Steel erectors win on reputation. Now you can back it up, pick by pick.

Yes. With Steel Tracker, your team scans each BOL as a delivery arrives, and every piece is matched to its piece mark in your model. At any point, you can see which pieces are erected, which are on site and ready to install, what’s running low, and what’s missing.

The device below the hook captures data on every pick, including weight, location, time and images. That means you see all your crane activity, including non-steel picks. For steel, Versatile automatically matches that data against your model and the sequence you’re working on, so you can see exactly which piece went up, where and when, with zero manual input.

Versatile tracks your production pace on every job, including pieces erected per day, tonnage and crane days by sequence. When you bid on a similar job, you can look back at how a comparable project actually went and back your experience with real numbers.

Versatile gives you an objective, time-stamped record of the work put in place. Steel erectors use this data in several ways, depending on what matters most on the job:

• When a back charge comes in, you can pull up exactly what was erected and when, and use it to hold your ground.
• When your crew is left standing by, the record shows exactly how long they waited, with the duration and images to back it up.
• When installations run slower than usual, you can spot it early and adjust your sequence before small slips add up.
• When one crew or area of the job is moving faster than another, you can compare their pace and figure out what’s working well.

Manual note-taking is slower, prone to mistakes, and can’t cover every single pick, which makes it easy to question in a dispute. Versatile automatically captures every pick with its timestamp, weight, images, exact piece mark, location and weather, so the record is complete and objective. That frees your people to focus on the work that needs their experience.

Plan for 2–3 weeks from contract to go-live, so the earlier you reach out, the better. All you need to share is your fabrication model and erection sequence. We ship the device ready to go, your certified rigger puts it on the hook in seconds, and you get your first daily report the next morning. A dedicated account manager joins you on site for go-live and helps you get the most out of the data from day one.

Tekla is software: it holds your model and project data and relies on manual data entry.

Versatile is a hardware+software solution designed for field operations: our device collects data automatically from below the crane hook and our software turns it into an objective record of the work put in place that you can easily view and analyze.
