Integrations

Connect Procore, accounting, scheduling, and CRM so the numbers agree

Most contractors run project management, accounting, scheduling, and CRM in separate systems that share no common ID. We build the integrations between them: API extraction, a crosswalk that links jobs, vendors, and cost codes, validation before anything moves, and monitoring that says when a sync fails. Unmatched records stay visible on an exceptions list instead of disappearing.

The value it creates

  • Time saved

    Stop re-keying between systems

    Jobs, commitments, costs, and milestones move on a schedule instead of being copied by hand. We measure the hours spent on manual entry and reconciliation before and after.

  • Cost saved

    Fewer errors to chase

    Validation rules catch mismatched job numbers, missing cost codes, and duplicate vendors before they reach the ledger or the report, so less time goes into rework.

  • Better decisions

    One set of numbers

    When Procore, accounting, and the schedule are linked through one crosswalk, finance and operations discuss the job, not whose spreadsheet is right.

  • Early warning

    Failures surface, not hide

    Every run records what loaded, what was rejected, and why. A failed sync or a stale source is flagged before someone makes a decision on old data.

  • Standardization

    Master data that stays consistent

    A maintained crosswalk for projects, vendors, and cost codes means every downstream report and workflow uses the same mapping, every time.

  • Collective intelligence

    Field, finance, and sales on one record

    CRM pipeline, project management, and accounting connect to the same project identity, so each team sees the same job from its own system.

What we build

  • API extraction and sync

    Scheduled or event-driven pulls from Procore, Sage, QuickBooks Online, HubSpot, P6, and other systems, with paging, rate limits, and incremental loads handled.

  • Project, vendor, and cost-code crosswalks

    Mapping tables that link the same job, vendor, or cost code across systems that share no common ID, with documented match rules in order of trust.

  • Validation and exception handling

    Rules that check records before they move. Anything that fails is flagged with a reason and kept on an exceptions list, never silently dropped.

  • Run logging and monitoring

    Each run records row counts, rejects, and timing, with alerts when a source is stale or a sync fails, so the system finds problems before the report reader does.

  • Webhooks and event triggers

    Integrations that react when something changes, such as a deal marked won or a document uploaded, using n8n, Power Automate, Zapier, or custom services.

  • Data lake landing for reporting

    Raw extracts land in a Microsoft Fabric or Azure store with history kept, so reporting and AI tools read from one governed copy instead of hitting every API.

  • Secure credentials and access

    OAuth and service accounts with least-privilege scopes, secrets kept out of code, and access reviewed with your IT team.

How it works

Build the foundation for what comes next: a shared data foundation of connected sources, a crosswalk and quality checks supports reporting first, then automation, then AI.
  1. 1.Reporting

    Bring the information together and define what the numbers mean.

  2. 2.Automation

    Reduce repeatable handoffs, reminders, and data entry across your systems.

  3. 3.AI

    Help people investigate questions, prepare drafts, and use approved tools with clear access boundaries.

Shared data foundation

  • Connected sources
  • Crosswalk (project ↔ job ↔ deal)
  • Quality checks
  1. 1

    Inventory systems and identifiers

    We list each source, its API or export, who owns it, and which fields identify a job, vendor, and cost code in each one.

  2. 2

    Agree the crosswalk and match rules

    We define how records link across systems and which rule wins when they disagree, and we review sample matches with your team.

  3. 3

    Build extraction, validation, and loads

    Pipelines pull data, check it against the rules, load what passes, and route what fails to an exceptions list with the reason attached.

  4. 4

    Add monitoring and alerts

    Run logs, freshness checks, and failure alerts go in before go-live, so an expired token or a changed field shows up the same day.

  5. 5

    Hand over and document

    You get the mapping, the rules, the runbook, and the code, so your team can see exactly how a number got from source to destination.

How we measure the value

We agree a baseline before we build and measure the same things after go-live. Use the monthly report cost calculator to put your own numbers on it.

What we measureHow baseline and after are captured
Manual hours spent re-keying and reconciling between systemsWe time the current process with the people who do it for one full cycle, then record the same tasks after go-live.
Unmatched or rejected records per runThe exceptions list counts unmatched jobs, vendors, and cost codes from the first run, and we track that count as fixes are made at the source.
Data freshnessRun logs record when each source last loaded successfully, compared with how old the data was in the manual process.
Sync failures caught by monitoring versus found by usersWe log each failure and note whether an alert caught it or a report reader noticed it first.

Use cases

Frequently asked questions

Which construction systems have you integrated?

Our production builds connect Procore, Sage 100 Contractor, QuickBooks Online, HubSpot, Outbuild, and SharePoint through Microsoft Fabric. Reference builds and open-source work cover Primavera P6, Autodesk, HCSS, and Salesforce. For other systems, such as Viewpoint or Sage Intacct, we confirm what the API or export supports during discovery before we agree a scope.

What is a crosswalk and why does an integration need one?

A crosswalk is a mapping table that links the same project, vendor, or cost code across systems that use different identifiers. Procore, accounting, and CRM rarely share a common ID, so without a crosswalk records either fail to match or match wrongly. We document the match rules and keep unmatched records visible on an exceptions list.

What happens when a sync fails or a record is wrong?

Records that fail validation are flagged with a reason and kept, not dropped. Each run logs what loaded and what was rejected, and alerts fire when a source is stale or a run fails. Where possible we fix the problem in the source system so it does not recur.

Do you write data back into Procore or accounting, or only read from them?

Both are possible. Many projects start read-only into a reporting store, which carries the least risk. Write-back, such as creating a project from a won CRM deal, uses scoped permissions, validation before each write, and a log of every change, and we agree it explicitly with your team.

Should we use n8n, Power Automate, Zapier, or custom code?

It depends on volume, complexity, and what your IT team already supports. Low-code tools suit event-driven workflows and simple syncs; larger data loads and complex mapping usually belong in pipelines such as Microsoft Fabric. We recommend the option your team can maintain.

How is an integration project priced?

Integration work is fixed scope and price, agreed after discovery. The Integration Sprint offer is a common starting point: one important flow between your systems, with defined mappings, access, validation, monitoring, and operating ownership.
