The Auto-Ingest Standard

Drop a File. POD Maps It to KPIs.

The new PM asked how long setup takes. The answer: drop the file. P6, Excel, PDF, photos, voice memos — the AI mapping engine finds every data point and populates your dashboard. No column mapping. No configuration. No standard like it.

No-Setup Ingestion

Every Other Platform Asks You to Be the Integration Layer

Column mapping wizards. File format restrictions. Manual data entry. Setup that takes longer than the project phase it tracks.

Column-mapping wizards for every file

Every platform asks you to map Column A to Field X, Column B to Field Y. Ten files, ten mapping sessions. You become a data entry clerk before you ever see a KPI.

P6 in one system, Excel in another

Your schedule lives in P6. Your budget in Excel. Your safety in a PDF. No platform reads all three — so you become the integration layer.

Photos and handwritten notes are invisible

The super hands you a photo of a tally board. The safety walk is on a clipboard. None of it reaches the dashboard unless someone types it in manually.

Voice memos sit in a phone forever

The foreman dictates a field report at 6pm. It sits in a voice memo app. Nobody transcribes it. The data inside never reaches a KPI.

Every new project is a fresh setup

New project, new file structure, new column names. Setup takes days. By the time the dashboard works, you have missed the first two weeks of data.

8 File Types In. Hundreds of KPIs Out.

File icons stream into the POD AI engine. Data particles travel along mapping paths. KPI cards light up sequentially as each data source arrives and populates the dashboard.

How Auto-Ingest Works

01

Drop your file into POD

Upload any file — P6, MPP, Excel, CSV, PDF, photo, voice memo, or scanned document. POD accepts it all without requiring a specific format or template.

02

AI maps fields to KPIs

The three-stage AI mapping engine identifies data fields and maps them to hundreds of KPI inputs. No column selection, no field mapping dialogs, no manual configuration.

03

Dashboards populate instantly

KPIs render the moment their required data is present. Supply chain resilience, delivery timing, budget, schedule, safety — every metric lights up as the data arrives.

What Changes When Files Become Intelligence

Drop any file. Done.

Zero setup time

P6, MPP, Excel, CSV, PDF, photo, voice, scanned handwriting — POD accepts it all. No format restrictions. No column mapping dialogs.

AI maps fields automatically

Self-improving accuracy

Three-stage mapping engine: exact match, synonym match, then AI fuzzy match. The system learns per project and improves over time.

KPIs light up instantly

Instant dashboards

The moment required data is present, the KPI renders. Supply chain resilience, delivery timing, budget variance — every metric activates the instant its data arrives.

Cloud storage auto-detect

Hands-free ingestion

Connect Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, or Box. When a new file appears in your project folder, POD auto-ingests it. No manual uploads required.

The Platform That Reads Every Format

Every File Format Accepted

P6 XER, MPP, Excel (any layout), CSV, PDF, JPG/PNG/HEIC photos, voice recordings, and scanned handwritten documents. No format is rejected.

Three-Stage AI Mapping

Exact match, synonym match, then fuzzy AI match. Each stage catches what the previous missed. The system learns your project vocabulary over time.

Photo & Handwriting Recognition

Take a photo of a tally board, clipboard form, or handwritten note. AI vision extracts the data and maps it to KPI fields — no OCR preprocessing required.

Voice Memo Ingestion

Record a voice report at the end of the day. AI transcribes it, extracts quantities and observations, and maps them to the right KPI fields automatically.

Cloud Storage Auto-Sync

Connect your cloud drive. When a P6 export or daily Excel lands in the project folder, POD detects it via webhooks and ingests it automatically.

Coverage Score Gamification

See what percentage of your KPI fields are populated. Drop more files to increase coverage. The more data you provide, the more intelligence POD delivers.

“We had 14 P6 schedules, 8 Excel trackers, and a folder of site photos. We dropped all of them into POD. Every KPI lit up in under a minute. No column mapping. No setup wizard. We went from zero to full dashboard in our first meeting.”
