Overall Satisfaction with Procore

It is being used by our project management department and occasionally by accounting. It helps us to maintain financial records, design developments in our project, and track insurance, which is extremely important.
  • Track insurance: you are given advanced notice if/when your contractor's insurance is expiring.
  • Track budget: you can see how much your budget is changing against your financial commitments and what manual adjustments have been made.
  • Reports: you can make a report for almost anything, which is great because different project managers have different styles of tracking and managing things.
  • Choosing when you get notified of expiring insurance.
  • Choosing how often overdue notifications are sent out.
  • If someone is added in a project directory, they should be added to the main directory as well.
Primavera Contract Manager is a software I have used in the past. What was lacking was the email capability and notification capability. Tracking insurance and updated drawings was so difficult. I had to use other tools in conjunction with this software, such as Outlook reminders and Excel sheets, to track things.
I have benefited from the cloud-based access. This was an issue with using other software, because I could not be in the field and have access to all documents related to the project. Being able to make mark-ups on drawings in the field is extremely useful to my team.
  • We have saved time.
  • We have increased efficiency.
  • We have become very dependent on the software to do a lot for us in terms of tracking.
  • Ensure information is accessible and up to date
  • Document job site conditions
  • Report on incidents and inspections
  • Track cost impacts from the field
  • Streamline financial reporting
  • Simplify employee time tracking
Because Procore is could-based, everything related to the projects is extremely accessible. All field reporting can be done in Procore with ease. We are still working on trying to see how it can track employee time better and also help track costs that come from the field.
Scheduling is a big part of construction management as well. The schedule tool in Procore is not sufficient for my company's needs, so a second software program needs to be used. It would be great if Procore was a one-stop shop.
This tool is best for large scale projects and allows for a lot of flexibility. Each user can use the tools in whatever way suits them. If it could have some sort of integration with Primavera P6, that would be the missing key -- the schedule tool is not quite helpful for large projects, and P6 is more commonly used for scheduling in the construction industry.
