Floor by floor.Day by day.
Concrete is topping out on 40. Curtain wall is climbing 30. MEP rough-in is on 20. Finishes are on 10. One tower crane feeds all of it — and the only place that whole vertical picture exists is in four superintendents’ heads.
The Vertical Coordination Problem
A tower runs every trade at once on one shared crane. The status that matters is vertical, and no weekly PDF can hold it.
Multi-floor coordination is exponentially complex
Concrete on floor 40, curtain wall on 30, MEP rough-in on 20, finishes on 10 — all running at once on shared vertical logistics. No single person can hold the whole tower in their head, and the weekly roll-up is already stale.
The tower crane drives the critical path
One or two cranes feed every trade. Every pick is contested, and a scheduling conflict on the crane cascades delays up and down the building. Crane time is the scarcest resource on the job and the hardest to see.
Wind delays are unpredictable and hard to prove
High wind stops crane operations, curtain-wall installation, and any exterior work. Documenting each shutdown — when, how long, what it stopped — with enough precision to support a schedule claim is its own full-time job.
Vertical logistics bottleneck every trade
Hoists, cranes, and elevators are shared. Getting the right material to the right floor at the right time takes constant coordination, and a missed hoist window idles a crew twenty floors up.
POD for High-Rise
From the pour cycle to the crane log to work at height, POD captures the vertical job every day from the field.
The Whole Tower in One Daily
Your supers already report floor by floor — concrete on 40, curtain wall on 30, MEP on 20. POD captures each of those dailies by voice and structures them into one same-day record the whole team reads, instead of four separate sets of notes.
Crane Downtime Log
Log crane picks and downtime from the field as they happen. The day’s crane activity and lost time land in the structured daily, so a contested-crane pattern is visible in the record instead of living in the super’s memory.
Wind-Delay Documentation
Capture high-wind shutdowns and crane downtime with timestamps and the activities they stopped, straight from the field. A delay claim then rests on a dated, auditable log instead of a reconstructed narrative.
Work-at-Height Risk
Track proximity and at-height risk from daily observations — crane swing radius, edge exposure, hoist areas — and surface where risk is climbing, so the crew acts before an incident instead of documenting one after.
Vertical Logistics Notes
Crews note hoist, delivery, and material constraints in the daily voice report — what is staged, what is waiting, what blocked a floor. POD structures those notes into the record so the logistics friction is written down, not just felt.
Watch the Tower Rise
Floors stack from the ground up. The tower crane climbs with the top floor. Each level flips from in-progress to topped-out, and the floors-complete count keeps pace with the cycle.
The two numbers a high-rise lives on: cycle pace and risk at height
These KPIs auto-populate from daily field uploads — no manual data entry required.

Purpose-Built for Going Vertical
Floor-Cycle Notes
Capture which level is on formwork, rebar, pour, strip, or reshore from the daily voice report, so the floor cycle is written into the record day to day instead of tracked on a whiteboard in the trailer.
Hoist & Elevator Log
Log hoist and construction-elevator availability and the constraints crews hit, captured from the field, so vertical-transport friction shows up in the daily instead of only in a crew standing idle.
Wind-Speed & Downtime Log
Record wind events and the hours they halted crane or exterior work, with the impacted activities, as a timestamped field log for schedule documentation.
At-Height Observation Capture
Capture safety observations tied to floor and zone — tie-off, guardrail, and leading-edge exposure — so proximity risk is tracked where the fall hazard actually is.
The POD Difference
POD turns a dozen floors of scattered daily reports into one live picture of the tower. The vertical status that used to live in four supers’ heads is in one place, updated every day from the field.
