One pour. One source of truth. Everyone notified.
The notice that doesn't take 45 minutes.
Right now a status change means eight messages — PM, super, ready-mix, pump operator, the rebar sub, the GC. One click does it instead.
It moved.
Drag the pill to the new day — Planning Ops sends a “moved from Tuesday to Wednesday” notice automatically, old date and new, no retyping.
It's off.
Click Cancel, pick a reason — everyone knows, with the why and a reschedule date.

See how pour notifications work →Still running pours on a spreadsheet? It probably works — until it doesn't.
Nothing wrong with a spreadsheet. Mine ran the same way for years. Here's the honest list of where it quietly costs you — see how many you recognize.
Stale weather
Someone retypes the forecast Monday. By Friday at 4 AM, nobody trusts it.
Forked versions
You email it Monday; by Wednesday everyone’s on a different copy. “What schedule are you looking at?”
Invisible double-bookings
Same crew, two pours — the sheet shows both rows and warns no one.
The cancellation phone tree
A spreadsheet can’t notify anyone. So it’s eight texts at 4:47 AM.
Manual yard rollups
Finance wants yards by region; it’s a pivot table someone rebuilds weekly.
Planning Ops fixes these without asking you to change how you think about your week. It's the same schedule — just live, shared, and able to tell everyone when something moves.
See How It Compares to a Spreadsheet →One platform, three modules

Start With One Pour →Who built this
Built by a concrete operations manager. Owned by a veteran.
Planning Ops was built from scratch — on his own time — by a U.S. military veteran and working concrete ops manager, around how scheduling actually works in the field: the mud at 6 AM, the 4:47 AM phone tree. Real product, real screenshots — no fabricated logo wall, no invented testimonials.

Questions concrete subs ask
Can I confirm a pour, not just cancel one?
Yes — confirmation is the everyday case. One click on a pour sends the “it’s a go” notice to your project contacts, crew lead, and pump/screed leads (or save it silently if you’d rather not notify). It’s the same one-click flow whether the pour is on, moved, or off.
What happens when I have to reschedule last minute?
Just drag the pour to the new day. Planning Ops sends an automatic reschedule notice — “moved from [old date] to [new date]” — to everyone on the pour. No new email to write, no one left guessing which day it’s on now.
Who gets notified, and can I control it?
Project contacts (PM, super, supplier, custom roles), the crew lead, and pump/screed leads. A 24-hour rule means the field only gets alerts that actually matter, and there’s a global toggle if you want notifications off. You can also confirm silently when no notice is needed.
Do I have to stop using my spreadsheet / Excel?
No. Plenty of subs keep their spreadsheet for the first couple weeks and use Planning Ops just for cancellations. Run them side by side. Most people move the schedule over on their own once they see the board update itself — there’s no deadline and no migration project.
How long does it take to get started?
Minutes, not a rollout. Add one pour, add its contacts, and you can send a real notification the same day. No training class, no consultant, no IT.
What if my crew won't use new software?
They don’t have to learn anything. The crew and your GCs are free, read-only viewers — they keep getting the same emails and PDFs they get now. The only person who changes a habit is whoever runs the schedule.
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 in-app from Control Panel ▸ Billing within the first 14 days and you will not be billed.
How does seat-based pricing work?
You pay for your office, not your crew. A working seat is anyone who edits the plan. The $199/mo base includes 3 working seats; add more for a flat $40/seat. Viewers are free and unlimited with read-only access. Projects and offices are unlimited too.
Your next pour change — one click, everyone knows.
