Xero has partnered with Procore Technologies to provide a new integrated cloud construction management app using Procore’s financial management solution and Xero’s cloud-based accounting platform
The construction industry accounts for 13% of global GDP, but productivity has grown by just 1% annually over the past 20 years and digitalization is lower than in nearly any other industry.
This new cloud construction management app will help solve some of the biggest challenges small and medium construction firms face by enabling them, and their advisors, to connect field and back office teams with real-time, accurate, financial data in the cloud. This in turn supports the delivery of multiple complex projects on time, and on budget.
Improve communication and workflows in construction
Kris Lengieza, global vice president of partnerships and alliances, Procore, said: “Procore is excited to partner with Xero, one of the world’s leading small business accounting platforms.
“Together we are bringing an integration to market that helps accountants, bookkeepers and business operators working in construction improve communication and workflows with their cohorts in the field.
“With our integration, Xero and Procore customers can rally around a single source of truth when it comes to financial data, which ultimately empowers teams to make more informed decisions.”
Digitalization and cloud tools will transform construction
Chris O’Neill, chief growth officer at Xero, said: “Digitalization and the adoption of cloud tools has the potential to transform the construction industry and make a real impact to the efficiency of individual firms.
“By partnering with Procore on this app integration, we’re enabling construction project leads to make better informed, data-driven decisions, so they can help tune their operational efficiency, mitigate project risks, and better scale their business.”
The app is available on the Xero App Store in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
