The Quality Planning App Built for the Front Line
Sitemate’s Quality Planning App is powered by Dashpivot, and allows site teams to easily log quality plans at the job site. Storm, Sitemate’s AI agent, can fill out plans with quality criteria, inspection requirements, and even photos, then site supervisors can review, edit, and sign off directly on the form via e-signature.
Why Quality Planning management Is Harder than It Should Be
Time-consuming manual quality plan creation
Engineers using paper-based forms take a long time to complete quality plans before work begins.
Delays in getting sign-off before starting work
Paper-based quality plans often need to be passed around for review, which can hold up the start of work.
Compliance gaps due to skipped planning
Due to the time it takes to complete paper-based quality plans, this step may be skipped, which compromises compliance with project specifications.
Missing and illegible quality plans
Paper-based quality plans can easily get soiled or damaged. Furthermore, paper forms are easy to lose before reaching the office.
A Smarter Quality Planning App
AI-assisted quality plan creation
Storm can help turn user prompts into a complete quality plan, pre-filled with details specific to user input.
Quick sign-off before starting work
Engineers and supervisors can review and sign off on the quality plan directly from their mobile device, so work isn’t held up waiting on paperwork.
Supervisor review before work begins
All completed quality plans are routed to supervisors for review and sign-off before work is cleared to start.
Missing and illegible quality plans
The Quality Planning App uses a cloud storage system where all completed plans are stored. Looking into previous plans can be done with a few taps and clicks.
Understanding Quality Planning Software
What is a Quality Planning App?
A Quality Planning App is a tool that project and quality teams use to create quality plans, documents that outline the standards, processes, and checks needed to achieve the required quality outcomes on a project. These plans are usually developed before work begins, and cover details on the applicable specifications, responsibilities, and inspection or testing requirements for each activity. With a Quality Planning App, teams can keep a digital record of these plans, as well as any updates made as the project progresses.
What does a Quality Planning App help record?
- General information like project name, site location, and date
- Scope of work and activities covered by the plan
- Applicable specifications, codes, and standards
- Roles and responsibilities for quality-related tasks
- Inspection, testing, and verification requirements for each activity
- Documentation and records required to demonstrate compliance
- Supporting photos and attachments
Why is quality planning important?
Quality planning is important because it is a means by which project teams can define the standards and checks needed to achieve the required outcome, before work begins rather than after issues arise. These outcomes can be affected by factors like the complexity of the work, the number of parties involved, or the standards required by the client. This is especially relevant to industries like construction and industrial or manufacturing plants, where a lack of planning can lead to inconsistent quality across different trades and stages. Additionally, quality plans serve as a basis for project teams when confirming that the right checks are in place throughout the project.
