Member Details:
Gather (formerly RailDiary) is site records software for rail infrastructure. It combines a mobile app for site teams with a web platform for the office, and was founded in Manchester by a chartered quantity surveyor with a rail delivery background.
Who we work with:
Asset owners, Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors and specialist subcontractors across rail, highways and utilities, from station refurbishments and possession works to telecoms installations and maintenance frameworks.
What the software does:
Every shift, site teams use the app to record labour, plant, possessions, weather, photos and narratives. The platform turns this into one structured, searchable record, so site, commercial, planning and client teams work from the same facts.
Why it matters:
Possession use, progress, workforce and fatigue compliance are visible as the work happens. Change under NEC, JCT and FIDIC is managed using records made at the time, so early warnings are raised sooner and compensation events are agreed faster.
Built in AI tools let users question their data in plain English and produce reports, registers and as built programmes in minutes.
The result is clearer communication, fewer disputes and better value from every possession.
