5 Reasons Why Matrak is Better Than Your Current Quality System 

Quality checks and Inspection test plans often end up being a significant drain on everyone’s time. They’re time-consuming and oftentimes aren’t properly done –  resulting in low improvements in overall quality.

Moreover, when issues do arise, locating the relevant information needed can be a daunting task, leading to frustration and inefficiency.

However, it’s important to acknowledge that quality checks serve a purpose despite these challenges! Here’s 6 reasons why Matrak’s material tracking platform is better than your current quality systems. 

In Matrak, users have the ability to conduct quality checks directly on their interactive project drawings. They can easily access their drawings, view all required checks, and mark them off as they progress, simplifying the quality process significantly.

And when you’re doing thousands of these checks, they need to be simple.

For each item, users can then go into more detail by providing additional comments and even attaching photos to the corresponding checks.

This ensures that if any issues arise later on, retrieving the information you need is easy and efficient. Simply locate the exact spot on the drawings, access associated photos, and gain a clear understanding of what transpired.

There is no setup! Getting your quality tracking running is super simple. Once you sign up, simply upload your project drawings and Matrak will automatically do a takeoff for your trade and identify everything that you need to check. Then it will link those quality checks directly to the corresponding products.

Alternatively, if you’re not using drawings, you can upload a bill of quantities from excel and Matrak’s system will link the different items or rooms to all of the quality checks that need to be performed.

Matrak offers customisable live dashboards tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re tracking approval statuses or monitoring quality checks, these dashboards automatically update as tasks are completed. This ensures that areas requiring attention are promptly highlighted for your awareness.

Moreover, you can set up custom reports to obtain detailed insights, such as identifying when items fail quality checks. This functionality enables you to take immediate action, such as initiating reorders, to your suppliers or manufacturers, directly from the reports.

 
And all data in Matrak can be conveniently saved in either Excel or standard PDF format, for easy record-keeping and access to information when needed.

The worst thing about paper quality checks is having to manually sign your name, sometimes hundreds of thousands of times per project. 

In Matrak, each time a digital quality check is completed, the system automatically generates a digital signature in the project’s audit log. This signature includes the full name of the individual who conducted the check, along with the date and time of the action.

These digital signatures can not be changed, providing you with complete traceability of all activities related to your products.

Quality checks ideally serve to enhance the overall quality, but this objective is only achieved when these checks are consistently conducted in tandem during installation or manufacturing. 

Unfortunately, this coordination often fails to occur.

Matrak’s Run Rate reporting serves as a safeguard against this. These reports enable you to monitor and verify that adequate quality checks are being conducted simultaneously during the installation or manufacturing process.

By reviewing your Run Rate Report, you can visually observe the checks being executed in real-time, providing you with the assurance that checks are indeed being carried out concurrently. Furthermore, you gain insight into the individuals identifying and addressing issues. This visibility is crucial because simply conducting a high volume of quality checks doesn’t necessarily equate to thorough quality assurance.

Matrak is the only system that’s actually improving quality rather than just creating more work for everybody involved. 

Sequence tracking in Matrak streamlines the process of updating your schedule. As quality checks are completed by various trades, your schedule is automatically updated reflecting the work that’s been done making tracking progress and staying on top of key project milestones easier than ever.
