Industries

Built for construction
and engineering.

Construction and engineering businesses carry the same weight of admin: job sheets filled in twice, approvals waiting on a signature, reports rebuilt by hand every week. Below is where my services fit each sector, and the related floors these systems came from.

The common ground

Different sectors, one operating reality.

Shift-based work

Night, day and back shifts, with handovers that have to carry context across, not lose it on a clipboard.

Paper everywhere

Clipboards, binders and spreadsheets that get lost, soaked, or never leave the trailer or the cabinet.

Sign-offs that must hold up

Approvals, audits and traces that have to be signed, current and findable the moment someone asks.

No reliable signal

Dead zones, basements and remote sites. The software cannot assume Wi-Fi, so mine never does.

Where it fits

Primary sectors.

Each one starts from work already running in production, reshaped around how your business actually operates.

01

Construction

Site approvals, job sheets, plant and asset tracking, project profitability. The admin is split between a site with no signal and an office rebuilding the same spreadsheet every week.
See the services that fit

What it looks like today

  • Job sheets filled in on paper on site, then typed up again in the office by someone who was not there.
  • Invoices and variations waiting days for a signature because the approver is on a site, not at a desk.
  • Plant and equipment tracked in a spreadsheet, so nobody is certain what is on which site or when it was last inspected.
  • Project profitability that only becomes clear after the job has finished and it is too late to act.

What I would build

  • Offline-first job sheets and site logs captured once on a phone or tablet, which keep working in a dead zone and sync the moment signal returns.
  • Approvals that route themselves for invoices, variations and permits, signed on a phone with a full audit trail behind every one.
  • Asset and plant tracking with location, inspection dates and certificates in one place, findable in a single search.
  • A live project profitability dashboard, so margin is visible while the job is still running.

02

Engineering

Invoice processing, engineer utilisation, quality inspections, internal portals. Skilled people spending billable hours on paperwork that could route itself.
See the services that fit

What it looks like today

  • Supplier invoices read and re-typed by hand, one at a time, into a system that already holds the order.
  • No clear view of engineer utilisation until someone builds the report, by which point the week is gone.
  • Quality inspections recorded on paper forms that are scanned and filed, then never searched again.
  • Information scattered across shared drives, inboxes and a spreadsheet only one person understands.

What I would build

  • Automated invoice processing that reads the document, checks it against the order, and only escalates what does not match.
  • An engineer utilisation dashboard refreshing on its own, showing chargeable time and where capacity actually sits.
  • Digital quality inspections with photos, timestamps and sign-off, searchable the moment they are submitted.
  • An internal portal that puts jobs, documents and status in one place, instead of four.

Related sectors

Where these systems started.

The operational systems came out of manufacturing, and they transfer straight across to any floor that runs on shifts, paper and sign-offs.

03

Warehousing & logistics

Stock accuracy, inbound and outbound tracking, shift handovers. Cut-off times rule the day: a pick missed before the carrier sweep ships tomorrow, not tonight.
Open the Stock Accuracy demo

On the floor today

  • Inventory accuracy is the whole game. Receive the wrong quantity inbound and you cannot fulfil the orders that depend on it.
  • Inbound and outbound collide at the dock. Trucks arrive unannounced, coordinators scramble for doors, carriers sit racking up detention.
  • Shift handovers between receiving and shipping lose context the moment a clipboard changes hands.

What I would build

  • Daily variance monitoring that snapshots every SKU, flags drift by percentage and £ impact, and surfaces the counts that actually matter first.
  • Tablet capture for receipts and picks, validated against the order so wrong quantities are caught at the dock, not at month end.
  • A live door board and signed handover that carries the open issues straight across to the next crew.
Stock variance Inbound / outbound capture Dock & door status Signed handovers ERP / SAP sync
04

Food & beverage production

Temperature logs, batch records, compliance sign-offs. An out-of-range CCP is not a data point, it is a hold on the whole batch until someone qualified signs it off.
Open the Lost Hours demo

On the floor today

  • Temperature logs, batch records and sign-offs live in paper binders. Slow to fill, easy to get wrong, and hard to defend when an auditor or a recall lands.
  • FSMA 204, HACCP, BRCGS and SQF all expect a full trace pulled within hours, not days.
  • Records get written up after the shift, from memory, instead of as the work happens.

What I would build

  • Electronic batch and CCP logging captured at the line, where an out-of-range temperature prompts the corrective action there and then.
  • Signed, traceable approvals, the same digital sign-off workflow I built to retire paper clipboards in manufacturing.
  • One search to trace a lot end to end for a mock recall, audit-ready with timestamps and operator names attached.

Utilities & water treatment

Shift logs, equipment checks, incident reporting. A regulatory sample missed in its window is a reportable failure, not a reschedule.
Open the Shift Report demo

On the floor today

  • Remote sites, below-ground assets and dead zones mean offline capture is the baseline requirement, not an extra.
  • Shift logs, equipment checks and incident reports roll across night, day and back shifts, exactly the rhythm I already build for.
  • Permits to work and confined-space checks have to be signed, current and findable on demand.

What I would build

  • Shift-log rollups in the mould of my downtime tracker: live readings and checks rolled up by shift, with a clean handover report at every changeover.
  • Offline-first equipment checks and incident capture that survive a site with no signal and reconcile centrally when they reconnect.
  • Signed permits and confined-space entries with a full, timestamped trail behind every one.

06

Training compliance & certification tracking

CSCS, IPAF, PASMA, forklift licences, mandatory training. One expired ticket at the gate can stand down a whole crew while the agency scrambles a replacement.
Open the Training Matrix demo

On the floor today

  • Certifications expire silently. A CSCS card, an IPAF or PASMA ticket, a forklift licence or a mandatory refresher lapses, and nobody notices until an auditor or a site gate does.
  • Training records live in spreadsheets and filing cabinets, split across sites, so no one can answer “who is actually qualified to do this, right now” without a round of phone calls.
  • A worker on an expired ticket is a stop-work and a liability the moment something goes wrong.

What I would build

  • A live competency matrix, every worker against every required card, ticket and course, colour-coded current, expiring or expired at a glance, the exact system I built to track workforce compliance in manufacturing.
  • Expiry tracking that surfaces what lapses next, in the coming 30, 60 and 90 days, by person and by site, before the gate or the audit finds it for you.
  • Signed, timestamped evidence, certificate uploads, assessment records and refresher sign-offs, audit-ready and findable in a single search.

Not another SaaS subscription

Shaped around your forms, not a template.

Off-the-shelf platforms make you bend your process to fit their screens. I do the opposite: I learn your actual workflow, keep the field names and steps your team already knows, and deploy it on your hardware, yours to keep.

Offline first

built to keep working through a blackout and sync on reconnect, on every one of these floors.

On premise

deployed on your own servers, with your data staying inside your walls. No lock in.

Direct

designed and written by one engineer. No account managers, no agency overhead in between.
