Subcontractor Intelligence

12 Subcontractors. Zero Visibility.
How POD Exposed the Coordination Crisis.

Apex General Contractors ran a $40M commercial build with 12 specialty subs. Weekly coordination meetings caught nothing. POD revealed 47 hidden failures in the first 30 days.

The Blind Spot

Weekly sub meetings gave Apex a false sense of control. POD's Reliability Heatmap exposed month-over-month degradation that no one was tracking.

Measuring What Matters

Coordination is not a feeling. POD quantifies it across six dimensions and shows exactly where trade relationships break down.

Trade Interactions

Not all trade overlaps are equal. Some pairs work seamlessly together while others generate conflict every time they share space. POD maps the invisible friction.

The Cost of Poor Coordination

Every coordination failure cascades into schedule impact. POD tracks the days lost per trade and shows the reduction achievable with real-time visibility.

How POD Works

1

Speak Your Report

60-second voice input captures crew counts, trade activities, coordination notes, and safety observations.

2

AI Maps Coordination Data

POD automatically maps sub performance to reliability scores, coordination metrics, and trade interaction patterns.

3

Dashboard Reveals Blind Spots

Real-time heatmaps, radar charts, and cascade analysis expose coordination failures before they become schedule disasters.

The POD Advantage

From invisible coordination gaps to quantified trade intelligence in days, not months.

Reliability Scoring

Every subcontractor gets a data-driven reliability score updated daily. No more gut feelings or waiting for quarterly reviews to discover underperformance.

Daily sub visibility

Coordination Intelligence

Six-axis radar scoring quantifies trade coordination across communication, scheduling, safety, quality, documentation, and resource sharing.

6-dimension scoring

Trade Chemistry Analysis

POD maps which trade pairs work well together and which create conflict. Schedule overlapping trades strategically based on real interaction data.

Predict conflicts

Cascade Prevention

See exactly how many schedule days each coordination failure costs. POD flags cascade risks before one sub delay becomes a project-wide crisis.
