Abstract

The construction industry faces difficulties in managing the enormous amounts of data generated at each stage of a project, impacting project coordination and decision-making. Currently the industry is facing the issue of a lack of interoperability among the multiple software programs being used for different functions. To address this lack of interoperability, there is a need for an integrated environment that allows seamless flow of data between different functions. Among the few software tools that have emerged in recent year, Procore, a cloud-based construction project management software, has emerged as a widely used solution in the industry, enabling collaboration among all stakeholders involved in a construction project. This paper aims to investigate various comprehensive project management software, with emphasis on Procore, and evaluate its ability to provide a platform to integrate various construction functions. It demonstrates how to integrate Procore with other construction management software to create a unified platform for all construction management needs. Finally, it discusses the limitations of the present state of integration and provides recommendations for fully integrated software solutions.
