Hit 500 job files in our cloud system last Tuesday without noticing

I was cleaning up old project folders and saw we crossed 500 active jobs in Procore. We started using it back in 2018 with just 12 guys on one site near downtown Austin. Now we have 4 crews running and I barely touch paper blueprints anymore. Anyone else surprised how fast digital project management just became the norm without anyone deciding to switch?

@kaih36 yeah I feel that. I just watched a video from some construction tech guy talking about how the industry is gonna be mostly digital by 2025 whether people like it or not. It's crazy cause I remember my old foreman griping about having to email out the job list instead of handing out a paper copy back in 2019. Now the guys won't even look at a paper sheet if you give em one.

I used to hate the idea of cloud systems but hitting that milestone made me realize it just works.

@dixon.iris that video must have been from a guy who's never watched a crew try to figure out a tablet with wet gloves in the rain. Cloud systems are great until the internet goes out and suddenly you're standing around like a bunch of chickens with your heads cut off yelling at a spinning wheel. That milestone you hit @kaih36 sounds nice but I bet it came with at least one screaming match over a forgotten password or a file that vanished into the digital void never to be seen again. Paper might be dead but the stories of how it died are still pretty funny from a safe distance.
