  • A log per project

    Every job carries its own submittal log — no shared spreadsheet to untangle.

  • Status workflow

    Submitted → Under Review → Approved, Approved as Noted, Revise & Resubmit, Rejected, or Void.

  • Attachments stay with the job

    Attach any file and it's copied into Submittals/<#>/ in that project's folder.

  • Import, paste, export

    Bring in an existing .xlsx log, paste rows straight from Excel, or export a clean copy.

  • Ask about it in plain English

    Connect Claude or ChatGPT and ask which approvals are holding up orders. See the AI assistant

PO Watcher threads submittals → POs → deliveries together, so an approval that slips never turns into a delivery that's late.

See it in action
Field app

Every crew sees what's arriving on their job.

PO Watcher Field puts each foreman's deliveries on their iPad or phone, for the projects they're assigned to and nothing else, and sends confirmations straight back to the office. Nobody has to call the PM to ask what's on the truck.

In development
  • Only their projects

    Crews are assigned to jobs, and they see those deliveries and nothing else.

  • Today, this week, and what's late

    Delivery windows, vendor, PO and quantities, with backorders and their new dates called out.

  • Where it lands

    Jobsite, yard or warehouse, down to the floor and the site contact read off the PO.

  • Confirm on the spot

    Received or partial, who signed for it, and a photo of the packing slip. The office sees it right away.

  • Submittal status in reach

    Is it approved? Has it been ordered? Answered before anyone has to ask.

Available today

Assign crew members to jobs and they sign in at powatcher.com/team to see those deliveries and POs on any phone. Shared job links let the field confirm what arrived.

AI assistant

Ask your projects anything. Next, let it handle the follow‑up.

Connect PO Watcher to Claude or ChatGPT and ask in plain English what's late, what's waiting on the architect, or what lands this week. It answers from your live log, signed in as you, and only ever sees your company's data.

Live today, read-only
  • Answers from your live data

    POs, deliveries, submittals, the schedule and lead times.

  • The weekly report on request

    Your procurement meeting form, ready to paste into meeting notes.

  • Your sign-in, your company only

    Read-only access, and every question is logged.

In development

Hands-free submittal tracking

  1. The architect's response comes back by email.
  2. Your assistant reads it and updates the submittal in PO Watcher.
  3. Order-by dates and risk flags recalculate.
  4. The field app and next week's report pick it up.

Nothing changes without your OK. Each update is shown to you first and recorded.
