Problems Zektrx Solves
Less chasing, cleaner records.
Problem
Subcontractor documents and expiry dates are difficult to chase manually.
Problem
Site evidence and RAMS need to show control across multiple organisations.
Problem
Open actions and missing records can be hidden until audit or handover.

Zektrx gives each industry page a clearer operational story: trade-specific work, controlled site evidence and management review all staying connected in one record.
Trade record
Plan the work package around the way principal contractors actually deliver.
Evidence
Site proof stays with the job.
Photos, forms, RAMS, permits, actions and close-out records stay attached to the workflow they support.
Review
Managers see the gaps earlier.
A clearer record makes missing owners, unsigned briefings and incomplete handover evidence easier to catch.
Example Workflows
From setup to handover.
Step 1
Tender to job setup
Turn repeat principal contractors work into a job record with scope, documents, people, dates and responsible owners before site work starts.
Step 2
RAMS, permits and site controls
Connect RAMS, method statements, permits, inspections and evidence so the principal contractors team is working from the right version.
Step 3
Evidence to handover
Collect photos, documents, actions, completion records and client-ready evidence without rebuilding a pack at the end.
