Overall Satisfaction with Procore

As of now Procore is the backbone of our firm. We use it for all aspects of construction. Starting with generating bid invitations and scopes. We then use a hybrid to receive bids due to our sub contractor base being technologically diverse. Once a project is awarded to us we then move to the Project management tools. In the filed we use daily log, RFI's, Observations, Safety checklists, picture albums and submittals. In the office all the submittals and reviews are pushed through Procore to ensure proper work flow and keep the project moving. We wrap up the project with the Punch list tool and the office closes the rest.

We have been reluctant to integrate our accounting software due to the additional cost for Procore and familiarity with it based upon our years of experience with the accounting system. We have not integrated any other real software other than Microsoft Office to Procore.
We have been relatively unsuccessful attracting employees simply through Procore. Most field employees have familiarity and love it. The office employees have taken a bit longer and we have diligently tried to make Procore certifications a job prerequisite to no avail thus far. I don't see Procore as anything but a net neutral for this.
Procore has a few upgraded bells and whistles but essentially it is the same type of Construction management software and functions similarly. The ability to integrate with our current accounting system is very attractive to us as well. We originally chose Procore because they were the best there was at the time and appeared to be heading toward marketplace dominance. At the end of the day the astronomical cost savings from leaving Procore can not be ignored.

Do you think Procore delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Procore's feature set?

Yes

Did Procore live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Procore go as expected?

No

Would you buy Procore again?

No

Procore is a great piece of software for managing a construction project overall. It works great for the field but in our experience the office side is a bit cumbersome and confusing at times. It would be better to not update the modules without some advance notice and included technical support.
