Highways projects rely on juggling multiple trades, vehicles and strict regulations. Generic software can struggle with these demands. Re-flow addresses this gap with tools built around the roadworks lifecycle.
Full workflow from start to finish
Re-flow covers every step of site operations: job intake, estimating, scheduling, delivery, billing and reporting. It complements financial systems by managing the operational details that typical ERPs miss.
Pricing and contracts tailored for highways
Many contractors work under long-term agreements with councils and Tier 1 firms, each using their own rates and item names. Re-flow lets teams set contract-specific prices, bulk apply annual uplifts and override item names to match client invoicing rules. It even manages hire charges for temporary equipment with on/off-hire controls and discounts.
Complete job data and financial tracking
Jobs hold detailed information including multiple UK location formats. Teams attach TM layouts, CAD drawings, safety documents and site plans. Permissions restrict who can access sensitive files. The system tracks estimates, actuals and invoices separately to highlight profitability and forecast income.
Scheduling shaped by highways’ realities
Highways work involves multi-crew, multi-vehicle deployments. Re-flow’s scheduling tools display live availability of operatives and vehicles. Planners drag and drop resources, check qualifications, enforce working time rules and manage temporary staff with limited profiles. A map view shows live locations when telematics is integrated, helping build compliant rotas even for reactive works.
Built-in controls to avoid mistakes
The software applies safeguards throughout. Scheduling blocks appear if a client exceeds credit limits. Billing is prevented if key data like off-hire dates are missing. Work cannot start without permit-to-dig approvals. User actions are limited if certifications or qualifications are expired. These controls help catch issues early, supporting safer and more consistent delivery.
Offline-capable app simplifies site work
The mobile app puts job details, assigned personnel, vehicles, locations and all required documents at operatives’ fingertips. Tasks like daily vehicle checks can be mandatory before work proceeds. Crucially, the app works fully offline once synced, overcoming the poor coverage common to many UK highways sites.
Forms and automation support safety
Forms within Re-flow are configurable with dynamic data and conditional logic. They trigger alerts if risks arise, update records automatically (for example, marking a defective vehicle) and keep audit trails for changes. Outputs include PDFs for handover to clients. The system integrates with a geo-tagged hazard database, warning operatives as they approach risk zones, enabling proactive safety management.
Integration enables larger scale coordination
Re-flow connects with ERPs and specialist systems used in highways. A pilot with Trackit247 monitors temporary traffic light batteries in real-time and automates replacement scheduling. Firms working across regions can share resources and coordinate contracts without ad-hoc calls. This gives teams clear visibility and audit trails across multiple operations.
Re-flow’s software is designed specifically for teams delivering roadworks including line marking, surfacing and traffic management. It evolves alongside the sector, continually adding features that make highways projects safer, clearer and easier to run.
