Industry: Aluminium & Steel Manufacturing
Region: GCC
Modules Deployed: Audit, Inspection, Incident, Training, Work Permit
The Challenge
- A leading aluminium and steel manufacturer in the GCC was managing safety and
compliance almost entirely with a paper model that couldn’t keep pace with the scale and
risk profile of heavy manufacturing operations.
- Manual audits and inspections led to missed non-conformities.
- Incident reporting was delayed, with no structured root-cause tracking.
- Work permits were issued on paper, creating risk of unauthorized site access.
- No centralized system existed to track training completions and certifications.
- Generating compliance reports for regulatory audits was slow and difficult.
The Solution
- QGira rolled out a connected suite of modules covering the full safety lifecycle from
audits to work permits and moved every field-level workflow onto mobile and tablet
devices.
- Deployed modules for Audit, Inspection, Incident, Training, and Work Permit.
- Digitized all field-level data captured via mobile/tablet interfaces.
- Enabled real-time notifications, escalations, and corrective action tracking.
- Delivered multilingual support for frontline workers.
- Integrated analytics to surface NCR trends, incident root causes, and permit status.
The Results
- 40% reduction in safety incidents driven by timely hazard tracking.
- 100% reduction in lead time from initiation to closure of all safety processes.
- 100% audit completion rate with auto-reminders and scheduling.
- 70% faster permit approval turnaround after eliminating paper permits entirely.
- Automated training tracking & reminders strengthened the plant’s overall safety
Culture.
- Real-time dashboards and reports put the site in a permanent state of regulatory
audit readiness.
Key Takeaway
“From paper-based blind spots to real-time safety visibility QGira helped this GCC
manufacturers cut incidents by 40% while making audits and permits fully digital.”
