About TraceGuard

Why TraceGuard Exists: The Dual-Evidence Challenge in Construction & Fabrication

Construction and fabrication teams require rigorous, indisputable evidence for four non-negotiable milestones: Quality inspections, Safety compliance, Client handovers, and Regulatory checks.

The Problem with Fragmented Systems

Current manual documentation chaos

Construction and fabrication businesses currently manage critical project evidence through disconnected, error-prone channels:

  • Paper weld records lost or soiled on the shop floor
  • Phone photographs buried in WhatsApp group chats
  • Spreadsheets disconnected from actual site reality
  • Manual safety documents filed weeks after task completion
  • Verbal site updates with zero audit traceability

Severe Friction Points Caused:

• Client Audits • HSE Inspections • Project Handovers • Defect Investigations

The Connected Reality of SME Supervisors

Quality, Safety, and Labour in a Single Capture

In SME fabrication workshops and construction sites, a supervisor is rarely confined to just one role. On any given project, the same supervisor simultaneously manages welding quality, safety compliance, and labour allocation.

Treating quality and safety as separate software tools creates double the administrative burden. TraceGuard unites both domains into one intuitive mobile interface:

Quality Evidence

Digital weld inspection records, WPS/WPQR references, welder qualifications, and client-ready compliance certification under BS EN ISO 3834.

Safety & Resource Evidence

Site safety documentation, digital RAMS sign-offs, plant & equipment inspection verification, and real-time workforce allocation tracking.

Complete Digital Evidence Chain:
Task → Worker → Location → Date → Compliance Evidence
Leadership & Foundations

Built by Field Practitioners and Commercial Specialists

TraceGuard was conceptualised directly on fabrication shop floors and active construction sites to solve real operational bottlenecks.

Three Interconnected Modules Engineered for Rigorous Site Realities

TraceGuard unites allocation, weld quality inspection, and site safety resourcing into one cohesive operational workflow.

Module 01

SHARED ALLOCATION & CAPTURE CORE

The foundation of TraceGuard where every task receives a digital allocation record connecting worker, task, site, date and evidence.

Core Engine

QR Task Allocation

Create tasks with unique QR-linked identifiers for rapid field scanning and immediate docket recall.

Skill-Based Labour Matching

Match worker skills and qualifications with assigned tasks, preventing unqualified operation before work begins.

RAMS Attachment

Attach Risk Assessment and Method Statements directly to tasks for mandatory worker briefing and verification.

Offline-First Capture

Capture evidence reliably even in deep fabrication basements or remote sites with poor connectivity; syncs automatically.

Digital Sign-Off Chain

Capture immutable approvals sequentially from workers, supervisors, and independent third-party inspectors.

Attendance & Allocation Tracking

Track who worked on what task with exact timestamps and active labour hours for crystal clear audit trails.

Incident and Near-Miss Logging

Record safety events and near-miss occurrences digitally at point-of-incident, triggering immediate supervisor review.

Module 02

QUALITY LANE

"Weld Quality Evidence Management"

A dedicated workflow for coded welding activities, engineered specifically around BS EN ISO 3834 requirements and structural fabrication standards.

Weld Traceability

Weld Evidence Capture

Store high-resolution evidence for each joint:

  • Weld photographs (Macro/Visual)
  • NDT results (MPI, DPI, UT, RT)
  • Welder ID & qualification stamp
  • WPS / WPQR references
  • Welding process information

Compliance Checklists

Support welding quality workflows including comprehensive BS EN ISO 3834 requirements, pre-heat checks, interpass temperatures, and consumable batch controls.

BS EN ISO 3834-2 / EN 1090-2

Defect and Rework Tracking

Complete corrective action loop:

  • Failed welds logging
  • Gouging & correction tracking
  • Mandatory re-inspections
  • Root cause categorization

Automatic Certificate Generation

Generate client-ready compliance certificates and EN 10204 3.1 inspection documentation with a single tap.

Welder Performance Dashboard

Monitor individual and workshop-wide quality metrics to eliminate defects before client delivery:
