CheckProof's New Report Unveils Maintenance and Safety Gaps in Construction Materials Operations
CheckProof, an innovative platform designed for managing operations in the construction materials and heavy industry sector, recently unveiled their newest report titled 'Mind the Gap: A Construction Materials Industry Benchmark Report'. This detailed study is based on a survey of 107 industry professionals involved in various sectors such as quarrying, concrete, asphalt, and recycling, aiming to shed light on how maintenance, safety, and operational data are currently managed in the field.
In the report, CheckProof identifies four major gaps in the industry that affect efficiency and safety:
1. The Data Gap: A staggering 79% of participants confirmed that they regularly collect operational data. However, 56% of these respondents feel they are not fully capitalizing on this information, indicating a significant disconnect between data collection and its application in improving operations.
2. The Execution Gap: About 58% log operational issues, yet 42% admit that these issues often remain unresolved. This points to a clear need for more effective problem-solving frameworks to ensure that safety and efficiency issues are addressed promptly.
3. The Tool Gap: Alarmingly, over 60% of operations are still relying on outdated methods like paper-based processes or spreadsheets, which hampers effective management and real-time access to critical data.
4. The Priority Gap: While unplanned downtime is highlighted as a top concern, other factors such as workforce training and accountability are also emphasized by a significant portion of respondents, illustrating the multifaceted nature of operational challenges in the industry.
Key findings from the report reveal that 31% of the surveyed professionals express a need for real-time visibility from job sites, with 16% seeking predictive or preventative maintenance solutions, and 13% calling for improved issue tracking capabilities. Tom O'Boyle, CheckProof’s Chief Product Officer, shared insights from the findings, stating, "The disconnect between recognizing a problem and effectively resolving it is a critical area where downtime occurs and safety risks escalate. This report highlights that these issues are not isolated to a single site; they are systemic across the industry."
The survey was distributed to a verified industry contact list consisting of over 6,000 professionals involved in quarry management, maintenance, health and safety, executive roles, and quality assurance. A majority of participants are based in the United States, with some responses from the United Kingdom as well.
Founded in 2014, CheckProof has established itself as a leading SaaS provider headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. With a mission to enhance operational management in construction materials, the platform delivers essential capabilities for maintenance, health, safety, quality, and production. By serving thousands of users in 45 countries, CheckProof is charting a course for measurable improvements in productivity and compliance. Notably, CheckProof U.S. Inc. was inaugurated in 2024 in Houston, Texas, expanding its footprint in the North American market.
The full report is now accessible for download on the CheckProof website, providing valuable insights for industry stakeholders committed to enhancing safety and operational efficiency in the construction materials sector.
