Scaffolding contractor software for erect, hire and strike
Quote the erect and the weekly hire as separate lines, keep adaptations as approved variations, and capture handover and inspections on a phone on site.
The hire period is the part that leaks
Scaffolding is sold twice: once as an erect and strike, and then every week it stands. The second half is where the money is lost, because nobody notices a structure that was due down in April and is still up in July.
- Erect, weekly hire and strike price as separate costed lines
- Adaptations are approved variations on the job, not verbal instructions
- Handover and inspection eForms carry photos and signatures
- Invoices come off the job and post to Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent

More about Zigaflow for Scaffolding Contractors
Zigaflow prices erect, hire and strike as separate lines on one job, holds adaptations as approved variations rather than verbal instructions, and captures handovers and inspections as eForms on site. Zigaflow does not run a hire availability calendar, so a dedicated hire system still owns that if your yard needs one.
The problems we solve
Hire runs past the quoted period unnoticed
A structure booked for six weeks stands for fourteen, and the extra weeks are only found when somebody asks for it to come down.
Hire is its own line on the job with its own period, so the overrun is a number on a record rather than a memory.
Adaptations are verbal
A site manager asks for a lift to be added, the crew does it, and the extra is disputed at the end.
Adaptations are added to the job as lines and approved before they are invoiced.
Inspection records are on paper
Weekly inspection sheets live in a folder in a van and cannot be produced when someone asks.
Inspections are eForms completed on a phone with photographs and signatures, stored against the job.
