What it doesProcore's construction payment product: subcontractors submit pay apps and engage on financial activities inside the Procore platform instead of a separate portal. Page lists a checklist view of payment requirements per invoice, invoice review and preparation for payment, a library of pay requirements and lien waiver templates, digital signature collection, unconditional lien waivers staged and released at the time of payment, and approval chains built with Procore Workflows with an audit trail of who reviewed and approved each disbursement. Integrations named on the page include Sage, QuickBooks Connector, Viewpoint and MyCOI. A TruEdge Builds quote cites dozens of hours saved each month (vendor-published quote). The Pay page itself does not describe AI; it links to Procore AI agents as a separate capability (see our Procore AI entry), so we tag Procore Pay Not AI-first.Cloud software that automates the application-for-payment process between general contractors and subcontractors: pay app workflows and automation, lien waiver creation and exchange, compliance document collection, ERP and accounting integration, electronic payments, reporting and dashboards, and official AIA documents. Its change order page says approved change orders sync into the schedule of values (SOV) and pay apps, entries are checked against SOV and contract values, and a BNBuilders quote says GCPay prevents subs from submitting pay apps against unapproved change orders (vendor-published quote). Homepage cites 55+ ENR Top 400 contractors, $35B+ in AFPs processed this year, 6.9M+ lien waivers exchanged and 60,000+ active companies (vendor claims). The pages we read do not describe AI features, so we tag it Not AI-first.
