What I personally like best about clearstory is the ability to keep COR's and T&M organized for each of my projects while also having them reference each other seamlessly. This makes tracking so much easier as a PM. Also, empowering our field workers to create tags in the field while having the ability to edit tags from the office is next level.
Clearstory is so organized that we have vendors and contractors asking US (Subcontractor) for logs to help them reconcile their end of things. Always a good thing to have the peace of mind and confidence that your project is sealed tight from a monetary perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clearstory has come a long way; we have been with them almost from the start, certainly, while they were still Extracker. Many improvements have been and continually are being made. The latest COR window improvements were a huge plus from the office side of things. The one thing I would love is the ability to see labor and materials summations on COR log. This would give us an extra level of ganrualrtiy we could benefit as a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest benefit of using Clearstory is the fact that all trade partners upload their project change order requests in one, organized spot. In the past, trades would send over PDF or excel change order logs, and sometimes it would get sent to the wrong individuals, or get lost as personnel managing a project transitioned. Clearstory solves that hassles and everything for a trade's cost lives in one spot. It is very intuitive and easy to use, and anyone from a project engineer to a project executive can go in the program and get a quick snapshot of the subcontractor's cost exposure on a project. Clearstory integrates with Procore, which is perfect given many large GC's utilize Procore as the leading project management software.
I highly recommend Clearstory on a large commercial construction project to help streamline and organize subcontractor cost management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The search function of existing change events in Clearstory does not let you search by change event number, it only lets you search by key words. This should get fixed.
The general contractor should have the ability to change the "in review" dollar amount on a change order request.
The T&M module was somewhat difficult to use. Our project did not utilize it to its full extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clearstory is an outstanding tool that combines ease of use with powerful functionality, fostering transparency across teams. The level of detail it offers is truly impressive. Not to mention, its seamless integration with all team members makes it one of our go-to tools for daily use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No significnat things I dislike about the software. Only thing I wish it was mandatory on all projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The time saving feature of pricing the T&M slips and ability to track what slips are out for different projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Specific projects have different formats for how the change order requests are presented and to the best of my knowledge, Clearstory does not have the ability to use these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find that this platform gives our foremen an easy and accesable way to input time and materials added or needed by the general contractors we work with. It doesn't take any time to fill out, and the ability to send to your GC field coordinator for approval is a step streamlined by the program. The customer support has also been very easy to communicate with. The ease of implementation makes it compatible with all of our on-field devices, making the frequency we use this program very often. Easiest integration we've had so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is very little I do not like. I wish there was a way to save a change order request to a job without sending it to a signee. Sometimes I want to hold onto those before submitting, but do not want to hold it as a Draft. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Once you set up your labor, material and equipment, etc, for the first time, it's very easy and quick to create new change orders Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only inconvinient is setting up your rates for the first time, but even that is very simple, is just the work of doing it for the first time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been in the construction industry for 30 years, most of that time we have been using paper T&M tickets which tend to get lost or damaged (coffee stains) Clearstory has done away with all of those issues. I would strongly recomend it to all of my colleagues, game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
TD i have not experianced any downside using Clearstory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clearstory is without a doubt the best construction related software I have ever used. It does a few things and it does them extremely well. If you need to be able to quickly track T+M without paper, or if you need to present pricing updates of any size to your customer, you need clearstory. I use it every day, I get customers onboard with a simple click, and if they dont want another platform, they can make use of the Direct PDF download hotlinks. This software is easily approacable by everyone from lead carpenters/foreman working on small side projects all the way up to exectutives balancing thousands of work hours each day.

On the rare instance where the sofware doesnt have the feaure I want, I just message customer service right in the app and they get it fixed, or advise me on alternate workflows. The mobile app capability is not quite as robust as the web app, but it is regularly updated to include more features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clearstory can help you organize and maintain all of your change order requests from multiple subs. With a few quick filtering options, you can generate your reports in just a few steps. No more spending time assembling your reports OR making sure the information contained is accurate. What I LOVE so much about Clearstory is that all our subs upload their pricing changes, answer a couple of questions and click submit. Everything we need to assemble a pricing change for the owner can be found in one place - no more sifting through countless email messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
