SEATTLE — Dexter + Chaney, a provider of cloud-based construction enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, has announced a technology partnership with Procore Technologies Inc., a provider of cloud-based construction project management software, to offer integrated project management and accounting.

Procore’s cloud-based construction project management platform helps construction firms increase their project efficiency and accountability by providing streamlined project communication and documentation. Designed to be an easy-to-use solution, Procore automates project management tasks and creates a central hub for real-time project information. Dexter + Chaney’s Spectrum solution is a web-based ERP suite of applications for complete construction accounting, as well as equipment, service, and project management.

By creating a seamless, bidirectional integration between the two systems, clients can realize the full potential of a complete construction management solution.

“Both Procore and Dexter + Chaney have been on the leading edge of technology in recent years and as a result, both companies have experienced very strong growth,” said Scott Rosenbloom, Dexter + Chaney vice president of strategy. “Both companies have recognized that the industry is moving toward cloud-based solutions and in looking at our development paths, it was a natural fit for integration. Together, we amplify each other’s strengths.”

“At Procore we’ve built the best-in-class construction project management platform. Many of our customers have applications that are ‘must haves’ for their business to run efficiently,” said Steve Zahm, president, Procore Technologies. “Through Procore Connect and our strategic partnerships with leading software providers like Dexter + Chaney, we’re able to extend the value of our platform. Procore Connect makes it easy to integrate with the apps, solutions, and processes that our clients want to use.”

With this integration, project managers and construction operations professionals can complete work in Procore by collaborating on projects and using various interactive documents, including submittals, RFIs, contracts, schedules, and drawings. Procore’s unlimited user access plan allows everyone on the project team — from architects to subcontractors — to access and collaborate on the same project data from any location. As work is completed, the integration with Dexter + Chaney allows data to be entered into Spectrum for real-time job costing and complete financial reporting.

“We see this technology integration as a win-win for both Procore and Dexter + Chaney, but also for the industry as a whole,” said Norbert Orth, Dexter + Chaney president. “Not only will this be a significant time saver for both the field and office teams, it will increase accuracy and result in smoother, more profitable construction projects.”

The partnership will also provide both companies with more options for clients and prospective clients who are looking for complete construction management software solutions.
