Procore App Marketplace

In February 2016, Procore launched its equivalent of the App Store or Extension marketplace, called the Procore App Marketplace with 20 Procore apps. As they describe, “The App Marketplace is the online home for all third-party solutions and applications that integrate with the Procore platform. Companies of varying sizes and focus areas can easily locate the tools needed to make them more productive. The App Marketplace offers solutions for ERP and accounting, business intelligence, CRM, drone technology, and more.” Fast forward to today and Procore offers apps/extensions/integrations across 25 main categories.

In this article, we’ll be looking at how the App Marketplace works, answer your top questions about the marketplace and show why it is so beneficial for businesses, big and small.

What is a Procore App?

An App, or integration, is a software program or service built by Procore, a Procore client or by a third party, that integrates with Procore to extend the functionality of Procore. An example of a Procore app is the Procore to SharePoint app/integration that adds features to Procore’s standard product that aren’t currently offered. Using this example, after installing the app/integration, you’ll be able to access features like backups, file transfers and file syncing that weren’t possible without the app/integration.

Procore offers third-party integrations in 25 core categories.

How do I find out more about the Procore App Developer?

Many Procore Apps are built by external developers who have become certified Procore Partners. You can find out more about Procore App developers by clicking on their website links on individual listings (see this Procore to SharePoint integration listing as an example).

How many Procore apps can I install?

There are no limits to how many apps you can install on your account.

Do Procore apps cost money? Are Procore apps free?

If you look at Procore’s App Marketplace, you’ll see that there are some basic Procore apps that are offered for free. These often provide a single, basic utility for the user and don’t require a large number of resources to install, configure, maintain and support. For more advanced apps, there are substantial costs to build the app/integration, maintain it and provide call/email support to users around the clock. For these reasons, an app like this carries a monthly usage cost to offset the costs to build/maintain/support the app.
