Procore ERP Connector Platform provides real-time insight for Construction Projects
Procore Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of construction management software, today announced the availability of its global ERP Connector platform, along with four new Procore-built accounting integrations.
Now companies can obtain real-time insight into the financial health of their construction projects through centralized, accurate data that connects all of their stakeholders. They can easily connect their enterprise resource planning system of choice to Procore Financial Management, a project cost management solution.
According to the 2020 Construction Technology Report, over 50% of companies are still relying on spreadsheets to manage ERP workflows. This can lead to double-data entry, costly mistakes, and can create a delay in delivering data back to the accounting team––potentially impacting subcontractors’ payment, account reconciliation, and change order processing because decisions are being made based on incomplete data sets.
“People often think of project execution as being separate from project accounting, when they are really two sides of the same coin. When gaps exist between accounting and operations systems, teams must not only spend extra time entering and reconciling information––they are also forced to make decisions without the information they need,” said Tooey Courtemanche, Procore founder and CEO. “This can create blind spots in the financial health of a project and lead to risks. Procore marries these two historically disjointed sets of information into a seamless collaborative solution. With the new Procore ERP Connector platform, our customers can connect to any accounting system and have real-time access to their project financial data across the project lifecycle.”
Customers wanting to use an integration sold directly by Procore now have a choice of nine connectors to choose from. These include four new connectors for Sage, MRI, Acumatica, and Yardi, as well as five previously built connectors for Sage 300 CRE, Sage 100 Contractor, Quickbooks Desktop, Viewpoint Vista, and Viewpoint Spectrum.
Both customer developers and third-party app developers can use the Procore ERP Connector platform to build integrations that leverage the same functionality that Procore-built accounting integrations deliver, so their field and office teams can collaborate in real time.
“I can’t emphasize enough the value of the integrations,” said Al Nover, Facilities Finance and Contracts Manager at Boston Children’s Hospital. “They allow the PMs to have all the info they need in their own solution, but also give us confidence that we’re synced with the hospital’s corporate ERP and capital planning systems. There’s no manual entry, it’s synced with the general ledger, and it’s accurate.”
“We love working with Procore,” said Robert Leighton, Executive Vice President at Calance, a Procore App Marketplace developer. “Their APIs are solid, reliable, and extensive, and the API support team at Procore is great to work with. Procore has enabled us to create new capabilities and features for our mutual customers.”
