Platform
Everything You Need to Manage Retail Rollouts
Purpose-built modules, agentic enablement via MCP, and a tenant-isolated architecture, all in one platform designed specifically for multi-site retail construction and store development.
Platform Modules
Purpose-Built Modules. One Platform.
Every module is purpose-built for retail construction teams and works seamlessly together.
Project Management
Critical-path project schedule built into the platform that already runs the project, with four CPM dependency types, live ripple recalculation, and an append-only change log on every save.
- Gantt with Day, Week, Month, and Quarter scales and a computed today line
- FS, SS, FF, and SF dependencies with signed lag, plus near-critical-band float
- Inline preview of every downstream shift before you commit
- Forward or backward recalculation from the project's target opening date
Budget Management
A governed cost baseline for every store project. Build it from a reusable template, lock it with approvals, and change it only through routed, fully versioned revisions.
- Reusable budget templates
- Approval routing by change size
- Immutable, versioned baselines
- Contingency reserves with drawdown
Punch List Management
Capture punch and action items on the deliverables they belong to, assign them with a priority and due date, and close them out with a full audit trail. Every open item rolls up to the responsible person's inbox across the whole portfolio.
- Items captured on the deliverable, with assignee, priority, and due date
- Status workflow with a tenant-customizable status catalog and audit trail
- Personal inbox rolling up every open item across all projects, sorted by due date
- External partners see and close the items assigned to them, scoped by company role
Document Management
All your project documents in one searchable, version-controlled repository. Contracts, specs, closeout packages, and everything attached to a project, location, or RFI.
- Polymorphic file attachment to every entity that needs it
- On-demand previews and bundled downloads
- Customer-controlled share links with expiry and access caps
- Append-only audit trail on every upload, download, and share
Drawings
Upload the architect's multi-page PDF; we split it into individual sheets, read each title block, and publish a clean per-sheet library with full version history. The current set is one click away from a compiled PDF.
- Multi-page PDF upload with automatic per-sheet split and OCR'd title-block tagging
- Per-sheet version history with automatic supersession across re-issuances
- NCS-weighted discipline ordering across lists and the compiled set
- Compile current state to a single PDF in one click
Vendor Management
Keep every outside firm and the people inside them in one directory you reuse across projects. Assigning a company a role on a project gives its team scoped access automatically, and pulls that access the day they come off.
- Single directory of companies and contacts, searchable and reused across the platform
- Company role assignments that grant external partners scoped project access
- Vendor blackout so sensitive fields stay hidden from external company users
- Audit trail on every assignment, with access revoked the day a firm is removed
Reporting & Analytics
See the health of every active project in one place. A portfolio view rolls up status, schedule health, and key dates so leadership can spot risk without chasing weekly status decks.
- Portfolio dashboard across every active project
- Schedule-health roll-ups (on-track, at-risk, behind) by project
- Key-date and opening-countdown visibility across the portfolio
- Drill from the portfolio view straight into any project's detail
RFI Management
Structured Requests for Information with three-axis classification (Category, Reason, Root Cause), an explicit official answer, vendor-safe visibility, and a litigation-grade audit trail. Built for the $1,080-to-$3,000-per-RFI cost burden multisite operators carry.
- Three-axis classification: Category x Reason x Root Cause
- Per-project auto-numbering with the official-answer badge on the binding comment
- Vendor blackout on Root Cause, with CSV export honouring visibility scope
- Closed-RFI comment lock with administrator reopen and a recorded reason
Multi-Channel Notifications
Right person, right channel, right time. Notifications reach people by email and in-app today, with per-user preferences and event-driven routing. SMS, Slack, and push are on the roadmap.
- Email and in-app delivery, with SMS, Slack, and push on the roadmap
- Per-user notification preferences
- Category and priority routing rules
- Event-driven (RFI mentions, status changes, file shares)
Meetings
Run OAC and coordination meetings on the project record. Per-project numbering, decisions log with supersession, action items as first-class Tasks, carryover from prior meetings, and an audit-logged published record.
- Per-project numbering (MEET-1, MEET-14) with a tenant-configurable prefix
- Tenant-curated meeting types with agenda templates that pre-fill notes
- Decisions log with bidirectional supersession across meetings
- Action items become first-class Tasks, with carryover surfacing stalled items
Agentic Enablement
Built for the AI Stack You Already Use
We are not in the business of selling you another LLM. We are in the business of making your construction data structured, accessible, and agent-ready, so your team builds the workflows it actually needs on the AI stack of its choice.
MCP Server for Custom Agents
RolloutIQ ships a Model Context Protocol server for your construction data. Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-aware agent with secure customer-managed tokens. Build the AI workflows your team actually needs, on the stack you already use.
Structured Project Data
Drawing sets, schedules, budgets, RFIs, companies, and tasks all live as typed, queryable entities. Clean structured data is the prerequisite for any meaningful agentic capability your team builds on top.
Open REST API
Every project entity is available via REST with the same RBAC that guards the UI, reached with customer-managed tokens. Build custom dashboards, feed data into your warehouse, or trigger downstream agents and automations.
Tenant-Isolated by Architecture
Separate PostgreSQL database per tenant. Cross-tenant data leaks are structurally impossible, not a policy guarantee. Audit logs are append-only and tracked with timestamp, IP, user agent, and change delta. The data your agents read is the data your enterprise security team will sign off on.
Industry-Wide Headwinds
The Universal Headwinds Every Multisite Operator Faces
Beneath segment-specific complexity, the same handful of risks repeat across every retail, hospitality, healthcare, and infrastructure rollout. RolloutIQ surfaces them at the portfolio level so you can act on them before they cost an opening date.
Long-Lead MEP Procurement
Rooftop HVAC at 16 to 20 weeks. Electrical switchgear averaging 44 weeks. Custom hoods at 12 to 20 weeks. Refrigeration at 8 to 16 weeks. Mature operators pre-procure 18 to 24 months ahead of lease execution. Portfolio inventory visibility is now table stakes.
Entitlement & Variance Gating
When use is not by-right (drive-thru in pedestrian district, late-night operation in residential, alcohol near school), discretionary entitlement adds 3 to 9 months. Community opposition is a real kill risk that you need to flag at the deal stage, not at construction start.
Landlord Delivery Risk
Delivery-condition mismatches, late landlord work, and stalled TI draw cycles are the most-cited cause of retail schedule slip. Tracking demised-premises condition, deemed-approval triggers, and TI draw timing is the single highest-leverage portfolio activity.
Permit Multiplicity & Jurisdictional Variance
Building, fire, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, health, signage, grease, hood, and liquor permits each run on different timelines (2 to 8 weeks each). LA, NYC, and SF widen ranges 2 to 3x versus suburban markets. Location-aware permit templates are essential.
Inspection Sequencing & AHJ Sign-Off
Health, fire, mechanical, and final electrical inspections do not run in parallel. Missed sequencing costs 2 to 3 weeks per project. Automating inspection coordination, mapping AHJ dependencies, and triggering only when prerequisites are met removes the most preventable schedule friction.
Stocking Float & Final 20 Percent
The last 20 to 30 percent of construction overlaps IT commissioning, fixture install, and merchandising. Coordination chaos in this window kills opening dates. Visualizing the buffer between substantial completion and grand opening lets PMs spot bottlenecks weeks in advance, not days.
