Overall Satisfaction with Procore
We are using Procore as our main communication tool between the office and the field for all of our construction projects. We are using it for drawings, submittals, RFI's, Daily Logs, T&M Tickets, Timecards, etc.
We have always struggled with getting the project information into the hands of our foreman because the information is constantly changing. Procore has enabled us to provide this information instantly and efficiently. The field can now enter their time and we can upload it right into Sage 300 so this too has saved the office a great deal of time from manually entering everything.

- Timecards: A MUST if you are currently manually entering time into a software program that integrates with Procore. The field can enter all of their time, and their crew's time, and then a file is created that gets uploaded into your accounting software (ours in Sage 300).
- Daily Logs: The field can fill out a daily log that gets distributed to the PMs and Superintendents so they can monitor what is going on with their projects. This helps them see where the project is at as well as any issues that may arise.
- Drawings: Drawings are a must. We have multiple revisions as the project goes on and the field folks are able to see each and every one of them if they need to or just see the most current revision of each as a complete drawing set.
- The highest on our list of wants/needs would be to integrate Procore with the GCs and specialty systems. There is currently a lot of double work that tends to happen because these two systems do not talk.
- T&M Tickets: Many times a T&M ticket will span more than one day. Right now, the tool is set up for only a one-day job. It would be really nice if we could track time and materials for multiple days on one ticket.
- We have definitely increased efficiency with both our field and payroll areas due to Procore.
Sage 300: Right now, this is the only software we are integrating and it has saved us hours of payroll manual entry.
We used to have the field folks write their daily work in a logbook that we would collect at the end of the year. This was pretty much a useless tool unless an issue arose that we had to look back on. It did nothing for helping the office see what was happening on the job sites day-to-day. Now with Procore, we are able to see what is happening every day/ any day at the touch of a button.
We started with Plan Grid but quickly realized Procore was a notch above and the needed software for our firm.
