Procore Pros and Cons

My company uses Procore to keep track of job progress. At the professional level we upload our drawings and submittals. We give all of our mechanical insulation installers tablets to use in the field so they can mark their day-to-day progress. For example, on a drawing with heat pipe they can scribble a line over the piping that is insulated.

If they have questions about certain areas, they take a picture and upload a photo and put the "ball in court" for one of our project managers to take a look at and get then an answer.

We have not integrated other third-party software with our Procore. We are looking forward to a collaboration with 'Sage 100 Contractor' that we have been told is in the works. We have, however, been working with other companies who use Procore, and it makes document sharing a breeze.

We only have a couple jobs where we ask our installers to perform daily logs. It's a little more complex than pen-and-paper style, and a lot of our installers are older so it makes things difficult in that regard. Practice makes perfect.

Some of the installers like Procore because they have access to the information, but in some regard it is a pain for them. Many of our installers/techs are not technology-motivated so Procore can annoy them.
