Procore
Procore is a cloud-based construction management software application. The hub of construction intelligence connecting your team to the information they need.

In a world of ever-expanding construction projects and intricate blueprints, Aconex and Procore emerge from the digital ether like two remarkably similar creatures. Both cloud-based, they dance the same waltz of document management and project collaboration, ensuring that contractors, engineers and project managers can all agree on the size of the holes they’re digging. Both can track budgets, schedules, and, for all intents and purposes, make sure that everything, including the coffee machine, is running on time.

But, ah, the devil is in the details. Aconex, that gallant Aussie-born beast, has been around since 2000, targeting the grandest of projects—think skyscrapers, tunnels and those bridges that make you feel like a speck of dust. It’s not just about managing documents; it’s about orchestrating entire global teams and when Oracle came along in 2017, they decided to hitch their wagon to the Oracle cloud. Aconex isn't just a software; it’s a space station for your construction data.

Procore, meanwhile, arrived three years after Aconex, in 2003, on the other side of the world, in the land of the free and the home of the low-cost construction project. Its charm lies in simplicity and approachability, ideal for smaller projects where everyone knows each other’s first name and probably their dog’s name too. Financial management is Procore's sweet spot, making sure every dollar and cent is accounted for with the precision of a well-timed sneeze. It’s also particularly fond of being mobile-friendly, letting your team manage from anywhere—perhaps even from the comfort of a particularly cozy construction hat.
