CPM that works on the basement job.
And on the CFO's renewal call.
Sympl · Project for GCs in the $20M–$500M annual-volume range. Mobile that holds up in the field, AI agents that produce finished deliverables, transparent pricing — and a Signal funnel no single-product CPM tool can match.
Day-in-the-life
Built for the four GC roles. None of them are an afterthought.
PMs run the project. Supers run the job. Estimators win the work. PEs watch the portfolio. Each gets a first-class surface — and the same primitives so the data stays one source of truth.
Project Manager
Desktop + mobile
Runs 3–8 active projects. Daily: review submittals, draft RFIs, post change events, run a 7am pull-plan, run a 1pm OAC meeting.
Pain today
Switches between Procore + Sage to reconcile commitments vs cost. Subs ignore ITBs in the Procore portal. Can't answer "on schedule?" without exporting to Excel.
Win with Sympl
Submittal compliance agent saves 4–8 hours a week on review admin. One-click GMP vs actuals. Mobile that works on a basement job.
Superintendent
Mobile-only
Lives on the jobsite. Opens a laptop maybe twice a week. Daily: walk the site, mark up drawings, post photos, log T&M, generate the daily log.
Pain today
Procore mobile loads slowly. Drawings re-download after every sync. Can't work offline reliably.
Win with Sympl
Drawings work offline. Daily log auto-drafts from photos + GPS + weather + crew check-ins — just review and submit.
Estimator (preconstruction)
Desktop
Wins bids and hands them to the PM. During bid season: assemble subcontractor pricing, level bids, write proposals.
Pain today
Bid leveling is manual. Subs scattered across email. No way to see which subs were reliable on past projects.
Win with Sympl
Sympl · Signal feeds bid intel. Bid leveling agent normalizes scope. Sub reliability scores carry across past projects.
Project Executive / VP Ops
Desktop + dashboards
Watches 30+ active projects from above. Intervenes when WIP slips or margins erode.
Pain today
Procore dashboards refresh slowly. WIP report needs an analyst. No early-warning on schedule or margin slip.
Win with Sympl
Real-time portfolio view. Agent-flagged exceptions ("3 projects forecast to miss GMP by >2%"). Pricing they can defend to the CFO.
Why GCs switch
Four wedges against the incumbent.
Parity isn't enough to move a 200-person GC off Procore. These are the four reasons we think it's actually worth the switch.
Mobile-first field UX
Built from the super outward, not the PM outward. Drawings cached locally and updated incrementally. Photos uploaded in the background. Daily log can be drafted offline and synced when service returns.
Wedge against Procore mobile regressions.
Transparent pricing
Per-seat or per-project pricing you can quote without sales involvement. No 10–15% annual renewal hike. No "you need the financials module" walls.
Wedge against Procore renewal pressure.
Agents that produce deliverables
Submittal compliance memo on submittal upload. Daily log auto-drafted at end-of-day. RFI drafts from photo + voice. Bid leveling spreadsheet from raw sub pricing. Each comes back with Approve / Edit / Reject — not a chat box.
Wedge against Procore Assist + Datagrid retrieval-only AI.
Integrates with your CMMS
At substantial completion, the asset register — equipment, warranties, O&M manuals, and PM schedules — flows straight into your CMMS instead of a 50-page PDF binder. The operations team starts day one with populated records, not months of re-keying.
A handoff no single-product CPM tool can ship.
Drawings cached locally and marked up on the sheet — the super works the basement job without waiting on a re-download.
GMP vs. actuals without an analyst — committed, billed, EAC, and projected margin on one screen.
AIA G702/G703 pay apps generated against your commitments by default — recognized paper, no configuration.
The funnel
Signal scouts. Project delivers.
The cross-sell story is a real workflow, not a logo on a slide. Find work in Signal, win it, and run it in Project — one identity, one platform.
Scout months early in Sympl · Signal
Public-sector capital projects classified by stage with evidence-backed briefs.
Win the bid
Pursue, propose, win — with the BD context Signal collected over months.
CPM project pre-populated
On award, project lands in Sympl · Project pre-filled with owner, location, scope, GMP, and A/E contact.
Run it in Sympl · Project
Submittals, RFIs, drawings, daily logs, change orders, pay apps — with federation when the owner is also on Sympl.
Honest scope
What we don't do for the GC side.
- Federal authorization (FedRAMP/DoD) — not our current lane.
- Capital portfolio rollups (that's the owner side).
- BIM model authoring — integrate to Autodesk Construction Cloud for the rare project.
- ERP / GL — push to Sage 100/300, Foundation, Acumatica, QuickBooks Online; pull actuals back.
