Case Study: Bernards scales operational excellence with Procore AI

Bernards cuts AP busy work by 60% to 70% with Procore

Bernards, an employee-owned commercial builder, faced challenges with inconsistent operations and risk visibility due to highly customized legacy systems as they managed dozens of complex projects. This made onboarding new hires difficult and hindered data-driven decision-making across the company. To address this, they partnered with vendor Procore Technologies to standardize on the Procore platform for project management and financials.

The solution involved implementing Procore to create consistent workflows and clean, structured data. Bernards then leveraged Procore's AI solutions, including the recently acquired Datagrid, to automate administrative tasks, identify project risks through data analysis, and improve forecasting. This resulted in a more scalable operation, with AI saving significant time on tasks like RFI research and potentially reducing accounts payable busy work by 60-70%, which is equivalent to two or three full-time employees.
