Using Onetrace you can generate QR codes for your projects that allow you to tag all fire protection work carried out on-site—helping ensure compliance and that vital information is readily available on-site.
You will receive a quota of 20,000 QR code links every month. Your quota will automatically reset at the start of your next billing period. If you use up your quota of 20,000 in any given month, please get in touch with us via the support chat to request more.
Why use QR Codes?
QR codes allow contractors to tag on-site work, providing quick access when scanned to all the recorded information about that installation on Onetrace.
If an installation or asset needs to be surveyed, or remedial work is carried out in the future, QR codes can be used to trace and document this activity.

Responsibilities of your operatives
1. After completing a job onsite, your operatives will stick a QR Code label on the work or wall close to the completed job.
2. Your operative will scan the QR Code against the job sheet on the Onetrace App, linking the code to the completed job in the system.
3. Any future Onetrace user who scans the same QR code will be taken directly to the information of all the work that someone has done previously on that specific pin/location stored within the QR Code on their Onetrace system.
4. For any future job, your operative can scan the QR code using their phone and add additional job forms to the running history of all work someone has done at that specific location.
💡 Example:
After you complete a survey, you can tag the location using a QR code. Your operatives can then scan the QR code when they perform an installation. Scanning the QR code enables them to retrieve all the relevant information.
