Conformiq started with an excavator.
Not a big dramatic failure — just an ordinary site day. One excavator left, another turned up to replace it. Same yellow paint, same size, same spot on the compound. To anyone walking past, it was the same machine.
It wasn't. And the paperwork back in the office still thought it was.
That's the moment this started to matter. Plant certification — LOLER, PUWER, insurance, operator cards — doesn't move at the speed of a site. A swap that takes ten minutes in the yard can leave the office chasing outdated records for weeks, and nobody finds out there's a gap until someone actually asks for the paperwork — an inspection, an audit, a main contractor wanting proof before a machine touches their site.
That gap is what Conformiq closes. It gives site teams and main contractors one place to see what's on site, whether its certificates are current, and when they're about to expire — before it becomes a problem someone has to explain. No more assuming the excavator in the yard is the one the paperwork says it is.
It's a small thing to get right. But on a construction site, the small things are usually the ones that catch you out.
