Procore and StructShare integration improves productivity and ROI for trade contractors
StructShare's purchasing and material management app for trade contractors and self-performing general contractors is seamless for Procore users.
Procore recently announced its integration to StructShare, the leading provider of purchasing and material management software, to enhance ROI and productivity for specialty trades and self-performing general contractors.
At the core of the trade construction business, procurement and materials management play a crucial role in completing projects on time, on budget, and within compliance. The current manual practices are ripe with errors while missing data critical for accurate project management.
Streamline purchasing and materials management with StructShare’s new integration with Procore.
StructShare replaces error-prone, email-based purchasing workflows with a cloud solution designed specifically for specialty contractors and self-performing general contractors. StructShare streamlines the entire purchasing cycle from field request, PO, through deliveries and invoices while providing real-time data of budget, inventory, and costs. The integration with Procore allows Procore users to enjoy a one-click set up of the StructShare app, syncing projects, users, vendors, and cost codes.
With StructShare’s mobile application, the field team can send digital orders for materials to vendors and purchasing departments then easily track delivery issues, status, and defects. Meanwhile, invoices, POs, and budgets are automatically updated and matched in Procore Financials by StructShare–giving project construction managers extraordinary visibility into their materials plan.
Full automated purchasing workflow.
After introducing a 1-click StructShare onboarding earlier this year, the two companies are launching a fully automated purchasing workflow to allow Procore users to auto-sync POs and invoices --removing 100% manual entry, preventing errors, and providing full drill-down to line-item costs and insights, as well as material issues, and inventory.
"We're addressing one of the biggest issues impacting specialty trade contractors and self-performing GC's – manual purchasing and material management. The digital synergy with Procore's solution is perfect."
Or Lakritz, Founder and Chief Product Officer at StructShare.
