What Makes Sitetracker the Better Choice?
Get the results you want with the features you need. Sitetracker’s data makes growth manageable for critical infrastructure companies:
Procore and Primavera: Traditional Construction Solutions
Enterprise-level project and portfolio management, cloud-based functionality for construction businesses, and the ability to centralize field operations across stakeholders like vendors, general contractors, and material suppliers—both Procore and Primavera promise to power multi-stakeholder and cross-team projects.
But how well do these features adapt to the infrastructure deployment environment?
Procore’s construction management simplifies task tracking, deadline management, and team collaboration for successful construction and land development outcomes. Its functionality supports the construction phase, project execution, workforce management, and financial reporting and analytics.
Those looking for a different construction system might also consider Oracle Primavera’s P6 project scheduling tool. Designed with features like scheduling, risk analysis, and collaboration capabilities, Primavera is often valued for its ability to support large-scale, complex, single-site projects.
Sitetracker: Tailored for Critical Infrastructure Deployment
But neither IT nor boutique construction firms can keep pace with the complex, mission-critical, and often fast-paced needs of critical infrastructure deployments.
For this, Sitetracker stands apart from either of these platforms, offering field operators, site managers, and engineering ops teams the unparalleled ability to manage distributed, critical infrastructure projects and assets.
As a global leader in cloud-based software designed specifically for the needs of complete asset lifecycle management, Sitetracker has transformed the financials, processes, and outcomes of companies in highly niched sectors such as critical digital infrastructure, energy, media, and utilities.
Choosing the Right Platform is Important
Procore and Primavera offer a range of features for project management, but they’re optimized for different use cases:
Procore is great for:
- Construction companies managing single, complex building projects
- Teams that need robust document management and collaboration tools for construction sites
- Organizations looking for comprehensive construction-specific financial tracking and reporting
Primavera excels at:
- Managing large-scale, complex projects in industries like engineering and manufacturing
- Detailed scheduling and resource allocation for projects with multi-year long lifecycles
- Portfolio management for organizations juggling multiple, long lifecycle projects simultaneously
But, as the complexity of infrastructure deployment increases, traditional project management and construction-focused tools may become less effective.
Sitetracker is specifically designed for sectors like:
- Digital Infrastructure: data centers, 5G rollouts, fiber construction, tower operations
- Energy: EV charging networks, solar, storage and wind farm deployments and maintenance
- Utilities: Grid resiliency, Private LTE, renewable energy projects
Sitetracker’s built-in best practices, workflows, and templates for deployment and infrastructure projects reduce implementation time and increase ROI.
Across the globe, Sitetracker powers over $150 billion worth of projects and assets. Integrate project management, asset management, and field operations into a powerful, out-of-the-box solution developed just for teams like yours.
The Sitetracker Difference
Sitetracker stands out in the asset lifecycle management space with several key advantages:
Comprehensive Project Lifecycle Management
Sitetracker offers end-to-end project management capabilities tailored for infrastructure projects, from initial planning and budgeting to execution, tracking, and reporting. While Procore provides robust construction management features and Primavera offers detailed scheduling, they can lack the industry-specific depth that Sitetracker offers for infrastructure deployments.
Out-of-the-Box Industry-Specific Functionality
Procore and Primavera may require extensive customization for infrastructure-specific use, while Sitetracker comes pre-configured with the features and workflows needed for digital infrastructure, utilities, and energy industries, allowing for rapid deployment and immediate value.
Powerful Analytics and Reporting
Sitetracker provides real-time analytics and customizable dashboards specifically designed for infrastructure projects, allowing you to gain actionable insights into your projects’ performance. While Procore and Primavera offer reporting capabilities, they may lack the industry-specific metrics and KPIs that Sitetracker provides out-of-the-box for infrastructure deployments.
Scalability and Future-Proofing
Built on the Salesforce platform, Sitetracker offers enterprise-grade security, scalability, and extensibility specifically designed for infrastructure projects. As your business grows and evolves, Sitetracker grows with you, providing a long-term solution for your deployment needs.
