Installation & Procurement
From fitting request to installed — fully tracked
What is Installation & Procurement?
For electrification and fiber contractors, the installation workflow is the core production engine of the business. Materials need to be requisitioned, approved, issued from store, transported to site, installed, and accounted for in the as-built documentation — all within a tight daily cycle. Any breakdown in this chain — missing materials, unrecorded issuances, disputed installation counts — directly delays project delivery and creates reconciliation problems at handover. InfraPro's Installation & Procurement module digitises and controls this workflow from end to end.
The procurement side of the module manages the journey from BOQ to store: raising purchase orders against approved suppliers, tracking delivery status, recording goods received notes, and updating inventory. Procurement officers can compare prices across suppliers, maintain approved supplier lists, and ensure that all procurement follows the required approval process before orders are placed. Supplier performance is tracked — delivery accuracy, lead times, and quality acceptance — informing future sourcing decisions.
The installation management side covers the field execution: site teams submit installation requests specifying the equipment, quantities, and site location. The request triggers material issuance from the site sub-store, with the storekeeper confirming the issuance against the request. As equipment is installed, daily progress reports capture installed quantities against the fitting batch. Equipment that is returned from site — whether undamaged or for repair — goes through a formal returns process that closes the loop on the issuance record.

Installation Request Submission
Field teams and site managers submit installation requests specifying equipment type, quantity needed, site location, and target installation date — with mobile submission from the field.
Installation Approval Workflow
Installation requests are reviewed and approved by the stores manager and project manager before materials are issued — ensuring resource availability is confirmed before field teams mobilise.
Fitting Batch Management
Group related installation works into fitting batches (e.g., one transformer installation including all associated fittings). Track batch status from pending to in-progress to completed and signed off.
Material Issuance for Installations
Issue materials against approved installation requests with quantity confirmation and storekeeper sign-off. Automatically update inventory and project material cost allocation.
Equipment Assignment & Return
Assign tools and equipment to site teams for installation works. Track equipment location, responsible person, and expected return date. Process returns with condition assessment.
As-Built Installation Records
Record installed quantities, serial numbers, and GPS locations as work is completed. Generate as-built documentation for client handover and regulatory submission.
Supplier Management
Maintain a registered supplier database with contact details, payment terms, product categories, and performance ratings. Control which suppliers can be used for specific material categories.
Purchase Order Processing
Create and approve POs against BOQ items, track order status and expected delivery dates, record partial deliveries, and generate goods received notes.
Procurement Price Comparison
Record and compare quotes from multiple suppliers for the same material. Automated lowest-price highlighting with variance analysis for procurement committee review.
Supplier Performance Tracking
Track delivery performance (on-time %, quantity accuracy), quality acceptance rates, and responsiveness per supplier — building a procurement performance record for vendor management.
Why Teams Choose This Module
Zero Installation Works Starting Without Materials
The installation request and approval workflow ensures materials are confirmed in store before field teams mobilise to a site — eliminating wasted mobilisation trips.
Clean Handover Documentation Every Time
As-built records captured during installation — quantities, serial numbers, GPS locations — produce the handover documentation clients require without any post-completion data gathering.
Procurement That Follows the Rules
Multi-step PO approvals, approved supplier lists, and quote comparison requirements ensure procurement follows company policy — reducing the risk of inflated prices and unauthorised suppliers.
Complete Equipment Accountability
Equipment assignment and return tracking means every tool and piece of test equipment is accounted for — eliminating the mystery losses that accumulate when equipment movement isn't formally recorded.
How Different Industries Use This
Manage transformer installation batches with full BOQ material issuance, track meter serial numbers from store to installed location for KPLC accountability, and document LV/HV works for REREC as-built sign-off.
Track fiber splice closures, route the cable installation process from reel to trench to spliced-and-tested, and manage cabinet and equipment installation with serial number documentation for ISP client handover.
Control procurement for multi-contractor civil projects, manage equipment assignment across sub-contractors, and document installation of mechanical and electrical building services for defects liability purposes.
