Planning Ops vs Ruh AI

Planning Ops is an operations app for concrete subcontractors, combining pour scheduling, crew planning, project schedules, and daily reports. Place & Finish provides a drag-and-drop pour board with live project weather, conflict alerts, automatic quantity totals, and one-click notifications. Manpower includes a 52-week crew board, timeline and job views, roster and PTO tracking, projections, time and certification tracking, and payroll export presets for ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, Gusto, Paylocity, Sage, Vista, and Foundation, plus Excel and Universal CSV. Daily Reports creates signed, numbered field reports with safety details, delays, and photos; submitted hours go to time tracking. Users can confirm, reschedule, or cancel pours and notify project, crew, ready-mix, pump, and subcontractor contacts. The platform costs $149 a month, billed monthly or annually, with three working seats included and extra seats at $20/mo. It has an iPhone and iPad app requiring iOS 15.0 or later. There is no Android app, though the workspace can be accessed in a browser on Android and desktop. Customer data is isolated using Postgres row-level security. The maker lists Charleston, South Carolina as its location.

Ruh AI describes itself as an AI construction workforce for takeoffs and estimating, invoice intelligence, and bid-pipeline outreach. Its Takeoff Agent reads drawing PDFs and CAD files and returns quantities with per-item confidence and page coverage scores. The estimating process prices gaps as labeled allowances and exports results to a customer's workbook and proposal templates; an estimator reviews and signs each line before a bid goes out. The Invoice Agent reads subcontractor and supplier invoices, matches them to commitments and cost codes, and flags mismatches. Named integrations include Procore, Bluebeam, Autodesk, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, QuickBooks, JD Edwards, Trimble, Revit, Excel, and Oracle Primavera. Ruh says it runs in the customer's tenant on the customer's AI license, without data egress or training on customer data. Teams typically go live in about a week after configuration. Pricing is on request, and a free 30-minute walkthrough is offered with no card required.
