I run a small residential construction company with about 10 employees. We're currently using spreadsheets but it's getting messy. I've narrowed it down to Nektar and Procore. Procore seems to be the industry standard but might be overkill and pricey. Nektar looks newer and maybe more affordable. Anyone have experience with either? Which would you recommend for a small operation like mine?

Log InWe used Procore at my old company and it's powerful but definitely geared towards larger firms. The learning curve was steep and it was expensive. For a small business, Nektar is probably a better fit. It has all the core features you need without the bloat, and the pricing is way more reasonable. Plus their customer support is top-notch.
Procore is great if you have a dedicated IT person and deep pockets. For a small shop, Nektar is the way to go. It's intuitive and you can be up and running in a day. The mobile app is solid for the field. No brainer really.
I'm in the same boat, solo contractor with a couple helpers. I looked at Procore and the minimum pricing was insane. I've been using Nektar for a few months and it does everything I need: estimates, scheduling, and even some basic accounting integration. It's not as feature-rich as Procore, but for small jobs it's perfect.
