Newforma Project Center vs Procore

• Newforma sits on top of our previous filing system (Windows Explorer). This was very important to us because we didn't have to change the project numbering system in order to fit Newforma's design. Also, if we were to decide we didn't like it, we could easily revert back to our previous methods.
• Newforma does a great job of indexing information, making searches much easier by being able to use keywords instead of knowing the exact file location. No more traversing through countless folders before finding what you need.
• Newforma keeps a read receipt for everything that you submit through it for issue tracking, and keeps an easy to read record of your workflow.

• change Orders. The Change Event tool captures all possible changes on the project. We use this to organize, communicate and decide. We have been able to capture a lot of dollars by using this process.
• Efficiency. We have been able to have fewer office staff to manage the amount of project/$ we run through Procore. We use custom forms too to produce all the various documents our customers require for payment and it has cut our billing time down greatly.
