Eliminating Billing Errors & Inventory Chaos: How 4 Companies Streamlined Operations with Avontus Quantify

Managing scaffolding projects requires precision and efficiency. Yet, many companies still rely on outdated manual processes such as spreadsheets, which often result in:
– Misplaced equipment
– Inaccurate billing
– Project delays

The consequences? Wasted time, lost revenue, and strained client relationships.

Fortunately, Avontus Quantify®, the inventory management and billing program, offers a smarter approach to scaffolding project management. In this article, we’ll show you how four real companies—Alltask Ltd., Commonwealth Scaffold, SMS Group Services, and Superior Scaffold—transformed their operations using Avontus Quantify.

4 Ways Avontus Quantify Transformed and Streamlined Scaffolding Operations

1. Eliminating Manual Equipment Tracking

Problem:

Alltask Ltd., a U.K.-based scaffolding contractor, faced significant challenges with manual tracking systems. The lack of visibility led to losses of 15 to 20 percent of stock sent out, primarily because customers would damage or fail to return materials.

Solution:

With Avontus Quantify, Alltask Ltd. automated their inventory tracking. They can now monitor the movement of every item across job sites and in their yard in real time. It also allows them to prioritize using owned equipment over re-rentals—saving money and reducing reliance on third-party suppliers.

Results:

✔️ Instant visibility of equipment status and location
✔️ Reduced inventory loss and improved accountability
✔️ Ability to recover costs by charging for missing materials
✔️ Smarter equipment use—returning re-rented gear when owned stock became available

2. Real-Time Inventory Monitoring Across Job Sites

Problem:

Superior Scaffold, working across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, used outdated software that couldn’t keep up with multi-site operations. Teams lacked real-time insights, leading to inefficiencies and poor coordination.

Solution:

Quantify gave them a single source of truth: a centralized dashboard with live updates on inventory status across all locations. Managers gained access to powerful pivot reports, customizable to their specific needs.

Results:

✔️ Company-wide visibility and coordination
✔️ Smarter equipment utilization
✔️ Smooth communication across departments and job sites
✔️ Greater operational efficiency from top to bottom

3. Streamlining Invoicing for Greater Accuracy

Problem:

Commonwealth Scaffold and SMS Group Services both faced challenges with outdated systems and manual invoicing. These inefficiencies often resulted in frequent errors, slow turnaround times, and frustrated clients.

Solution:

By implementing Avontus Quantify, both companies improved billing accuracy and efficiency and minimized room for human error. Commonwealth Scaffold integrated inventory tracking with invoicing, reducing administrative workload. SMS Group Services improved their ability to track stock movement in real time and seamlessly integrate it with other critical business functions like scaffold design and accurate invoicing.

Results:
✔️ Fewer billing disputes—accurate invoices the first time
✔️ Accelerated cash flow—reduced delays in getting paid
✔️ Increased client trust through transparent, reliable billing
✔️ Less time spent on admin tasks, providing more time for revenue-generating work

4. Improving Project Management & Client Satisfaction

Problem:

Disorganized workflows, siloed data, and manual coordination led to scheduling delays, job site confusion, and customer dissatisfaction.

SMS Group Services faced constant challenges trying to align equipment logistics with scaffold design requirements and job schedules. Similarly, Superior Scaffold had difficulty coordinating materials across multiple locations, which often led to miscommunication between project managers, yard teams, and finance.

Solution:

Avontus Quantify brought clarity and control to project management. With everything—equipment tracking, transparent reporting, and billing—managed in one system, teams can collaborate more effectively, and managers have the visibility to keep projects running smoothly.

Results:

✔️ Clearer communication between departments, from yard operations to accounting
✔️ Synchronized schedules, minimizing costly delays
✔️ Faster response times when plans changed on-site
✔️ Stronger client relationships built on trust, reliability and on-time delivery
