickBooks or Xero have to offer. However, some of those increased features of accounting controls, vendor compliance management, project contracting and documentation, come at the cost of lost integrations. ProContractor is completely siloed and does not openly communicate with other platforms (project management, bank accounts, etc).

• Creating products that are highly configurable for the user.
• Creating API integrations.
• Understanding and adapting to mobile user needs.

• Lots of reports available to generate

• Industry/market specification.
• Expansion and scale.
• Look and design.

• More of a project management "vibe".
• Less spreadsheet and complex processes to do things.

ProContractor support has gone through good times and bad times. However, now that ViewPoint is owned by Trimble the support has been great and stable. Support is good to respond on average urgency tickets. The only complaint is that for urgent tickets communication can be slow even though the support team is working on the issue.

Procore beats Viewpoint hands down but can integrate well with Viewpoint Vista accounting software. I think that if the Viewpoint software was more flexible if they were more interested in patches, updates, and hearing customer feedback in the way the Procore does, that they would actually have the opportunity to corner the market.

• Reduced our labor spend due to integration and automation.
• Reduced subcontracting burdens due to advanced mobile features (i.e., eliminated the need for homework, uploading, and transcription after job completion).

• Procontractor allows our company to visualize the site and figure out the problematic areas that can't be seen just from plans.
