Your Certified Procore Experts


Are you a Procore user that feels like you’re not getting full value for your investment?

Wish your team was using more of Procore’s features, but they don’t know how?

Thinking about connecting it to your accounting system, but not sure how that will work?

Want to use newer tools, such as Estimating & Action Plans, but struggling to get them up and running?

Expand Your Team's Use

Issue

Your company may have an active Procore account, but your team is only using some of the basic tools. You’d like to expand your team’s use of Procore’s tools for Project and Site management but lack the time or expertise to train them properly.

Solution

Ascent’s Procore Consultants work with your Project Management , Accounting, and Field teams to define and standardize your company’s processes and procedures that may be performed using Procore tools, then train them how to use them effectively.

Issue

You want your teams to manage project financials in Procore, including job costing and invoicing, but haven’t turned on the Financials tools, or the Accounting team may feel unsure about connecting Procore to the accounting system.

Solution

Ascent’s Procore Consultants ensure a correct ERP integration to avoid possible errors when syncing your accounting software with your system. We take all necessary measures to verify your system setup is correctly for successful synchronization. Then we train your team on proper use of the Financial tools.

Issue

With projects constantly under construction, the Construction team rarely has the time to attend general training sessions or take Procore’s online certification programs to learn how to effectively use Procore.

Solution

Enhance the proficiency of your team and individuals with the necessary tools by providing focused Procore training sessions, either in-person or online, specific to your company and project needs. This promotes consistent and correct usage across the organization.
