Ako for Operations

Aisha runs six construction sites at Rowan Build.

She told Ako: the team will message you updates. Track them against the plan and tell me the moment something critical slips.

All day, Ako turns those messages into progress against each plan. It built Aisha this dashboard to see every site at a glance and approve the chases it drafts.

This is one example of Ako on the tools in operations. Here's a day across the sites.

Needs you3

Ako drafted these. Approve and it sends or updates the plan.

Chase the Oakfield concrete sub

The slab pour is two days late and it's blocking first-fix. Ako drafted a message asking for a revised date.

Sends on WhatsApp
Decide: reslot the Maple inspection

The inspector can't make Thursday. Ako found two slots that keep the trades in the right order.

Updates the plan
Chase Brookline for the steel date

No confirmed delivery date for the steel, and the frame can't start without it. Ako drafted the ask.

Dev (site)Voice note: slab isn't going down till Thursday, the rebar inspection got pushed.
AkoGot it. Logged against Oakfield. That's a two-day slip on the critical path, so I flagged it and drafted a chase to the concrete sub. It's in your queue.

Aisha's dashboard, built by Ako. A live preview with sample data, so approve a chase and watch it go.

Holds each project plan

Updates by direct message

Each site lead messages Ako's number directly, voice notes and photos included. Ako doesn't sit in a group chat.

Tracking is automatic

Ako structures every update against the plan and keeps progress current. That part it just does.

You stay in control

Ako drafts the chases and flags what's critical. Nothing goes out to a subcontractor until you approve.

What Ako does, all day

It tracks every site so nothing slips quietly.

01

Takes the updates

Reads every WhatsApp update as it lands, voice notes and photos included, with no status form for the team to fill in.

02

Tracks against the plan

Every site, every task, where it should be and where it actually is. The plan stays current within minutes.

03

Flags what's critical

A slip on the critical path, a trade left waiting, an inspection that didn't happen. Ako surfaces it before it costs you.

04

You stay in control

Ako drafts the chases and the action items. Anything that reaches a subcontractor waits for your approval.

Sites are just the start.

The same teammate can take on the rest of your operations.

Procurement chasing

Ako as your buyer, tracking every order and delivery and chasing whatever runs late.

Compliance & sign-offs

Ako as your coordinator, keeping certificates and inspections on schedule and nothing expired.

Recurring reporting

Ako as your reporter, assembling and sending the weekly programme update before anyone asks.

Put Ako on your projects.

Point it at your plans and let the team message it updates. It tracks every site and waits for your yes.
