Capability matrix
| Capability | ProjectBoard | Procore (Construction Management) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project portal (public/customer/internal visibility) | Full | Partial | Procore focuses on internal project collaboration; portal varies by setup |
| Brochures/media gallery with signed delivery | Native | Partial | FileVault signed links vs document storage |
| Progress updates stream (weekly/monthly/milestone) | Full | Partial | ProjectBoard is update-first for stakeholders |
| Event-driven audience resolution and delivery | Native | Partial | OccupancyCore resolves; NotifyCenter/EmailHub deliver |
| Configurable categories for non-construction projects | Full | ProjectBoard is project-type neutral | |
| RFIs / Submittals / Drawings management | Full | Out of scope for ProjectBoard | |
| Cost management and change orders | Full | Out of scope for ProjectBoard | |
| External webhooks to sync public site/portal | Native | Partial | Signed webhooks + retries |
Total cost of ownership
If you only need a polished project portal + progress updates and notifications, ProjectBoard is lighter to deploy and cheaper to operate than a full construction suite. If you need RFIs/submittals/cost controls, you may still use Procore and publish stakeholder updates through ProjectBoard.
Assumptions
- Primary need is stakeholder visibility (customers/public) and consistent update publishing

About ProjectBoard
ProjectBoard turns every project into a shareable, structured page with a clear timeline. Add descriptions, locations, amenities, cover media, image galleries, and brochures stored securely in file-vault.
Post progress updates on a schedule or publish instantly. Updates support categories (configurable per workspace), attachments, and visibility rules (public, customers-only, internal). When an update is published, ProjectBoard emits events so other apps can resolve audience and deliver notifications—without ProjectBoard needing to know who the customers are.
Use it for construction projects, property developments, events, product launches, internal initiatives, and any workflow that needs a “project home” plus an update stream.
