Pour scheduling for concrete subs

Stop texting your crew about canceled pours.

Place & Finish Hub™ turns a canceled pour into one click. Your project manager, superintendent, ready-mix supplier, pump operator, general contractor, owner’s rep, and crew are all notified in seconds. Plus a 365-day Lookahead, crew double-booking detection, live weather per project, and cubic yards tracked across every pour, project, and day. Built for concrete subcontractors, not retrofitted from generic project-management software.

14 days free. Cancel anytime — no charge until day 15. Full product, realtime sync, role-based access, complete audit trail. Runs in any browser, office PCs to field tablets.

The flagship feature

The cancellation that doesn’t take 45 minutes.

It’s 4:47 AM. The forecast just flipped — 0.6 inches of rain by noon. Your 6 AM pour is dead.

Right now, you do this:
  1. Text your foreman
  2. Call ready-mix dispatch
  3. Call the pump operator (who’s already in the truck)
  4. Text the GC’s super
  5. Email the owner’s rep
  6. Try to remember who else needs to know
  7. Repeat tomorrow when you reschedule
With Planning Ops, you do this:
  1. Open the pour. Click Cancel.
  2. Pick a reason (Weather → Rain).
  3. Click Notify all contacts.
  4. Done.

Every name on the project — Project Manager, Superintendent, Operations Manager, Ready-Mix Supplier, Pump Operator, General Contractor, Owner’s Rep, plus any custom contacts you’ve added — gets a tailored email within seconds. With the new pour date if you’ve already rescheduled. With the reason. With your contact info to reply.

SMS notifications coming soon. Reach every contact through two channels — email and text. Because the dispatcher who isn’t checking email at 5 AM is still checking their phone.
The pump operator doesn’t roll a truck for nothing. The batch plant doesn’t mix a load you can’t take. The GC’s super isn’t blindsided. Your foreman knows where the crew is going instead.
This single feature pays for the subscription. A pump call-off runs $400–$800. A wasted batch is $1,200 or more. A single fumbled cancellation can cost more than several months of Planning Ops.
Built for the way concrete subs actually work

Place & Finish Hub — plus Manpower Tracker, included with the bundle.

Place & Finish Hub is the daily pour calendar your superintendents open every morning, with cancellation notifications, crew double-booking detection, live weather per project, and a 365-day Lookahead. Manpower Tracker handles crew weeks and projection for specialty subcontractors who need it — available separately or bundled with Place & Finish at the same seat band.

Place & Finish Hub · concrete subs

The pour schedule your superintendents open every morning.

A daily pour calendar built for flatwork — not a generic project-management bolt-on. Projects are rows grouped by region, days are columns; drag activity pills onto cells to schedule pours. Cancellation notifications, weather, crew conflicts, and cubic yards totals update automatically as you work.

  • One-click cancellation notifications — when a pour cancels, every project contact (PM, Super, Ops Manager, Ready-Mix Supplier, Pump Operator, GC, Owner’s Rep, custom contacts) plus the assigned crew gets a tailored email with the reason + reschedule date (SMS coming soon)
  • 365-day Lookahead with approval flow — sketch future pours on a rolling pill calendar, then approve into the daily Schedule in one click; bidirectional sync keeps both surfaces matched
  • Crew double-booking detection — flags overlapping pours with a ⚠ badge on both pills, click-to-jump conflict popover, rose banner above the grid
  • Live weather per project — color-coded strip per row (green/amber/rose), 10-day rolling forecast tied to each job’s zip code
  • Cubic yards — per-pour, per-project, per-day rollups in the KPI strip and on every export
  • Branded distribution — XLSX, PDF, or email with HTML body + XLSX attachment to your user directory
  • Activity pill palette — SOG / SOMD / PANELS / FDN / DOCK PITS / DOLLY PADS / CURBS plus your own custom types
  • Analytics — total pours, yards, pump pours, peak day, per-region split, per-crew utilization
  • Roles — Admin / Editor (+ Primary) / Collaborator (city-scoped) / Viewer

  • Distribution — branded XLSX exports, per-foreman PDF crew sheets, Weekly Digest email, full schedule email + XLSX
  • CSV roster import — pull employees and projects from a spreadsheet in one pass

Real product · real data

Not a render. Not a wireframe. Live hubs.

These are captures from real tenants. The weather strips, the conflict badges, the manpower-gap deltas — what you see here is what your team will use Monday morning.

Place & Finish Hub Schedule view — daily pour calendar with weather strips, region grouping (Atlanta, Nashville, Orlando), activity pills, and confirmed/canceled status badges
Place & Finish · Schedule

Daily pour board, region grouped, weather painted on every cell.

Activity pills (SOG, PANELS, CURBS, DOCK PITS) carry status — CONFIRMED, CANCELED. KPI strip across the top: Today / Tomorrow / This Week / Next Week / Active.

See All P&F Screenshots →

Manpower Tracker Projection view — manpower gap strip color-coded as surplus / at capacity / shortage, scheduled jobs with weekly headcount, and projected jobs with phase strips (Foundations, SOG, Panels, Dock Pits, Paving, Sidewalks)
Manpower Tracker · Projection

The shortage radar — surplus, at-capacity, or short, week by week.

Manpower Gap strip across the top. Scheduled jobs render with weekly headcount; projected jobs get phased color strips. Spot the overtime crunch before the GC asks.

Field-ready · iPad-native

Update from the truck, the trailer, or the pour itself.

Both hubs are tuned for iPad Safari — open the URL, save it to the home screen, and the schedule is one tap away. No native app, no separate mobile build. The same data the office sees is what the field edits.

