Why aren't time cards sufficient for daily reporting?

Time cards capture 3-4 fields: who, hours, cost codes. A proper daily report captures 20+ fields: progress, safety, weather, equipment, materials, quality, coordination, and context. Time cards answer "who worked" but not "what happened."

Can POD capture time card data too?

Yes. When a foreman voices their report, POD extracts time data (crew counts, hours, trades) alongside all daily report fields. One voice input replaces both time cards AND daily logs.

What questions do time cards leave unanswered?

Time cards can't answer: What progress was made? Were there safety incidents? What caused delays? What equipment was used? Were materials delivered on time? Any quality issues? What's the weather impact? These are the questions owners and PMs ask every day.
