Goodbye Guesswork: ScaffoldIQ Brings Clarity to Scaffold Management
Are you frustrated by missed build or dismantle requests, crews waiting on inspections, customer disputes, or safety documents that are rarely where they should be? Scaffold details often end up in spreadsheets, inboxes, and paperwork, so there’s no single source of truth. Without real-time visibility, communication breaks down—leading to idle labour, delayed handovers, and compliance gaps that put projects at risk.
The Solution
ScaffoldIQ™, from SAA Basic Partner, Avontus Software, is a cloud-based platform that removes the guesswork from scaffold management. It gives Australian scaffolding companies full visibility across every project—from the office to the job site.
ScaffoldIQ gives businesses complete operational visibility by ensuring every scaffold is logged, tracked, and updated in one place. Teams no longer rely on manual records, radio calls, or spreadsheets — everything is recorded digitally, improving billing accuracy, streamlining inspections, reducing delays, and strengthening accountability.
“ScaffoldIQ ensures all scaffolds are captured and recorded for billing and inspections. The program removes the risks associated with relying on manual records.”
- John Keightley, Senior Operations Manager of Industrial Scaffolding at Actavo
Map-based view displays each scaffold location and status.
See scaffold status at a glance. Spreadsheets and text threads make it hard to know what’s built, pending, or complete. ScaffoldIQ provides a map-based view with colour-coded pins by status so teams can prioritise work and keep crews moving.
Track every request and stay on schedule. No more approvals disappearing into radio calls and texts—ScaffoldIQ digitises build, modify, and dismantle requests in a single, traceable workflow with attachments, approvals, and notifications.
Complete inspections on mobile devices. Paper inspections are hard to track and can pile up into hundreds or thousands of forms that need data entry. Inspectors use a phone or tablet with on-site proximity verification— eliminating paper forms and manual re-entry.
Hand over scaffolds with confidence and proof. Ditch paper trails—complete handovers on a phone or tablet with signatures, comments, and timestamps, so accountability is clear from build through dismantle.
Access inspection records from your desktop or mobile device.
Clear visibility into scaffold status, location, and details on your mobile device.
Customise safety docs to local standards. Scattered paper forms make it difficult to stay compliant and track sign-offs. ScaffoldIQ lets you create templates that meet country-specific standards, like SWMS (Safe Work Method Statement) in Australia. Select hazards, define control measures, and capture digital signatures for full traceability.
Work in the field or the office. Updates that stay on paper or on one laptop cause teams to fall out of sync. ScaffoldIQ works on desktops for office users and mobile devices in the field—online or offline—with automatic cloud sync so everyone sees the latest status once connected.
QR codes give instant insight into every scaffold. When information is scattered across emails and paper, crews waste time searching for the latest details. Each scaffold has a unique QR code that users can scan with any mobile device to view the live record, including location, photos, requests, inspection records, and full history.
Build transparency with clients. If customers can’t see progress, they chase updates and pull supervisors off the job. Provide free view-only access so customers can check progress by reviewing status, photos, and history anytime.

Why It Matters
With ScaffoldIQ, scaffolding businesses replace uncertainty with clarity. Crews, supervisors, and customers stay connected in one system, ensuring safer, more efficient, and fully traceable operations. The app even works offline—so teams can capture data at remote or high-security sites and sync automatically once reconnected.
Whether you’re managing shutdowns, long-term maintenance, or new construction, ScaffoldIQ gives Australian scaffold contractors the tools to stay compliant, accountable, and in control.