  • Fullscreen on tap — one button collapses the topbar and filters so the whole calendar fills the iPad.
  • Touch-first edits — drag-select cells on the Schedule, drag-drop pour pills on the Lookahead, tap to swap a foreman.
  • Auth survives reloads — Safari can refresh, the iPad can sleep, the session sticks around so nobody is signing in on every break.
  • One account, anywhere — same login on desktop, tablet, and phone. Edits sync in real time across every device.
How it works

Three steps from signup to running the week.

Frequently asked

Questions before you sign up.

How do cancellation notifications work?
Open the canceled pour, click Cancel, pick a reason (for example, Weather › Rain), and click Notify all contacts. Every project contact on file — Project Manager, Superintendent, Operations Manager, Ready-Mix Supplier, Concrete Pump Operator, General Contractor, Owner’s Rep, and any custom contacts you have added — receives a tailored email within seconds. Any Place & Finish crew member with an email on file is included automatically. Each email contains the canceled date, the reason, a rescheduled date if one has been set, and your contact info for replies. SMS notifications are on the roadmap, so you will be able to reach recipients through both email and phone.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes — 14 days of full access. A valid payment method is required at signup but is not charged during the trial. Cancel from your billing portal within the first 14 days and you will not be billed. After day 14, billing starts at the plan you selected; you can cancel or switch plans at any time from the same portal. We require a payment method up front because it keeps the trial focused on real evaluation and lets your hub transition seamlessly to paid service on day 15 with no interruption.
What does the 365-day Lookahead do?
A rolling 365-day planning surface separate from the daily Schedule. Drag pour-type tiles (SOG, FDN, PANELS, and so on) onto project-by-date cells to sketch future work; your collaborators — field leads and superintendents — see it in realtime. Admins and Editors approve pills onto the Schedule in one click when the date is locked in. Bidirectional sync keeps the two surfaces matched: move or cancel on the Schedule and the Lookahead pill follows.
What does Place & Finish Hub actually do?
Daily pour calendar built specifically for concrete subs. Projects are rows grouped by region (Atlanta, Nashville, Orlando, etc.), days are columns. Drag activity pills (SOG, SOMD, PANELS, FDN, DOCK PITS, CURBS, DOLLY PADS) onto cells to schedule pours. Live weather strip color-codes every project by zip code (green = good, amber = hedge, rose = hold, red ! = severe). Crew double-booking detection flags overlapping pours with a ⚠ badge + click-to-jump conflict popover. Cubic yards roll up per pour, per project, per day. Cancellation notifications auto-email every project contact when a pour cancels. The 365-day Lookahead is a rolling pill calendar for high-level staging that two-way syncs with the Schedule.
Is this just Excel in the cloud?
No. These are live web applications backed by a real database with realtime sync — not a file attachment. Everyone sees the same current schedule, analytics recompute when the date range changes, and conflict detection runs continuously. You can still export branded Excel or PDF when a general contractor wants a snapshot, but day-to-day operations happen inside the hub on a PC or tablet, not in a workbook attached to someone’s inbox.
What analytics does Manpower Tracker include?
Pick a date range and flip to Analytics: KPI tiles summarize the window, then interactive charts cover manpower curve per project (headcount over time), headcount per foreman, project mix for the current week, and utilization (what share of your active roster is actually placed on real work). Every Manpower subscription includes those views — there is no separate “analytics tier.” When your tenant enables day mode, rollups can drop to daily granularity for tighter crews. Projection view pairs with a Manpower Gap strip that flags surplus, at-capacity, or shortage weeks against scheduled plus projected demand.
Is my company's data isolated from other customers?
Yes — completely. Planning Ops is built on Postgres row-level security. Every query carries your company’s tenant ID as a JWT claim, and the database itself enforces the boundary. There is no application-level path to read another tenant’s data — same class of isolation serious B2B SaaS relies on between customers.
Are Manpower Tracker and Place & Finish one subscription?
They are always separate hubs (each has its own URL, user directory, and data boundary). You can buy one product first and add the other later, or choose the bundle at signup for one subscription that activates both at the same seat band — typically a better price than paying for each product separately. Many concrete subs start with Place & Finish; mechanical or multi-trade subs often add Manpower when roster complexity justifies it.
How do my team members log in?
When you (the admin) add a team member, they get an email with a one-click activation link and a temporary password. They set their own password on first login. Forgot-password resets and password-reuse rejection (last 5) are built in.
Can I move to a larger seat band later?
Yes. You can switch seat bands any time from your subscription portal — the new cap takes effect immediately and Stripe prorates the difference. Moving to a smaller band typically takes effect at the end of your current billing period so you do not strand active users mid-month.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes on monthly billing — cancel from the subscription portal and access continues through the period you already paid for. Annual plans are paid upfront for 12 months at the discounted rate (two months free vs monthly). Your data is preserved for 30 days after cancellation in case you change your mind.
How does annual billing work?
Annual is 10 months of price for 12 months of service — the same seat band and features as monthly, billed once per year through Stripe. Toggle Annual · 2 months free on the pricing section or at signup with ?billing=annual.
How does billing work?
Planning Ops is a month-to-month subscription through Stripe — pick the seat band that matches your headcount and invite your team when you are ready. Cancel any time from your billing portal and access continues through the period you have already paid for.
Can I import existing data from spreadsheets?
Manpower Tracker includes a CSV roster import from the Send the Week menu — pull employees and projects from a spreadsheet in one pass. Place & Finish is usually faster to set up by hand (regions, jobs, pour types). For a complex migration on either hub, email admin@planningops.com and we will help you map the fastest path.
What about SSO or custom integrations?
Single sign-on (SAML and Google Workspace) is on the roadmap. Custom integrations such as Procore and Sage are evaluated case by case. If you have specific requirements, please contact us.
Who built this?
Planning Ops is built by people who run construction operations day-to-day. The tools were the internal tools first; we packaged them up after enough peers asked to use them.
