How ProjectPro Has Helped Customers Have An Extra Edge During COVID-19
Extended Customer Support On ProjectPro During The Crisis
The spread of COVID-19 has turned to be a major setback for the construction industry. Especially when it comes to increased project spans, labor shortage, and massive cost overruns, the contractors have gone through major transitions, temporary deferments, or complete suspensions.
This has prompted the construction companies to evaluate and define their needs as the situation has worsened with the spread of the pandemic. With current circumstances, construction companies are either struggling to return to the site, while those who have returned or never moved from site struggle to keep up with the safety guidelines.
Meanwhile, contractors and project managers have a growing need for construction management software to keep up with tasks that require extensive documenting. The unsettling loss to construction projects demand technology that can improve the process to retain workflow while securing profits.

Here we have a few quick examples of how ProjectPro has helped their customers navigate through the pandemic while taking a competitive advantage over others.
