Procore is a strong choice for project coordination and compliance. SimplySub is focused on daily concrete execution, job-based timecards, logs, photos, and materials per job.

Why concrete contractors look for a Procore alternative

Coordination tools are important, but they do not solve daily jobsite capture. Concrete crews still need job-based timecards, clean daily logs, pour photos, and material tracking tied to the job. That is why many contractors keep a coordination platform for GC workflows, and add a jobsite-first system like SimplySub for daily execution.

Time still needs a clean home

Coordination does not replace job-based timecards. Concrete teams still need clean hours per job to keep payroll and job costing inputs accurate.

Daily logs protect the story of the pour

Weather, site access, inspections, schedule changes, and rework impact production. A simple daily log keeps the record straight for the office and the GC.

Materials decide your margin

Concrete loads, additives, rebar, forms, rentals, and hauling add up fast. If material usage is not logged per job, margin disappears quietly. SimplySub makes material logs part of the daily routine.
