Procore integrates Zoom video calling into platform as job sites adjust to coronavirus

With job sites across the country taking preventative steps to stop the further spread of COVID-19, or coronavirus, Procore Technologies Inc. is ensuring on- and off-site crews can easily stay in touch as construction work continues.

The company announced March 26, it has integrated popular video conferencing provider Zoom directly into its platform.

“In times like these, we see the power that technology can have to keep construction project teams connected and moving forward,” Procore’s CEO Tooey Courtemanche, said in a release. “We know that it is essential to move quickly in order to meet the demands of our users, and our partnership with Zoom is another way Procore is supporting the construction industry during this challenging time.”

While on-site work continues in most Canadian provinces, staff able to work remotely are typically doing so to promote social distancing and keep crews safe. Procore said the added integration with Zoom will help keep project teams connected by simplifying communication.
