Build a Submittal Tracker App with Glide

A Glide submittal tracker app gives construction project teams a structured system for managing the submittal review process — with submittal log, routing, review status, and resubmittal tracking — replacing the email chain and spreadsheet combination that loses submittals between reviewers and makes it impossible to know which items are holding up procurement and construction. GlideApps Agency builds submittal management tools for GCs, owners, and construction managers who know that submittal delays are a leading driver of construction schedule impacts and that their current process doesn't provide the visibility needed to prevent them. We build systems that keep submittals moving.

What does building a Submittal Tracker app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your Submittal Tracker app

Submittal Log and Master Register

Maintain a complete submittal register for the project with submittal number, specification section, responsible contractor, review status, and revision history — giving the construction manager the authoritative submittal record rather than a spreadsheet that may or may not be current.

Review Routing and Due Date Management

Route submittals to the responsible design discipline with configurable review periods, automated reminder notifications, and escalation alerts when submittals approach or exceed the contractual review deadline — managing the design team's responsiveness rather than hoping for it.

Action Code Tracking and Resubmittal Workflow

Process review responses with standard action codes — Approved, Approved as Noted, Revise and Resubmit, Rejected — and automatically generate resubmittal requirements for revise-and-resubmit responses, tracking revision cycles to final approval.

Procurement Impact and Schedule Integration

Link critical submittals to procurement schedules and installation activities so construction managers can see which pending submittals are blocking material procurement or construction activities — prioritizing reviewer attention on the items that matter to the schedule.

Who uses a Submittal Tracker app?

+Replace the email-based submittal process with a structured routing app that assigns review deadlines to each design discipline, sends automated reminders for overdue reviews, and escalates to the construction manager when contractual review periods are exceeded
+Give the construction manager a complete submittal log that shows review status, action codes, and pending resubmittals for every specification section — so procurement and installation can be scheduled around actual submittal approval status
+Track the procurement impact of pending submittals by linking critical submittals to material lead times and installation activities — making the schedule consequences of submittal delays visible before they appear on the delay log

How much does a Submittal Tracker app cost?

Projects start at $15,000 for internal business apps. Most clients invest $40,000–$80,000 annually across development, iteration, and support.

The Glide Sprint Process

How we build your Submittal Tracker app

01

Discovery

Requirements, data modeling, and platform-fit assessment. We define scope before writing a line of logic.

02

Architecture

Data structure, security model, integration map, and user roles. The blueprint that prevents rework.

03

Build

Iterative development with weekly demos. You see progress, not just status updates.

04

QA & Launch

Cross-device testing, user acceptance, and production deployment with rollback safety.

05

Support

Ongoing maintenance, feature iterations, and scaling support. We don't disappear after launch.

Frequently asked questions about Submittal Tracker apps

How does the submittal tracker connect to our construction project management system?+
We connect Glide submittal trackers with Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and similar platforms via API — keeping the submittal log synchronized with the project management system used by the broader team.
Can subcontractors submit directly through the app?+
Yes. We build subcontractor submission portals where subs upload submittals, track review status on their items, and receive notification of review responses — without accessing the full project management data.
How does the app handle submittals that require multiple parallel reviewers?+
We build parallel review routing where submittals requiring review by multiple disciplines are routed simultaneously — with individual review responses combined before an overall action code is assigned.
Can the app generate AIA-format submittal log reports?+
Yes. We build standard construction industry report formats — including AIA and CSI-formatted submittal logs — that can be generated from the app data for owner reporting, lender requirements, and closeout documentation.
What does a submittal tracker app cost?+
Submittal tracker apps typically run $14,000–$25,000 depending on project complexity, subcontractor portal requirements, construction management system integration, and procurement impact tracking features.
