How Cascade works
Last updated:
Cascade is a text message daily report app for construction. Superintendents, foremen and subs text their day to one number. Cascade's AI turns those texts into a daily report, texts back for anything missing, and gives the office a sealed record for every job and every day. Nobody in the field downloads an app, and subs use it free. Cascade customers see 95%+ sub daily report compliance.
The three steps
- Text in. Crews send the day's workers, hours, work performed, delays and safety notes, and attach photos, all in plain words.
- Cascade builds the daily report. Replies are organized into a clean daily report with weather and timestamps, and Cascade follows up on anything missing.
- The office gets the record. The general contractor's team reviews reporting across jobsites and pulls sealed reports from the project history. You can also ask plain-English questions across every report.
Getting started as a general contractor
- Request Access at cascadetechnology.ai/get-access and tell us about your jobsites.
- We talk through your jobs and your current reporting process, then plan onboarding and a one-month pilot with you. Onboarding and integration are free, and there is no contract lock-in.
- Your team invites superintendents, foremen and subs to each job. They confirm their mobile number and agree to receive texts.
- The field starts texting, and Cascade builds the daily reports.
Most teams are set up in days.
What Cascade records
Daily reports, manpower and hours by sub, work performed, delays, photos, toolbox talks, pre-task plans (JHA), safety incidents and corrective actions. Each closed-out daily report PDF is sealed so any later change can be detected.
What it costs
Subs are always free. The general contractor's company has the plan, and Cascade will beat Raken's prices, guaranteed. See current numbers on our cost page.
