Review Summary

"Great job, Procore. This software is very helpful in our day-to-day job," said James McNeal of Bender Chaffey. "Tasks that took many tools we can now do with one." McNeal and his colleagues had previously been using Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, Access, Project, as well as an outside source for moving files and the occasional pen and paper for calculationd. They still use these programs, but Procore makes it much easier to transfer and share the information, McNeal said: "All the information is in one place. You have multiple tabs relating to each other. You have the capability to transfer large files at one time."

Overall, McNeal rated Procore software a 9.9 out of 10. He concluded: "Thanks, and we look forward to the future enhancements."
