Overall Satisfaction with Procore

We use procore as our primary project management, quality control and safety documentation tool. Its biggest advantage are real-time project controls, the mobile app and ability to include clients, subcontractors and architects/engineers for increased transparency and better communication.

Pros

  • Real-time project controls help bring the team together instantly. This allows to make quicker adjustments and avoid cost/schedule overruns.
  • The ease-of-use of the mobile app helps our field representatives be involved with Procore quicker than learning a "whole new software". The app is the "lite" version of the desktop allowing quick access to all areas of the project in a few taps.
  • Client, subcontractor and architect/engineer direct involvement with the project on Procore increases transparency, speeds up project communication and overall speeds up the pace of project-related business. Daily, automated emails to remind individuals about their specific open items is a key benefit.
  • Constantly updating and upgrading the tools.

Cons

  • Native scheduling tool
  • Easier financials tool navigation
  • More customization on emails tool
  • Submittals come back quicker.
  • RFIs are answered quicker.
  • Defects are corrected quicker.
  • Potential change orders are tracked better.
  • Sage 300CRE
Sage is great for accounting and financials, but falls short when it come real-time project controls and documentation.
It's suited for medium-sized construction companies doing multiple projects at once. It requires buy-in throughout the project team/company in order to be successful. It requires additional training and follow-up to ensure team members are using all of the applicable tools available to get most ROI. This is not a set-it-and-forget-it SAAS. Procore disrupts the "old way" of thinking as far as project controls.
