When snags slip through the cracks

Defects noted on site but never properly tracked. Issues rediscovered at handover when it's too late.

Lost in notebooks

Snags written on paper, photos scattered across phones. No central view of what's outstanding or who's responsible.

No clear ownership

Defects identified but nobody assigned. Finger-pointing when it comes to fixing them. Delays pile up.

Handover nightmares

Client discovers unresolved defects during final inspection. Costly delays, disputes, and damage to reputation.

STRUCTURED TRACKING

Every snag tracked from detection to closure

Create non-conformity records with status, priority, severity, and assignee. Auto-generated references (NC-2026-001) ensure nothing gets lost.

Unique references

Auto-generated tracking numbers (NC-2026-001, TK-2026-003) for every defect. No confusion, full traceability.

Priority & severity

Flag critical issues (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and severity levels (Minor, Major, Critical) to focus effort where it matters.

Status workflows

Detected → Open → Corrective action → Cleared → Closed. Every transition logged with date and author.

Location tagging

Link defects to specific site areas. Know exactly where the issue is without hunting through notes.

CLEAR OWNERSHIP

Assign, track, and get it done

Assign a responsible person to every defect. Break resolution into actionable steps with checklist actions. Everyone knows what they need to do.

Assigned responsibilities

  • Assign team members as responsible for each snag – no more "someone will handle it"
  • Set due dates to ensure timely resolution and avoid handover delays
  • Automatic notifications when assigned, status changed, or deadlines approaching
  • Overdue alerts flag snags past their due date – visible at a glance

Action checklists

  • Break down resolution into concrete steps: inspect, order materials, repair, verify
  • Assign individual actions to different team members with separate due dates
  • Tick off as you go – visual progress tracking shows what's done and what's left
  • Reusable templates for common defect types – save time on recurring issues

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about snagging tracking with Klear

Who can create and manage snags?

Administrators, site managers, and project managers can all create defect records. Field workers can also create snags on their assigned sites. Subcontractors do not have permission to create defects, but they can be assigned as responsible for resolution.

Can I create custom tracking types beyond non-conformities and tickets?

Yes. Administrators can create custom tracking types from Administration > Tracking. Each custom type has its own workflow of statuses, priority levels, and options. This allows you to adapt the system to different processes – for example, safety incidents, change requests, or client queries.

Is snagging tracking available on the mobile app?

Yes, the full tracking feature is available on both iOS and Android mobile apps. Field teams can create defects, attach photos, update statuses, and tick off actions directly from their phone on site. All changes sync instantly with the web platform.

Plan requirement: Snagging tracking is included automatically in the Business plan for both Klear and Karre. It is not available on the Smart plan.
