The Challenge

For a leading South African manufacturer of pre-fabricated concrete elements, the journey from pouring to final delivery was fraught with administrative friction. Every beam, slab, and pillar required rigorous Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Safety Audit (QSA) checks.

Traditionally, this meant paper trails, disjointed spreadsheets, and a manual handover process that often delayed the transfer of critical safety certification to the client. They needed a way to track the lifecycle of each unique concrete unit—from the factory floor to the construction site—while ensuring their clients had instant access to compliance data.

The Solution: QR Inventory Integration

The manufacturer implemented QR Inventory's comprehensive asset management system, tagging each concrete unit with a unique, durable QR code at the moment of creation.

• Digital QA/QSA Tracking: Quality control officers scan the unit's QR code at each stage of production, logging inspections and attaching test results directly to the item's digital record.
• Centralized Documentation: All safety certificates, stress test reports, and material specifications are stored securely against the item's ID, replacing the physical "compliance pack."
• Real-time Location Tracking: The system tracks the unit's movement from the curing yard to the loading bay, ensuring nothing is lost or misrouted.

The Game Changer: Cross-Tenant Inventory Transfer

The true innovation came with QR Inventory's Cross-Tenant Transfer feature.

Because the manufacturer's major clients (large construction firms) also use QR Inventory, the system allows for a seamless digital handover. When a delivery truck leaves the manufacturer's yard and arrives at the client's construction site, the "ownership" of those specific concrete units is transferred digitally.
