Managing quality proactively
Sablono provides proactive quality assurance
Sablono provides robust quality assurance and quality control features that allow you to not only fix issues - but also prevent them from happening in the first place.
Attach digital QA checklists within your workflows directly to your activities. Then, have trades complete these along with attaching relevant notes, documents and photos as they report progress on-site from the Sablono app.
With Sablono, you can create quality workflows before you even begin works to ensure compliance. Predefine QA checklists for each of your units, outline the flow of trades, hold-points, roles and responsibilities and more. You can even embed management sign-off into your workflows for extra peace of mind. Then, replicate these workflows to quickly scale quality best practices across your projects.
Aconex take a more reactive approach to quality assurance
With Aconex, you cannot preplan QA workflows or attach them directly to your units. This means that you will have to carry out quality assurance on an ad-hoc basis which can lead to issues escalating or being missed altogether.
Tracking quality assurance
Sablono allows you to understand what's done vs what's not done
Sablono makes it simple to understand and track the quality of works across your site.
With Sablono's Activity Tracker, you can quickly verify that all necessary QA checks are in place. See a complete quality overview at glance or filter by area, deliverable, team, or status for more specific insights.
You can even click into each activity to get a full historical timeline right down to "who did what and when," to make disputes and "best guesses' a thing of the past.
With a reliable record of every action, you'll have clear answers to questions like "Who performed the final check and approved this task?". Plus, this digital audit trail is automatically updated and remains accessible for decades, providing you with crucial evidence of compliance even after the project is complete.
Aconex does not allow you to clearly track quality
Tracking quality assurance with Aconex can be challenging. While the platform offers QA checklists, you cannot currently attach them to individual units. As a result, it becomes difficult to monitor QA across the site, confirm that all necessary checks have been completed, and ensure the quality assurance process has been thorough.
Getting work signed-off quickly and easily
Sablono allows digital sign-off by multiple parties
With Sablono, multiple parties can review and approve tasks or deliverables in real time without the need for physical meetings or paper-based processes. This speeds up approvals, reduces bottlenecks, and keeps the project on track.
Embed management sign-off in your workflows right from the start. Decide which activities will require sign-off and when in the workflow this will happen, then assign this role to individuals in your management team. When work is completed, management can approve or reject work based on whether it aligns with the predefined standards.
Aconex does not provide digital sign-off by multiple parties
With Aconex, because there is no digital sign-off functionality, sign-offs may require more face-to-face meetings which can slow the approval process.
Understanding where issues and works are located
Sablono allows you to take and upload geo-tagged photos on-the-go
With Sablono, geotagged photos automatically capture the exact location where uploaded images are taken, providing a clear reference for site conditions, completed work, or issues in specific areas of the project. This ensures that documentation is linked to the precise spot, eliminating guesswork.
When problems or defects are identified, geotagged photos also make it easy to pinpoint the location of the issue. This speeds up the resolution process as the right team can be sent directly to the site, saving time and reducing delays.
Aconex does not provide geo-tagged photos
While Aconex does provide the ability to upload and markup photos, these are not geo-tagged which means that it is not possible to determine where the photo was located.
