Qflow

Real-time materials, waste, and carbon data capture for construction sites

Cloud platform from Qualis Flow Ltd (UK) that digitizes paper and digital delivery dockets, goods-received notes (GRNs), and waste transfer notes (WTNs) at the point of capture, then cross-checks them against purchase orders and invoices to give contractors and developers real-time materials, waste, and carbon data for cost reconciliation and sustainability reporting.

$12.4M+ total across 3 rounds (per Tracxn), including a $9.1M/£7.2M Series A (closed May 2023, led by Systemiq Capital) and a separate £2M/€2.3M strategic investment from Autodesk (announced Feb 2026) — consistent with the seed facts noting a Series A round with Autodesk as an investor/source raisedGrowth Stage
Founded 2018 · Tier-1 UK/international contractors and developers, including Ferrovial, Bouygues UK, Skanska UK, Balfour Beatty, Morgan Sindall, Berkeley Group, Landsec, Canary Wharf Contractors, Grosvenor, Wates Residential, Multiplex, and the SCS JV (Skanska/Costain/Strabag) on HS2 (per company case studies page); reported ~54-61 employees (per RocketReach/LeadIQ, 2025) — no total user or project count publicly disclosed

WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

Construction site teams record materials deliveries, goods-received notes, and waste transfers on paper or disconnected digital tickets, then manually reconcile them against purchase orders and invoices — a slow process that delays supplier payment, obscures whether delivered materials meet compliance requirements (e.g., FSC-certified timber), and leaves waste/carbon data too fragmented and out of date to act on or report against schemes like BREEAM and LEED.

The Solution

Site teams photograph delivery dockets, GRNs, and waste transfer notes through the Qflow mobile app; the platform digitizes and time-stamps each record into a central system, automatically cross-references GRNs against purchase orders and invoices to flag quantity/price anomalies, checks materials against compliance standards (ISO, FSC certification), and rolls the data into real-time dashboards for cost reconciliation, waste diversion tracking, and carbon/BREEAM/LEED reporting.

Data Transparency

Exactly what this tool uses and how

Input
What it needs
Required:Photo or digital copy of delivery docket, goods-received note, or waste transfer note
Optional:Purchase order data, Supplier invoices, Material compliance certificates (e.g., FSC), Utilities meter readings
Formats:JPG, PNG, PDF, CSV
Output
What you get
Format:Web dashboard with real-time materials, waste, and carbon metrics; exportable records and reports
Fields:Digitized delivery/GRN records, Waste transfer note (WTN) log, Anomaly/compliance flags, Carbon and waste diversion metrics, BREEAM/LEED credit-tracking reports, Supplier payment reconciliation status
Algorithm
How it works
Model:Proprietary AI/ML pipeline for automated document data extraction and anomaly detection (specific model architecture not publicly disclosed)
Accuracy:Company-reported results from named case studies: 70%+ improvement in delivery data-capture completeness during a 3-month Skanska UK trial, and a 271% increase in supplier-payment processing efficiency for Bouygues UK (self-reported; methodology not independently verified)
Privacy
How your data is protected
Retention:Privacy policy states personal information is retained "only for as long as necessary to provide the Service, meet legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations, and resolve disputes" — no specific retention period (e.g., in days/years) is published
Training:Not publicly specified whether customer-submitted delivery/waste documents or site data are used to train Qflow's AI/ML models
Compliance:No SOC 2, ISO 27001, or GDPR-specific certification publicly documented as of research date — privacy policy describes general data-protection practices (data minimization, no sale of data to third parties) but does not cite a formal certification or audit report
API
Integration
Endpoint:Qflow API — outbound REST API for automated data export to third-party systems (specific base URL/endpoints not publicly documented)
Method:REST (per company integrations page)
USE CASES

Use Cases
