Quantity Tracking
Should Not Take All Night
The Challenge
End-of-day guesswork
Foremen estimate quantities from memory at the end of a 10-hour day. How many cubic yards of concrete? How many linear feet of pipe? Estimates are consistently 15-20% wrong.
No unit rate tracking
You know the total quantity but not the production rate. How many CY per hour? How many LF per crew day? Without unit rates you cannot forecast or improve.
Cumulative errors compound
A 5% daily error becomes an 18% monthly error becomes a $2M annual problem. Quantity tracking errors compound silently until the pay application gets disputed.
Variance blindness
You bid 10,000 CY of excavation. Are you at 4,000 or 6,000? Without daily tracking against bid quantities you do not know you are over or under until it is too late.
The POD Solution Path
Voice-report quantities in the field
Foreman speaks placed 45 cubic yards of concrete at building B foundation. POD captures quantity, unit, location, and bid item.
Automatic unit rates
POD calculates production rates from quantity and crew hours. See CY/hour, LF/day, and SF/crew automatically.
Cumulative tracking
See actual vs. bid quantities for every line item in real time. Know exactly where you stand before preparing pay applications.
Variance alerts
Approaching bid quantity limits? Running behind production targets? POD flags variances so you can adjust before problems compound.
Production Intelligence
Bid Item Tracking
Every daily quantity linked to a bid item. Know your percent complete on every line item in real time.
Unit Rate Analysis
Production rates calculated from daily data. Compare crew efficiency across activities and time periods.
Pay App Ready
Generate pay application quantities directly from verified daily production data. No more end-of-month scrambles.
“We under-reported quantities by 12% for three months before we caught it. That was $400K in unbilled work. POD catches quantity discrepancies the same day.”
