Scafflife is a job management app for the scaffolding industry. Users have different roles classified as Administrators, Planners, Scaffolders and Clients. Administrators and Planners can create jobs and enter all the details needed by Scaffolders to undertake the work. When a Scaffolder logs on to the app, they will be presented with a list of their assigned jobs. When a particular job is selected, the Scaffolder is presented with a map of the job’s location, the dates for erection, inspection and dismantling and all other necessary information. The Scaffolder can complete checklists and take photos of the completed works. The app also provides a calendar for Administrators and Planners to oversee the portfolio of all jobs, past, present and future.
