Goodbye Expesite! Replacing Our real estate project management software
Expesite, a real estate project management software, is being discontinued this year. We're a small commercial real estate development firm looking for a
replacement. Not really impressed with Lucernx or Procore. Considering Smartsheet. We mainly track construction dates, leases, contracts and generate
reports. Our accounting is seperate from project management. What are other Owners/Developers using? Any pros and cons?

Project management is basically data management for construction project, and every tool that you are going to use are very likely based off of Excel.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "iaxbatp", "text": "Smartsheet is good for work flows, tracking, hours tracking, collaborating across teams. It's like excel on steroids. If your accounting is separate than PM then you don't need lucernex.  \n\nWe have lucernex and while it is used for project management as well, it doesn't provide as much for hours tracking or dashboards as you can do on smartsheet or excel.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "ib1j6r6", "text": "We use excel.  We do have Bluebeam and Plangrid for the construction folks.  Also, I\u2019ve heard of Northspyre \u2014 it\u2019s something for draw and construction management, right?  If you\u2019re tracking contracts and construction work, I think it would be helpful.  We don\u2019t use it but we\u2019ve looked into it in the past and it seemed a little expensive (but likely worth it if it meets your needs).", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
