A scaffold isn't finished when it's up. It needs a handover, an inspection at least every seven days and a record of every one. DuoApp puts jobs, inspections, handovers and CISRS cards in one app your inspectors and erectors will use - with CIS and invoicing handled properly.

Scaffolding is one of the most inspected trades on site, and most of it still runs on carbon-copy pads. These are the problems scaffolding contractors tell us about most.
With dozens of scaffolds across different sites, one missed inspection is all it takes - and you find out when the main contractor or HSE does.
Paper registers, rained-on and filled in from the cab. When someone asks for the history of a scaffold, it's in a box in the yard.
Handover certificates with no photos, so when something is altered later, nobody can show what was handed over.
Alterations, extra lifts and extended hire agreed on site are forgotten by the time the invoice goes out.
CISRS cards, inspection courses and insurance expire, and nobody notices until a site manager turns someone away.
Deductions, retention and releases tracked in a spreadsheet, and the yard is always chasing money.
Everything below is included in the same £10 per user, from the yard to the office.
Set up each scaffold as part of its job, and add inspections as recurring tasks every seven days or at whatever interval you need. The next one appears as soon as the last is done, and overdue inspections stand out.
Turn your inspection and handover checks into checklists on the phone, with pass, fail or N/A for each item, photos and a signature. Every record is timestamped and stored against the scaffold.
Store CISRS cards, inspection qualifications, CSCS cards and insurance against each person. DuoApp warns you before anything expires, and can block work for anyone whose documents aren't current.
Raise an alteration or extra lift from site on your phone, send it for sign-off and keep a full audit trail, so extra work turns into extra money.
Deductions, verification status, retention and releases sit on every invoice, so what you're owed and what you owe is always worked out for you.
Fixed prices per scaffold or stage, split labour and materials, or your own subcontract gangs with staged claims - all on the same platform.
Mark a scaffold design, TG20 compliance sheet or RAMS as required reading. DuoApp notifies everyone affected, blocks sign-off until it's opened, and locks again on every new revision.
Clock in and out on the phone, optionally checked against the site boundary at that moment. See who's on each site right now, with an offline fire roll.
