The Non Conformance Software Built for the Front Line

Sitemate’s Non Conformance Software is powered by Dashpivot, and allows site teams to easily log non-conformances at the job site. Storm, Sitemate’s AI agent, can fill out reports with issue details, corrective actions, and even photos, then site supervisors can review, edit, and sign off directly on the form via e-signature.

Why Non Conformance management Is Harder than It Should Be

Documenting non-conformances can take too much time

Workers may need to record defect details, root causes, and photos on the spot, which can lead to rushed or incomplete entries.

Paper-based non-conformance reports can be lost or left incomplete

Paper-based non-conformance reports can go missing, get damaged, or have missing details, leaving quality teams without a reliable record of what went wrong.

Slow resolution of non-conformances stalls progress

Without a clear system to track corrective actions, non-conformances can sit unresolved, holding up work until the issue is addressed.

Unresolved non-conformances may lead to repeat defects

When root causes are not properly recorded and actioned, similar non-conformances can recur, resulting in rework and added costs.

A Smarter Non Conformance App

AI-assisted non-conformance report creation

Storm can help turn user prompts into a complete non-conformance report, pre-filled with details that are specific to user input.

Corrective actions are linked to each report

Follow-up actions can be assigned and tracked directly against each non-conformance, keeping resolution connected to the original issue.

Close out non-conformances faster

Quality teams can review, verify, and sign off on corrective actions within Dashpivot, instead of waiting on paperwork to reach the office.

Unresolved non-conformances may lead to repeat defects

Every non-conformance is logged with photos, root causes, and corrective actions, giving quality teams a clear record they can use to spot recurring problems.

How AI works in the Non-Conformance Software

Sitemate's AI agent Storm is integrated into the Non-Conformance Software to further streamline the reporting process. Storm can immediately scan voice recordings and photos and directly auto-populate fields in the non-conformance report. Workers will only need to review the report before escalating it to supervisors.

Feed Storm the raw data on non-conformance

Workers that identify a non-conformance issue can use the voice recording feature while documenting the issue and take photos of the affected area, eliminating the need to manually input information.

Auto-population of fields

Storm scans through the voice recordings and photos taken, and immediately populates data into the fields of the non-conformance report.

Review and escalate

Workers identifying the issue will verify the auto-populated fields to ensure everything is correct, and then escalate it to the supervisors through automated notifications.

Final review by supervisors

Supervisors will then review the report for any identified issues before approving the corrective action. Any confirmed non-conformances will first be flagged for rework or further investigation.

  • Stakeholders and project management get notified immediately of new non-conformance reports when the report is submitted for approval

Understanding Non Conformance Software

What is a Non-Conformance Software?

A Non-Conformance Software is a tool that quality and site personnel use to create non-conformance reports, documents that record instances where work, materials, or processes fail to meet specified requirements. These reports are usually created as soon as the issue is identified, and cover details on the nature of the non-conformance, its cause, and the corrective action needed. With a Non-Conformance Software, teams can keep a digital record of these issues, as well as their resolution and close-out.

What does a Non-Conformance Software help record?

  • General information like project name, site location, and date identified
  • Description of the non-conformance and where it was found
  • Reference to the specification, drawing, or standard not met
  • Root cause of the non-conformance
  • Immediate containment or corrective action taken
  • Disposition, such as rework, repair, or reject
  • Name and sign-off of the person responsible for close-out
  • Supporting photos and attachments

Why is non-conformance tracking important?

Non-conformance tracking is important because it is a means by which quality teams can identify issues in work, materials, or processes, and elevate them to project management for proper action. These issues can arise from factors like human error, faulty materials, or gaps in the work procedure itself. This is especially relevant to industries like construction and industrial or manufacturing plants, where non-conformances can affect the safety and integrity of the finished work if left unresolved. Additionally, non-conformance records serve as a basis for project teams when identifying recurring issues and improving processes going forward.

How To Set Up a Digital Non Conformance Using Sitemate

Set up Non-Conformance report templates

First, you will need to create the templates that will be used as standard forms for all your non-conformance reports. Supervisors can create these forms in Dashpivot, where they can add fields for project details, description of the non-conformance, root cause, and corrective action recommendations.

Use Storm to fill out Non-Conformance templates

Storm captures insights and context from all sorts of user input. Manual user prompts, voice notes, photo analysis, and automatic location and time capture are all taken into account in the form.

Set up notifications

Set up the notification workflow within Dashpivot to send automatic alerts to supervisors and project managers as soon as non-conformance reports are logged.

Train personnel

Train personnel on how to use the Non-Conformance Software, especially on how to input data, photos, and voice recordings, collecting signatures, and reviewing the auto-populated fields.
