Structure and Implement Decisions Digitally: Clear Workflows Instead of Sprawling Email Chains

poolarPROJECT Decision Management

More Overview, Less Email Chaos

In the poolarPROJECT project space, many processes come together on one platform – the decision management module forms a building block for optimised decision-making, e.g. for planning specifications, planning changes, sampling and execution changes. All relevant steps from the preparation of the application to the final decision are presented in a structured manner in the digitally mapped decision-making process.

Integrated workflows, automated notifications and a seamless history function reduce email chains, fragmentation and media disruptions. This enables a smooth flow of information, which simplifies collaboration between project participants and fully documents all processes in the project space.

Concept

Structuring Decision-Making Processes With Defined Workflows

Traceable Decision-Making Processes

Clear allocation of roles: Planners request changes, client / project manager decides. Fixed statuses, deadlines and responsibilities make all steps transparent and minimise queries – without shifting decision-making authority.

Change requests with cost and time effects at a glance at all times – particularly valuable in the event of possible differences.

Workflows and
Automation

Defined workflows structure the entire process from the creation of the application to the assignment of relevant project participants and the final decision.

Automated notifications and approvals make it easier to switch between process steps with a clear sequence and deadline display.

The automatically generated tasks support a smoother process.

Transparency and
Traceability

Tables and detailed views show the current processing step at a glance.

Colour-coded phases symbolise the current status and a history function documents all content changes.

Clear and fast tracking of decisions that have been made and those that are still open supports project management and ensures quality.

Recording and Documentation

Create Decisions and Process Them in a Structured Workflow

The change request to be decided is initially created in the individual entry. This is where all relevant information is collated and precisely prepared – the basis for all subsequent steps:

Centralised data collection

All important details and attachments are recorded in one place so that the basis for decision-making is complete and clear.

User-friendly input mask
A user-friendly interface enables the structured and consistent recording of different data via input fields for text, date, files as attachments and selection lists with project participants.

Efficient preparation
Complete application data forms the solid basis for subsequent processing and coordination steps in the decision-making process.

The change request can be assigned to the planners involved from affected areas and to the project management for comments before the client is asked to make a decision.

Structured statements
Specialist planners, project managers and other parties involved record their feedback in a standardised format.

Efficient coordination
Timely feedback processes ensure a smooth flow of information and support consolidated decision-making.

The feedback from the previous process steps is collated in order to create a traceable, reliable basis for the final decision:

Final authorisation
The client, his project management, or an authorised decision-making body, issues the final approval or rejects the proposal.

Automatic logging
The result is stored in the project space, is clearly visible to all participants and can be called up at any time.

Transparency

How Decision Management is Integrated Into the Dashboard

Decision Templates as Tasks

The central dashboard ensures greater transparency and structures all tasks and topics from the “Decision management” module on the start page in the project space. The clear visualisation of relevant information helps all project participants to maintain an overview at all times:

View With Timeline
The view depends on the login: Your own tasks appear in the “To do” area, while the tasks of others are also automatically listed in the dashboard for project participants with extended rights – so responsibilities are directly visible.

Fast Navigation
Important entries, deadlines and responsibilities can be found via practical sections and status displays and processed quickly via direct links to the respective decision requests.

Targeted Cooperation
Thanks to the direct link to the decision-making processes, comments, assignments and final approvals are seamlessly integrated into the dashboard.

Basic Modules

The digital Workspace, with its structured Plan and File Storage, forms the centerpiece of collaboration in construction projects between all project participants. The Workspace follows the principle of a Common Data Environment (CDE) – a centralized platform for project-related information.

Go to Workspace with Plan and File Storage

Digital, transparent, and structured review of plans, either directly in the online editor or via your own PDF files, including task and deadline tracking.

Go to Planning Review

Efficient creation, linking, and tracking of meeting items and tasks with specific areas for different types of minutes.

Go to Meeting Minutes

Centralized collection of open and finalized decisions. The module ensures transparency of responsibilities and enables clear workflows instead of sprawling email chains across multiple approval levels.

Go to Decision Management

Additional Modules

Digital review, commenting, and approval of invoices, change orders, and hourly work in structured steps – with clear status indicators, deadline tracking, and complete documentation of the approval processes.

Go to Invoice Workflow

Issue Manager according to BCF standards: Distribution, organization, and evaluation of BCF issues directly in the 3D model – regardless of the BIM software used.

Go to BCF Issue Management

Centralized collection, structuring, and maintenance of space-related information—including technical requirements, equipment features, and other project-specific parameters that can be freely configured.

Go to Room Book

Construction Site Tools

Recording, locating, and processing defects directly on the construction site—including photos, status tracking, and notification of the responsible trades.

Go to Defect Management

Centralized, cross-trade documentation of construction progress – mobile recording and audit-proof storage, including weather data, photo documentation, and automated PDF reports.

Go to Construction Diary

Capture, tag, and manage photos—with a structured image database and powerful search and filter logic.

Go to Photo App with Image Database

In addition to the browser version, some modules are also optimized for mobile use in the app of the same name, poolarPROJECT.
