The Procore Search Audit
A 1-page checklist of the 47 searches your project management team is performing in Procore every week — with median lookup-time per search, sorted by frequency. Used by ops leaders to scope retrieval-tax savings before bringing a tool like Forward in.
What’s inside
- The 47 searches — the most common information requests we’ve heard across 40+ PM interviews, categorized: RFI / Submittal / Drawing / Daily log / Spec / Cost / Schedule / Safety / Sub-contact / Punch-list / Closeout.
- Median lookup time per search — how long each one takes when performed in Procore’s web UI by a production-rate user (not a power user, not a brand-new user).
- The weekly retrieval-tax math — a 3-line formula to estimate your team’s annual hours burned on Procore lookups, broken down by role (PM / superintendent / project engineer).
- The “text-it” comparison column — for each search, the median time when the same query is handled by SMS-to-AI (Forward’s pattern). Most fall from 45-180 seconds in the UI to 8-15 seconds by text.
Who this is for
- VPs of Operations at mid-size commercial GCs (50-500 employees).
- Procore power-user PMs trying to quantify field frustration to leadership.
- Anyone scoping a 2026 field-tech budget with retrieval-tax as the line item.
Format
1-page printable PDF (US Letter, US Legal, A4). Sourced from public-good interviews + Procore-published navigation timing data + Forward’s own retrieval-time benchmark suite. No paywall, no sales call, no obligation. Email gate exists only so we can send a one-time follow-up note answering common questions about the audit.
Why we’re giving this away
Forward’s pitch is that retrieval-tax in Procore is a measurable, recurring loss for every GC, and that texting the query is the lowest-friction way to collapse it. The audit gives you the math to validate (or invalidate) that pitch on your own team before you ever talk to us.
