ProContractor... A Great ERP with Limited Integrations
- Performs most project cost accounting features required.
- Performs vendor contract management well.
- Allows for multi-company/division and intercompany accounting.
- The program is siloed, so connecting to other software or databases is not going to happen.
- When hosted, the program can run slow.
- The program is not going to perform complex accounting tasks with subledgers.
- The program does not do much in terms of HR other than payroll.
From a project management prospective look elsewhere.
- Lots of reports available to generate
- Software processes run very slowly
- PO receipting can be cumbersome, especially if you have to make changes on the fly.
- Accounting.
- Budgeting.
- More of a project management "vibe".
- Less spreadsheet and complex processes to do things.
ProContractor - Earthwork Review
- Procontractor is great with direct imports from CAD files.
- It is great with balancing sites or specific areas on site.
- Procontractor has multiple views and reports that help you to view the dirt movement on the site (grid, profile, 3D).
- Procontractor could do better with the quality of plan images it allows for importing in. We have plan sheets that will be downgraded in quality once imported. This makes the contour lines difficult to trace and see.
- Takeoffs for trenching could be added with greater detail options (cut classes, etc.).
