Review Summary

Procore's excellent, simple interface makes training non-existent and implementation rapid. Compared to other products, which have a several month training/setup period, Procore's ease of use allowed our office to immediately begin using it.

All our Bid Files are in a central location with access control. We are not stumbling through FTP sites and e-mail, as we had previously been doing.

Several jobs have saved numerous hours of FTP programming/management and numerous e-mailing correspondence through the use of Procore's file management and communication tabs.

Can you estimate how much time or money you saved or other measurable benefits your firm realized using this tool?:

Our corporate administration has taken approximately one hour to be at a level where they could begin to use Procore. More training is expected in the future, but nothing like with competitor's products, which often take months of training and setup prior to truly utilizing them.
