Overall Satisfaction with Procore
Procore is allowing my company to manage multiple projects across the State of Alaska, most of which you can not drive to or even get to in a day. We've had contractors working in multiple locations for years and all of us are able to maintain the most current documents and stay up to date on the daily operations. This connectivity is maximizing project communication and reducing costs from needing to travel.
- Drawing updating and posting.
- Financial planning.
- Communication.
- Capital Planning: need a cash flow module to show how each cost line item will be spent so you can forecast your pay apps and owners can prep for future payments.
- More customization dashboards on startup. For multiple projects, unless you are a GC, these are not helpful.
I have used PMWEB, PROLOG, and Oracle, but Procore is by far the most user-friendly and captures more features for a reasonable cost. All of the rest have the power to do more, but cost exponentially more and don't offer the user-friendly interface that Procore does.
We are able to coordinate a team in five separate towns almost immediately.
- We have gone from one to two projects a year to ten and are able to manage effectively.
- Gain visibility into projects
- Ensure information is accessible and up to date
- Document job site conditions
- Report on incidents and inspections
- Identify job site risks
- Track cost impacts from the field
- Streamline financial reporting
- Improve forecast accuracy
- Simplify employee time tracking
Once the entire package of applications is utilized the streamlining of data is remarkable. From tracking an RFI or Change through the Change order and closeout process to just making sure the right sheets are being used day to day.
