As trade show season ramps up, it’s the right time to ask: what is Versatile today?
Versatile gives steel erectors and general contractors control of their jobsite by turning crane activity into clear, automated data. The AI-powered sensor mounts to the crane hook and captures every lift. That data becomes insight you can act on, helping your team coordinate faster, eliminate manual reporting, and lead with confidence.
There are no workflow changes or added steps. Just set it, take control, and keep building.
The crews that succeed are skilled AND informed. They track progress, plan around risks, and adjust before small problems turn into costly delays. In a business where every move counts, clarity replaces guesswork and it shows in Versatile's Daily Catch up. View the short video for more.
Data centers, for example, are pushing construction teams to build faster and with greater precision. Versatile provides automated crane data and progress visibility to help steel erectors and general contractors meet tight timelines, improve coordination, and protect profit margins on these high-stakes projects.
Schedules look solid on paper. But in the field, conditions shift constantly.
A delivery runs late. Weather slows progress. A column is staged wrong.
One missed step can stall an entire sequence. Multiply that across a week and you lose days that never appear in the master schedule. Those invisible delays eat profit.
Versatile automates the process. Each lift is logged, analyzed, and tied to your project plan. Project managers can see what has been installed, what remains, and how long each sequence took. They can make fast, confident decisions based on verified data, not memory or guesswork.
The crane drives productivity. Every idle hour costs money twice. First in wasted time, then in downstream delays.
Idle cranes often signal poor sequencing or staging. Versatile identifies those breakdowns early so the team can adjust before production slips.
Customers report a 27% reduction in crane idle time, showing the impact of using verified crane utilization data to guide planning.
This walkthrough shows how Track captures:
Sequencing determines profit. When steel arrives and is staged in the correct order, everything flows. When it isn’t, rework and wasted motion take over.
Versatile gives you visibility as the project evolves. You can see which sequence is active, how far along it is, and how it compares to plan.
Crews using Versatile have improved sequence duration by 1 to 3 days and saved an average of 131 labor hours per sequence without sacrificing safety or quality.
You cannot control weather, design changes, or late deliveries. But you can control how you respond. Versatile captures lift data, connects it to your schedule, and gives you a single view of project progress.
You can:
The platform runs quietly in the background. Crews keep working as usual while Versatile collects and organizes data automatically.
Versatile was designed for the way field crews already work. It requires no extra effort and integrates into existing processes.
Customers describe it best:
"We didn’t change our workflow, we just started seeing everything more clearly." George Bishay, Project Manager, SME Steel
"It saves a ton of time and gives me easy access to the precise information I need to solve the problem." Shawn Kittle, Sr. Project Manager, Red Cedar Steel
Steel erection is too important to run on instinct. With Versatile you get:
Every project faces challenges. The difference is how fast you see them and how quickly you respond.
If you work in steel erection, you know the stakes.
The crane is too valuable to sit still. The schedule is too critical to guess at.
