Field Reporting Needs
Construction DNA.
Planday reports who clocked in for a restaurant shift. Plan of Day reports what happened on your construction site — crews, work, safety, equipment, weather, and progress. Built for the field, not the front desk.
Why Generic Tools Fail in the Field
Construction field reporting demands purpose-built tools
Field workers cannot type detailed reports
Your superintendent just finished 10 hours in the heat. Asking them to type a detailed daily report on a phone screen is why field adoption fails. Construction needs voice input that works with gloves, in rain, on scaffolding.
Daily reports require construction-specific structure
A construction daily report is not a timesheet entry. It requires crew counts by trade, work descriptions by CSI division, equipment utilization, material deliveries, weather conditions, safety observations, and visitor logs. Planday captures none of this.
Jobsites have unreliable connectivity
Construction sites are often in areas with poor cell coverage. Field reporting tools must work offline and sync when connectivity returns. Planday assumes consistent internet — fine for a restaurant, problematic for a bridge project.
Photos and documents are part of the record
Construction daily reports include progress photos, inspection records, delivery tickets, and markup images. These are legal project records. A scheduling tool has no concept of construction document management.

Speak your daily report while walking the jobsite. AI captures crew counts, work activities, safety observations, equipment, and weather from your spoken words. Works with gloves, in rain, on any device.
Offline-Ready for Any Jobsite
Full offline capability with automatic sync. Report from underground tunnels, rural wind farms, or dense urban sites with poor connectivity. Your data is never lost.
Photos + Voice = Complete Record
Snap photos during your walkthrough, speak your observations, and POD combines visual evidence with structured data into one complete daily record.
From Field to Boardroom Automatically

The Real Cost of Planday
6 metrics that prove POD delivers better outcomes — using KPIs that Planday can't even show you
Your Crew Gets Their First Hour Back
Your foreman spends 45 minutes every day on paperwork after a 10-hour shift. That's 188 hours per year per person — nearly 5 full work weeks — lost to forms, typing, and data entry. With Planday, reporting is still a chore.
POD replaces all of it with a 60-second voice report in 10 languages. No forms, no typing, no laptop. AI structures everything automatically. Crews start producing from minute one.
Ask Planday to show you your crew's first-hour productivity. They can't — they don't even track it.
Every Near-Miss Gets Captured
90% of near-misses go unreported because reporting is too hard. The ones that escalate to recordable incidents cost an average of $42,000 each — and they were preventable. Planday can't tell you what it doesn't capture.
Voice-first reporting captures incidents in real-time. AI categorizes severity, identifies patterns, and alerts supervisors before near-misses become accidents. The more you capture, the safer your site.
How many near-misses went unreported on your site last month? Planday doesn't know. POD does.
Your Data Is Never Stale
By the time your executive team reads a report from Planday, the data is already 24-48 hours old. Decisions based on stale data cost projects an average of 7% in overruns. You're always looking in the rearview mirror.
Data flows in continuously via voice, photos, and file uploads. The dashboard updates in real-time. Every KPI reflects what's happening right now — not yesterday, not last week.
Your last report from Planday was already outdated by the time you opened it. POD never sleeps.
Detect Turnover Before It Happens
Construction turnover averages 68% annually. Frustrated crews leave when their concerns aren't heard, their work isn't recognized, and their tools waste their time. Every departing crew member costs $15,000+ to replace. Planday shows you output — not morale.
60-second reporting removes frustration. AI highlights team achievements. Momentum tracking shows managers which crews are thriving and which need support — before resignations happen.
Does Planday tell you which crews are accelerating and which are about to quit? POD sees it weeks ahead.
From Data to Decision in 12 Minutes
Project managers spend 4.5 hours per day gathering data, compiling reports, and waiting for field information before making a single decision. That's more than half of an 8-hour day spent on administrative overhead. Planday gives you data to export — not answers.
Voice reports auto-structure into hundreds of KPIs. 9 AI agents analyze continuously. Decisions that took hours now take minutes — with better data supporting them.
Planday gives you data to export and analyze yourself. POD gives you answers in 12 minutes.
Five Dimensions. One Score. Zero Guessing.
Most construction software tracks metrics in silos. Safety doesn't talk to budget. Schedule doesn't connect to labor. You're making decisions with fragments of the picture. That's how projects go 20% over budget. Planday can't connect the dots.
POD's Momentum Score combines schedule adherence, budget health, safety record, quality score, and labor efficiency into one number. You see the full picture — instantly.
Show us where Planday connects schedule to budget to safety to quality to labor in one view. We'll wait.
