Company profile
researched Aug 2026Qflow, operating as Qualis Flow Ltd, provides a data platform for construction projects that captures information on materials, waste, utilities and carbon at the point it occurs on site. Delivery note data is captured at source (for example via a photograph), then automatically digitised, verified and audited, with discrepancies against specifications flagged to site teams. The platform digitises Goods Received Notes (GRNs) and Waste Transfer Notes (WTNs), applies AI-driven document processing, and enriches records with compliance information to create an auditable single source of truth spanning site and back office.
Core capabilities include verification of material specifications and certifications (such as FSC and ISO 14001), automated Duty of Care checks covering the nine points required by the Environment Agency, carbon tracking across Scopes 1, 2 and 3, invoice and payment reconciliation, and a digital audit trail per delivery. An alerts system monitors for non-compliant materials, missing certificates, incorrect or restricted suppliers and missing documentation. An insights dashboard reports on emissions, waste, reuse, recycling and landfill diversion, with alignment to PAS 2080, BREEAM and LEED requirements. The company positions the resulting dataset as supporting the construction "Golden Thread of Data" and circular-economy initiatives.
The product is delivered as software with no hardware installation, and the company states deployment requires less than 30 minutes of training. It integrates with existing site, ERP and BIM systems and with business intelligence and reporting tools including Power BI and Smartwaste, and exposes an API. Following a 2026 strategic investment from Autodesk, integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud is being deepened.
Founding story
Qflow was founded in May 2018 by Brittany Harris and Jade Cohen, who both had construction industry experience and met while volunteering for World Merit, an SDGs community. The company states it was founded with the purpose of leaving the world in a better place than they found it. [2][7]
Business model
Qflow sells a software platform to construction organisations, with a sales-led motion built around booking demos with its sales team. Sources do not state pricing or contract structure.
Not stated in the sources beyond a business-to-business software platform sold to contractors and developers.
Traction
Reported customers include Berkeley Group, Canary Wharf Group, Grosvenor, Landsec, Morgan Sindall, Multiplex and Workplace Futures. Bouygues UK is reported to have achieved a 271% efficiency gain using Qflow's digital GRN capture, and Grosvenor reported 98% of waste diverted from landfill, under 6.5 tonnes of waste per 100 m², and 3.5 days of administrative time saved per project. [3][5][7]
Latest developments
In February 2026, a report stated Qflow had raised £2 million in a seed round led by a strategic investment from Autodesk, alongside deeper integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, with proceeds directed to product development and go-to-market expansion in the UK, North America and other markets.

Market position
Qflow addresses construction-phase data capture for materials, waste and carbon. TechCrunch reported in 2023 that it was, as far as the publication was aware, unique in applying receipt-style capture to construction materials. A 2026 report categorises it as a London proptech startup and notes Autodesk's strategic backing and platform integration.
Sources emphasise capture of verified data at source rather than retrospective compliance reporting, automated auditing of every delivery and disposal, rapid deployment with no hardware and under 30 minutes of training, integration into existing workflows and tools, and, per the 2026 report, closing the loop between construction-site data and design intent through the Autodesk collaboration.
Technology
The platform captures field data on delivered materials, on-site quality and waste flows, using AI-driven document processing to digitise delivery and waste documentation and reconcile it against design specifications. It validates deliveries in real time, flags substitutions and missing data, tracks as-built conditions, and surfaces supply-chain compliance and sustainability risks. It requires no on-site hardware, offers an API, and integrates with site, ERP and BIM systems as well as Power BI, Smartwaste and Autodesk Construction Cloud. [3][4][5][6]
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales via demo requests, supported by customer case studies (Bouygues UK, Grosvenor) and a self-serve sustainability assessment quiz on the website. The 2023 Series A was raised to fuel growth in the US and Australia, and the 2026 Autodesk investment is stated to accelerate go-to-market activity in the UK, North America and other international markets, alongside distribution through deeper Autodesk Construction Cloud integration.
General contractors, property developers and their project teams, including project managers, quality and compliance teams, sustainability leads and commercial teams. Named users cited in sources include Berkeley Group, Canary Wharf Group, Grosvenor, Landsec, Morgan Sindall, Multiplex, Workplace Futures and Bouygues UK. [3][5][7]
Geography
Headquartered in London (registered office at Workspace – The Frames, 1 Phipp Street, EC2A 4PS) with a US registered office at 98 Cuttermill Road #466, Great Neck, NY. The company states it operates across the UK, US and Australia; support hours are given in GMT. [0][2]
History
Founded in 2018, Qflow raised £2.4 million across two seed rounds with investors including Pi Labs, MMC, Goldacre, Entrepreneur First (EF London 10) and angels. In May 2023 it closed a $9.1 million (£7.2m) Series A led by Systemiq Capital to fund growth in the US and Australia. A February 2026 report describes a further £2 million seed round led by a strategic investment from Autodesk, accompanied by a product collaboration with Autodesk Construction Cloud. [6][7]
