A new digital tool designed to streamline scaffolding operations will be unveiled in Manchester later this week.
Software firm Avontus is set to launch ScaffoldIQ at the ScaffEx trade show on Thursday. The app is aimed at tackling common challenges on construction sites such as miscommunication, misplaced paperwork, and delays.
The platform offers features including digital handover forms, inspection tracking with photo uploads, and real-time scaffold status updates. Safety documents such as risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) can also be stored and accessed instantly.
Workers on site will be able to scan QR codes to view details of a scaffold structure, while office staff can track progress through the app’s cloud-based system. Avontus says the tool is designed to speed up communication, cut down on errors, and improve compliance.
The company will be demonstrating the software throughout the two-day event, with visitors invited to see it in action and enter a prize draw.
ScaffEx, which runs in Manchester on 11–12 September, is one of the scaffolding industry’s largest exhibitions, showcasing new products, services and innovations from companies across the sector.
