Still using Procore project financials for budget management?
There can be an easier way.

Procore financials might not be the best tool for SMEs according to Procore user reviews
- The pricing is inflexible and can be difficult for companies with high revenues and low margins;
- Onboarding and implementation can be complicated and a long process;
- Need for user accounts and training for suppliers may push them away from using the tools;
- Accounting integrations are provided by third parties and might not fulfill all needs;

What is Procore?
Procore is a US construction project management software with many different modules.
The software covers preconstruction, project management, resources management, and financial management.
A Bit More Context
Procore has been building out its software since 2003. This makes it a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, it’s very comprehensive. It covers a lot of different functions through different models. Which means you can unify processes more.
On the other hand, companies tend to move upmarket as they mature. Their solutions get way more complex and the pricing goes higher and higher. Procore is like Salesforce in that sense – it’s used by the biggest companies in the world but they are all paying through their nose.
Because Procore is a software in development for almost 20 years, it means it probably contains a lot of legacy technology. Things that were built 10 years ago look outdated now in software.
Mis on Planyard?

Halda eelarvet ilma Exceli ning lõputute emaili-ahelateta. Lase alltöövõtjatel andmesisestus teha.
Procore project financials vs Planyard construction financials software functionality
Different review sites bring out that the onboarding process for Procore is complicated and costly. If you want to use the financials module in Procore, you would have to sign up for multiple different module packages, where there will probably be a lot of functionality that you might not necessarily need.
Since Procore financials is mainly an enterprise solution, it needs a lot of training and configuration to set everything up. In the case that you are a smaller company with a small or no IT team, the setup might not be very straightforward and can be time-consuming. If you want to test with a pilot project to see whether your processes match the software. Then it might not be so easy to do so due to the fixed processes on setting up your account.
If you want to try and digitalize your processes by one small step at a time, then the processes if Procore might not be most suitable for you. It can be a lower effort to test an easier setup platform like Planyard to see if this is something that could even be suitable for your company and employees.
The good thing is that Procore has a vast marketplace where there are a lot of different tools that can be integrated with if you need a specific part of your process fixed or automated.

“Tahtsin Exceli tabelitest põgeneda, käsitsi andmete sisestamise lõpetada ja otsisin võimalusi eelarve numbritel silma peal hoidmiseks. Arendusettevõttes on keeruline oma numbreid alati kontrolli all hoida.
Sattusin Planyardi otsa kui otsisin tööriista, et eelarve haldamise protsesse parandada ja enda elu lihtsamaks muuta.
Planyard teeb seda ja see võtab teie projekti eelarve ja paneb selle teie jaoks väga selgelt ekraanile, nii et teil on reaalajas pilt sellest, kus teie projekti eelarve mingil hetkel asub. “

“Olen töötanud pilvepõhiste raamatupidamistööriistade nagu Xero ja Quickbooks’iga, mis on suurepärased, kuid neil pole konkreetset ehituse jaoks mõeldud kuluarvestustööriista.
Ehitusettevõttetel on meeskonnas kallid projektijuhtid, kes teevad palju käsitööd, nt. Excelis, mis ei lase neil keskenduda lisandväärtusega seotud tegevustele ja kasumi kasvule.
Planyardi nähes tundsin kergendust, et sellele probleemile on lõpuks lahendus. Hinnapakkumised, alltöövõtuaktid, ostutellimused, arved jne. pannakse süsteemi ja see on otseselt seotud eelarve, lepingute, alltöövõtjate ja tarnijatega. See muudab inimeste elu palju lihtsamaks. Andmed on käepärast, need on automatiseeritud ja see tähendab, et ei ole vaja enam selliseid tarkvarasid nagu Excel.”

„Ütleksin, et Planyard on suurepärane võimalus oma töökulusid ühes kohas lihtsalt ja mugavalt jälgida. See jälgib kõiki dokumente ja numbreid ühes kohas.
Kui eelarvega on probleeme, siis see lihtsalt ütleb teile, mida peate parandama ja kõik saab korda. See lihtsalt mõtleb teie eest paar sammu ette.”

“Säästame iga kuu iga projektijuhi kohta neli tööpäeva. Kõige suurem efektiivsuse kasv tuli sellest, et andmete mitmekordne sisestamine jäi ära.”

“Me tahtsime teada juba enne projektide lõppu, kas teenime oma projektiga kasumit või mitte. Planyard’i abil oleme selle saavutanud. Me näeme reaalajas, millised tööd on kasumlikud ja millised mitte. See lubab meil teha jooksvalt vajalikud muudatused.”
