Overall Satisfaction with Procore
Procore is used in our organization to manage our portfolio of construction and IT projects. It is used primarily by the PMO, however, it is also used as the primary source of project portfolio information by our executive suite. Procore provides visibility of our projects, houses project documents, tracks budget, change orders, and overall health of a project.
- Budget. Procore is very helpful in tracking budget and cost variance. The financial views are easy to read and I like the ability to have direct costs calculate cost variance against the budget.
- Document housing. Procore allows the user to create multiple folders within the document tab for the project.
- Microsoft Project upload of Gantt. Procore allows you to upload a Gantt from Microsoft Project and will produce reports based on the data from your upload.
- I'd like the ability to update the status of a schedule imported from a Gantt without having to update the status on the actual Gantt itself, and reloading the new Gantt into Procore.
Our company is just beginning to use some of the these capabilities. It is too early in our own process to answer this question.
- Previously, PMO spent anywhere between 10-40 hours a month putting together monthly "report-out's" on various projects from the company portfolio. With Procore, the information is located in one application for our allowed users to access. We now run monthly reportp-out's live with Procore projected to the audience.
This is the first construction project management software I have used since I'm an IT project manager.
