Seven-day inspections slip
Scaffolds need inspecting every seven days and after bad weather, but the records pile up in the van. Get reminders, complete each inspection on site, and store it against the job with photos.

Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches scaffolders tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Quotes take too long to price
Hire periods, lift counts and labour add up to a slow quote. Build the quote from saved rates on your phone and get it out before the contractor calls the next firm.
Weekly hire charges get missed
Scaffold left up for months but only invoiced once? Track hire periods and raise weekly charges automatically so no revenue slips through.
Everything scaffolders need in one place

Site surveys, risk assessments, design records, erection and weekly inspection records — captured on site against the job.
