With this buyout, Procore will add lien rights management to its platform. This, in turn, is likely to make the process of business compliance easier and shorter for its users, making the payment process more seamless.
Notably, the consideration of $500 million is split up into $425 million in cash and $75 million in Procore common stock.
The CEO of Procore, Tooey Courtemanche, said, “Levelset helps the construction industry get paid faster, and their offering will be a perfect addition to the Procore platform. This acquisition will also give Procore access to industry data, including payments and compliance activity, allowing us to deliver valuable risk intelligence to our customers, and to develop innovative financial products.” (See Procore stock chart on TipRanks)
