PLOT

PLOT is a construction logistics management software product that combines procurement and delivery workflows into a single coordination tool for construction project teams. It is positioned as a replacement for logistics plan PDFs, delivery whiteboards and procurement log spreadsheets, with the stated aim of ensuring that materials are approved, ordered and delivered on schedule.

The product has two main sides. On procurement, it provides a digital procurement log that calculates deadlines, synchronizes with the master construction schedule and submittals, and lets general contractors and trade contractors collaborate on lead times and progress updates. On delivery logistics, it pairs logistics mapping with delivery scheduling so that trade deliveries follow rules set by the general contractor, and so that gates, docks, cranes and lifts are not double-booked. Superintendents can configure jobsite rules that pre-screen requests, while trade foremen reserve unloading locations and equipment through the PLOT app.

Additional capabilities described by the company include integration with Critical Path Method schedules to determine when material is required on site, submittal status tracking that links materials to approval status, and site resource reservations for gates, loading zones and equipment.
