A Directory Lists Subs.
POD Scores Them.
Your current platform lists your subcontractors in a directory. Name, trade, contact info. That's useful for a phone call. A performance decision needs more. POD scores every subcontractor across 5 dimensions — schedule, cost, quality, safety, responsiveness — automatically, from daily field data.
The Subcontractor Intelligence Gap
A directory tells you who your subs are. POD tells you how they perform.
Directory, Not Intelligence
A subcontractor directory is a contact list. Name, trade, phone number, insurance expiration. POD turns daily field data into reliability and risk intelligence for every sub on the roster.
Performance Scoring Across 5 Dimensions
How did each sub actually perform over the last 6 months? POD maintains real-time scorecards across 5 dimensions: schedule, cost, quality, safety, and responsiveness.
Cost-vs-Value Analysis
Is your most expensive sub also your best performer? Or are you overpaying for mediocrity? POD maps cost to delivered value so you see who earns their rate.
Risk Concentration, Flagged
When 40% of your budget is with one sub, that's concentration risk. POD's risk analysis flags over-reliance before it becomes a single-point-of-failure problem.
Transparent vs. Hidden Pricing
Drag the slider to see POD’s cost for your team size. No sales call needed.
How POD Turns a Directory Into Intelligence
Performance scored, risk measured, value quantified
Multi-Dimensional Scorecard
Real-time scoring across schedule, cost, quality, safety, and responsiveness. Every sub gets a composite score derived from daily field data — no manual rating required.
Cost-vs-Value Analysis
Scatter plot comparing sub spend against performance score to identify best and worst value. See which subs deliver the most per dollar and which are costing you more than they're worth.
Risk Concentration Mapping
Visual exposure map showing sub dependency by trade, budget, and schedule criticality. Know where your project is vulnerable to a single sub's failure.
Handoff Efficiency
Measures how well each sub transitions work to the next trade in the sequence. Poor handoffs cascade delays. POD quantifies the cost of bad transitions.
Subcontractor Intelligence — Performance Scored, Risk Measured
Real KPIs from the POD platform — every sub rated, every dollar of value tracked
A sub directory vs a sub scorecard.
Same subcontractors. One tells you how to reach them; the other tells you how they perform.
| Capability | Legacy ToolsA subcontractor contact directory | Plan of DayPerformance scorecard, auto-calculated |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Name, trade, phone, insurance expiration | ▲ BETTER A composite performance score per sub, built from daily field data, no manual rating |
| Dimensions scored | None; a directory does not rate anyone | ▲ MORE Five: schedule, cost, quality, safety, and responsiveness, each scored separately |
| Cost vs value | Contract value in one place, performance in your memory | ▲ BETTER Spend plotted against performance, so the best and worst value on the roster are obvious |
| Risk concentration | Not surfaced; you notice when one sub stalls the job | ▲ BETTER Exposure by sub across budget, trade, and schedule criticality, with over-reliance flagged |
| Cross-project history | Starts over on every job | ▲ MORE A track record for every sub across all your projects, ready when the next bid comes in |
Comparison based on publicly available information. “Legacy Tools” refers to typical field-reporting and point-solution software generally, not any specific product.
Subcontractor Intelligence That Works
5-Dimension Scoring
Schedule reliability, cost performance, quality results, safety record, and responsiveness — all scored automatically from daily field data.
Cross-Project History
Every sub builds a historical track record across all your projects. Make bid decisions based on data, not gut feel.
Early Warning Alerts
When a sub's performance starts declining — missed milestones, rising rework, safety incidents — POD alerts you before it becomes a project problem.
Value-Per-Dollar Ranking
See which subs deliver the highest performance per dollar of contract value. Stop overpaying for underperformance.
