Unify Labor, Equipment, and Materials Management

Article content provided by Procore.

In the mechanical and sheet metal trades, how you manage your resources - labor, equipment, and materials - play a vital role in determining your project costs, and ultimately your profit. Procore Resource Management brings all three together on a single, connected platform so you can manage them in real time instead of piecing together spreadsheets and point solutions after the fact.

Plan Resources Before Problems Start

Procore Resource Planning gives you a centralized view of labor availability, skills, and equipment across all your projects. Identify gaps and conflicts before they hit the field, so you can match crews and equipment without the scramble. 

Track Labor and Production in Real Time

With Procore Resource Tracking, foremen enter crew hours and production data in seconds using a familiar spreadsheet-style interface. Data flows directly to your budget, giving your office team clear visibility into costs and production rates so you can course correct in time to help keep profits intact.

Turn Your Fleet Into a Strategic Asset

Plan owned and rented equipment alongside your crews so every machine goes where it’s needed when it’s needed. Telematics integration connects real-time location, usage, and operational status directly to project financials, helping prevent equipment downtime from becoming project downtime.

Control Materials from Purchase to Installation

Procore Materials delivers end-to-end visibility over your inventory. Field teams capture deliveries, quantities, and defects on mobile the moment they happen, and your office sees inventory status immediately. With materials accounting for roughly 40% of a project budget, real-time inventory control isn't overhead, it's direct margin protection.

When your labor, equipment, and materials data live in one place, you can stop finding out about problems after they've already hit your budget and start delivering projects the way you planned them.
