Mechanical & piping contractors
Track every spool, valve and flange from order to installed joint.
Piping jobs are won and lost on small items. TraceGrid follows each length of pipe, fitting and spool through quotes, orders, partial deliveries and installation, so the metres you report are the metres in the rack.
The pressure you work under
Thousands of small items, one tight margin.
Fittings ordered twice, or not at all
With hundreds of elbows, tees, reducers and flanges spread across several isos, nobody can say for certain what is on order. The shortage appears when the fitter reaches for it.
Deliveries that arrive in pieces
Pipe comes in three loads and the flanges in two. Partial deliveries recorded on paper rarely match the PO by the time anyone checks.
Rejected items that never come back
A spool with ovality or a damaged bevel goes back to the supplier, and the replacement quietly drops off the list.
Progress that runs ahead of material
Reports claim metres and joints that could not have been installed with what is on site, and the client's QS spots it before you do.
How TraceGrid helps
Count metres and joints you can prove.
- 1
Bring in the piping BOQ
Pipe by the metre, fittings and valves by the each, spools by the mark. Original and revised quantities stay side by side as isos are revised.
- 2
Order what is still outstanding
RFQs pick up only the unordered balance. Quotes are compared on price and lead time, and awards are made line by line with the reason on record.
- 3
Book partials and rejections at the gate
GRNs are pre-filled with what is still owed on each PO. Rejected items are captured with a reason and a photo, and stay open on the order until they are replaced.
- 4
Report progress per metre and per joint
Supervisors capture installed metres and welded joints from a phone, limited to the material that has actually arrived.
Modules that matter most
Where to start for mechanical & piping.
- Procurement RFQs from unordered quantities, so every fitting is ordered once, and only once. R550 per month
- Deliveries & Site Partial and rejected deliveries recorded at the gate, with photos, against the open PO. R1,150 per month
- Documents Mill certificates, delivery notes and isos attached to the lines they belong to. R650 per month
