Keeping Office and Field on the Same Plan
On multi-million-dollar projects, keeping the schedule accurate and aligned across the office and field was a constant challenge. As a lifelong MS Project user, Bob's team was working with tools that made updates slow and risked misalignment between systems. Pentex's leadership decided it was time to modernize their scheduling approach.
A Modern Platform With Procore Built In
Moving away from MS Project, Bob immediately noticed how much easier it was to update the schedule and have those changes reflected across the project team.
- Effortless updates: Changes to the current schedule reflect across the whole project team, replacing the slower MS Project workflow.
- Procore integration: The integration made coordination smoother, eliminating duplicate data entry and reducing the risk of misalignment between systems.
- Real-time field updates: Updates pushed directly to the field helped the team address issues as they arose instead of days later.
"Being a lifelong user of MS Project, I've noticed major features that Outbuild offers that we only wished we had before. The support through the academy has been fantastic, including the ease of integration with Procore."
Fuller Engagement, Smoother Workflow
Real-time visibility reduced unnecessary rework and kept activities on track, while weekly support sessions kept the team confident.
- Less rework: Real-time field updates reduced unnecessary rework and helped keep activities on track.
- Stronger support: Weekly team-building meetings gave staff space to work through real project scenarios and resolve challenges quickly.
- Better coordination: Outbuild helped Pentex engage subcontractors more fully and improve overall workflow coordination on complex projects.
