Versatile
Versatile makes crane intelligence technology: an AI-powered sensor under the crane hook that records every pick and turns lift data into production, logistics, and progress reports.
Definition
Versatile is a construction technology company, led by CEO Meirav Oren, whose CraneView device mounts below the hook on any crane and captures thousands of data points per pick cycle. Its AI turns that sensor data into automated daily reports on crane utilization, hook time by trade, cycle times, idle time, and installed piece counts, along with alerts such as no-fly zone infractions. Steel erectors and general contractors use it to track planned and completed erection sequences, spot outliers and double handling, coordinate deliveries, and support change orders and delay claims with time-stamped records, including correlating weather with crane activity. Installed data can be exported to Procore, Trimble Connect, and Autodesk Forma, and the Procore integration sends daily piece counts and crane time by subcontractor to the Daily Log with one click. CraneView devices come in 20-ton, 45-ton, and 55-ton capacity versions. Customer case studies include Gilbane and Turner projects. Pricing is by subscription and quoted by the vendor.
In Depth
On a steel or precast job, the crane is the pacing resource, and most teams manage it with a whiteboard, a lift log, and the operator's memory. Versatile puts a sensor between the hook and the load and records every pick: when it started, how long rigging took, how long the load was in the air, and how long the hook sat idle. The daily report that comes out the next morning shows production by sequence and hook time by trade without anyone keeping a manual log.
That data answers practical questions. Superintendents see which picks are outliers and whether deliveries are causing double handling. Project managers split crane time fairly across subcontractors for back-charges. When weather or a late delivery costs a day, the time-stamped record supports the claim. Exports to Procore, Trimble Connect, and Autodesk Forma put installed quantities where progress is already tracked.
Versatile is jobsite hardware plus analytics, so evaluation happens on a live crane. Teams should involve the crane operator and rigging foreman early, confirm the device capacity matches the heaviest picks, and decide which reports go to the field versus the office.

Examples
A steel erector reviews daily CraneView reports to see which sequence ran long and why, then adjusts rigging crews for the next floor
A GC sends crane hook time by subcontractor into the Procore Daily Log to back up crane back-charges
A project team uses time-stamped pick records and weather data to document lost crane time for a delay claim
