Overall Satisfaction with Procore

We are a roofing subcontractor and we use Procore for our prime business filing and management system. The photo and drawing functions are great and document uploads and storage are great also. Very easy to navigate and use overall. It allows great interaction between field and office staff, but many outside organizations are reluctant to interact business to business.
  • Great photo uploading and storage and access.
  • Great correspondence features between all staff.
  • Linked drawings are a big advantage.
  • Our being a subcontractor and not a general contractor makes the system difficult to adapt to for our uses.
  • Project financials and the interaction between Procore and Sage Estimating has been extremely cumbersome and non-user-friendly.
  • Program was sold to us as being useful for subcontractors as well as general contractors, this is definitely not the case.
  • Want to see modules and systems designed specifically for subcontractors, using the correct terminology.
  • At this point, learning to use as a subcontractor has not reaped any financial or time saving benefits.
Would like to see modules designed for specific subcontract trades; i.e. roofing, plumbing, electrical, etc.
Procore was designed for and intended for general contractors and construction managers. Not very user-friendly for trade subs.
We used to use Dataforma, which is roofing specific and had many great features designed for our trade, but it did lack some of the nicer Procore features. Also, the limits on the number of active projects was a disappointing discovery; as a subcontractor, we manage many projects at once.

Integrating Procore

It's been very difficult to sync with Sage.
