How Is GCPay Better Than Procore?
Learn why hundreds of general contractors choose GCPay to manage subcontractor payment applications.
Simplify Subcontractor Payments: GCPay Vs. Procore
We all know how important effective subcontractor management is to project success. Built for General Contractors, GCPay is an all-in-one solution that simplifies and streamlines your entire payment application process. But we’re not the only game in town. Procore is another popular payment solution that simplifies subcontractor payments. Let’s explore both options, highlighting which solution offers the most value.ERP Integration
GCPay Offers Superior Integration
While Procore integrates with leading ERPs, its pay app management tools are scattered across different modules. This fragmented approach leads to:
- Critical project data being spread across multiple modules
- Complicated workflows, with pay app management being divided across finance, invoicing, and pay management modules
GCPay integrates directly with leading ERP systems, so you don’t need additional software. GCPay’s superior integration enables you to:
- Manage all subcontractor payments from the same place
- Eliminate data silos by creating a single source of truth for contract and job data
- Effortlessly track AFPs, waivers, and outstanding tasks
Setup & Support
Simpler Setup and Excellent Technical Support
Ease of setup and reliable technical support ensure smooth onboarding and faster return on investment.
Procore offers a robust platform with numerous features, but this complexity makes the initial setup and learning curve more challenging.
- As you rely on three separate modules, it can be tricky configuring and customizing Procore to meet your needs
- With limited hands-on assistance, users must rely on self-help resources and community forums
Ease of use is a key reason GCPay beats Procore on all G2 ratings. GCPay users benefit from:
- Simpler setup, allowing you to get started with minimal hassle
- Intuitive design that reduces the learning curve
- Renowned technical support readily available to assist with setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing questions
Workflows & Automation
GCPay Streamlines the Payment Cycle
Automating workflows reduces manual tasks and drives efficiency.
Procore offers tools to automate payment applications, including a checklist feature that ensures all documents are verified before payments are made. However:
- Automation tools are spread across multiple modules, making it less efficient to set up and manage
GCPay offers a similar toolset, specializing in automating subcontractor payment applications to reduce manual data entry and speed up the payment cycle. Our automation enables you to:
- Guarantee accurate billings, as subcontractors cannot bill without approval
- Build customizable and automated workflows tailored to your company’s processes
Lien Waiver and Notarization
Simplified Lien Waiver Management
Efficient lien waiver management is key to maintaining compliance and streamlining payment processes.
Procore doesn’t have native lien waiver management features. Instead, it relies on Levelset to manage waivers and automate key processes. Unfortunately:
- Users must work between at least two modules to handle change orders and release lien waivers
- Procore lacks notarization features, crucial for certain projects and states
- Digital signature functionality is fragmented and requires DocuSign integration
- Procore’s integration with Levelset isn’t always seamless, leading to frustrating a user experience
GCPay offers the same toolkit, with features that further simplify and streamline lien waiver management:
- Integrated eSignature and digital notarization features
- You can create, send, and track lien waivers, including compliance, from one system
Secure Electronic Payments
Faster and Easier ePayments with GCPay
Efficient electronic payment management saves time and reduces errors.
Procore Pay offers a range of features to manage payments, including automating lien waiver releases. Despite their rich feature set:
- Managing payments often involves multiple manual steps
- Setting up disbursements and tracking compliance documents can be time-consuming
- Likelihood of human error is increased due to process complexity
GCPay’s ePayment tools enable fast, accurate, and secure ACH payments. With GCPay, you can:
- Save time by securing subcontractor banking details in the system
- Ensure all compliance documents and lien waivers are collected and verified before processing payments
- Reduce human error with automated and integrated payment features
