Procore is a strong choice for structured project controls and coordination. SimplySub is focused on daily landscaping execution, job-based timecards, logs, photos, equipment, and materials per job.
GC coordination tools matter on large jobs, but they do not solve daily jobsite capture for landscaping crews. Teams still need job-based timecards, clean daily logs, site photos, equipment run time, and material tracking tied to the job. That is why many contractors operate inside a GC system when required, and add a jobsite-first system like SimplySub for daily execution.
Project coordination does not replace job-based timecards. Landscaping teams still need clean hours per job to keep payroll and job costing inputs accurate.
Weather, access issues, change requests, and rework impact production. A simple daily log keeps the record straight for the office, the GC, and the owner.
Mulch, sod, stone, plants, 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.
