What the Project Is
THE ON-SITE TRUTH, CAPTURED IN SECONDS – Qflow captures real-time data on materials, waste, utilities, and carbon directly from site, the moment it happens. No spreadsheets, no chasing suppliers — just fast, accurate data enriched and analysed by Qflow. By connecting what was planned with what actually arrives and is used on site, Qflow helps teams ensure quality, reduce risk, minimise waste and avoid costly rework or delays. This environmental management platform holistically tracks, monitors, and predicts construction environmental risk, giving the construction industry the tools it needs to truly understand what’s going into the buildings we create… protecting the people who will use them, safeguarding the environment, and helping teams build better, faster, and more efficiently.
Main Benefit
Key figures and facts that drive this solution forward include:
- No spreadsheets, no chasing suppliers – data is captured directly on-site in seconds.
- Real-time records of every single delivery, ensuring the right materials are on location.
- Analytics that reduce the risk of errors, rework, and delays, maintaining quality at every step.
- Compliance support for industry standards such as BREEAM and LEED, along with comprehensive carbon reporting data.
- A detailed audit chain that supports the ‘Golden Thread of Data’ for future circular economy initiatives.
Real Time On-Site Insights
The platform is all about real-time on-site insights – capturing the truth on materials, waste, utilities, and carbon in seconds. It logs, digitises, and audits every single delivery as it arrives, which is crucial for general contractors who need to know if the right materials are on-site, while also ensuring developers have a clear view of what is being used on-site. With Qflow, quality control issues can be identified before they escalate; materials errors are caught before installations proceed, reducing risk and avoiding delays. There’s that casual reassurance in knowing that, from plans to reality, every delivery and disposal is tracked, all in one place.
Streamlined Reporting
Streamlined reporting is at the heart of the Qflow solution. The platform automates data capture at source with no manual input, making digitisation and reporting a breeze. Its API integration connects your data directly to other systems like Power BI or Smartwaste, offering hassle-free reporting on the fly. This constant stream of data not only supports timely and efficient payment reconciliation but also ensures that what was initially planned is indeed what is being built, maintaining that much-needed “Golden Thread” of continuous, accountable data.
Quick to Deploy and User Friendly
Qflow is designed for speed and simplicity. It is easy to deploy with less than 30 minutes of training required. The user-friendly design means that anyone on site can immediately pick it up without the need for extensive training. Having been developed with real on-site experiences in mind, the tool fits seamlessly into existing processes without disrupting workflows. There is no hardware to install, no significant changes to daily operations – just a quick login and everything is up and running. This streamlined deployment supports continued efficiency by eliminating unnecessary downtime.
Quality, Compliance, and Supply Chain Health
The comprehensive solution ensures that every process from material delivery to waste and utility management is monitored, enabling a transparent supply chain through accessible, transferable data and clear, accountable audit chains. Mistakes that could lead to litigation, rework, or delays are kept at bay thanks to in-built quality controls. This built-in diligence provides a safe and compliant service delivery that speeds up payment reconciliation while also building healthier relationships with suppliers. It’s a proactive step in ensuring that the supply chain remains robust, reliable, and fully compliant with industry standards.
