ConQA vs Sablono
When it comes to ensuring quality which quality management solution is best for your company?
Why companies choose Sablono vs ConQA
Plan detailed workflows and attach QA checklists to each activity, then as you progress activities within Sablono, you’ll simultaneously document quality. This gives quality assurance in the moment, activity, by activity. ConQA provides QA checklists but these checklists are not connected to a wider workflow, acting as a more reactive approach to quality management.
Saablono allows you to attach geo-tagged photos to QAs and activities as evidence of quality and compliance standards being met. ConQA does not allow you to upload geo-tagged photos which means you have no record of when and where the photo was taken.

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.
ConQA take a more reactive approach to quality assurance
With ConQA, you cannot attach QAs to a wider workflow. This means that it can be difficult to locate issues and to determine whether quality has sufficiently been carried out across all your activities.
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.
ConQA does not provide geo-tagged photos
While ConQA allows you to upload photos to your checkpoints, it does not provide geo-location functionality. This means that it is not possible to understand where on the site the image relates to.
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.
ConQA supports sign-of by multiple parties
ConQA also supports sign-off from multiple parties to streamline progress and approvals. You can easily submit checklists or hold points for sign-off and track all sign-off statuses.
Managing and resolving issues
Sablono provides comprehensive issue management features
Sablono makes managing and resolving issues simple. Teams can easily report issues direct from the site using the Sablono app in real-time. Management will then receive automatic notifications as soon as issues are flagged and have final sign-off before the issue is marked as resolved.
Sablono's Issue Lists and Reports allows you to say goodbye to having to manually track down issues. Instead, find all your issues in one place. Use extensive filters to easily find the issues that are most relevant to you - from the team that carried out work to the specific area and so much more.
Then, easily generate automated PDF reports and export them in moments to quickly share issues and streamline their resolution.
You can further simplify issue management by standardising your reporting process with predefined codes and descriptions for each issue type.
ConQA also provides issue management
ConQA helps manage construction issues by digitising checklists, enabling teams to capture and document evidence directly onsite. This simplifies the tracking of progress and issues, as photos and records are automatically organised.
The platform also allows for quick sign-offs, accurate reporting, and variation management, ensuring transparency and reducing disputes.
