Your 3-Week Lookahead Is
Outdated by Tuesday
The Challenge
2 hours to build, wrong by Tuesday
Monday morning you pull up the master schedule, check constraints, talk to subs, and build the lookahead. Tuesday a delivery slips and the whole thing needs rework.
Excel cannot handle field reality
Lookaheads live in spreadsheets with no connection to what actually happens each day. There is zero feedback loop from the field to the plan.
Subs ignore the lookahead anyway
34% of planned activities slip every week because subcontractors do not have visibility into the lookahead or it does not match their internal planning.
No early warning when activities slip
You find out an activity is behind on Friday when the sub tells you they need another week. No system flags the slippage in real time.
The POD Solution Path
Daily reports feed the lookahead
Every voice report captures progress, delays, and constraints. POD auto-updates the lookahead based on actual field conditions.
Activity completion tracking
See which activities are on track, which are slipping, and which have new constraints. Real-time visibility without manual updates.
Constraint alerts
Material deliveries, inspection holds, sub mobilization — POD flags constraints before they impact the lookahead schedule.
Sub visibility
Share the live lookahead with subcontractors. They see their upcoming activities and can flag issues before they become schedule busters.
Smarter Short-Term Planning
Auto-Generated Lookahead
POD builds the 3-week view from your daily reports and master schedule. No more Monday morning spreadsheet sessions.
Slip Detection
Activities trending behind get flagged automatically so you can intervene before they impact the critical path.
Constraint Tracking
Every constraint — materials, inspections, permits, sub availability — tracked and linked to affected activities.
