Structured Issue Identification & Logging
- Issues can be raised through a built-in module with standardized data capture
- Auto-Captured Project Metadata
- Project ID
- WBS
- Discipline
- Date
- Originator details
Proactive Issue Tracking & Resolution
Enables structured, workflow-driven issue tracking across the entire project lifecycle — from identification to resolution and closure — ensuring zero-loss execution and complete governance control
What Does It Do
Every issue tracked from logging to closure
Issue Management provides a centralized, workflow-driven system for identifying, assigning, resolving, verifying, and closing issues across the project lifecycle. Every action is time-stamped and audit-tracked. This ensures complete accountability, faster resolution, stronger governance, and early visibility of issues before they escalate into delays, additional costs, rework, or contractual disputes.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers on logging, routing and closing project issues.
What information is captured automatically when an issue is logged?
The project ID, WBS, discipline, date and originator details are captured automatically. Issues are raised through a built-in module with standardized data capture, so every entry starts with consistent project metadata.
How can issues be classified and prioritized?
Issues are categorized by type, priority level and impact category, and assigned a responsible party. Types include technical, commercial, quality, safety, interface and planning, priority runs from low to critical, and impact covers cost, time, quality, safety and scope.
What workflow does an issue follow before it is closed?
Each issue follows a predefined workflow of review, action, verification and closure. Root causes are captured, corrective and preventive actions are defined and then validated before closure, with every action time-stamped and audit-tracked.
How are critical or overdue issues escalated?
Wrench SmartProject applies configurable escalation for critical issues and sends automatic alerts when resolution is delayed. The centralized Issue Register also monitors due dates and gives escalation visibility for overdue issues, so none is overlooked.
Can issues be linked to documents, the schedule and cost centres?
Yes. Issue Management integrates with the Document Management System, the project schedule and tasks, and cost centres. Issues affecting compliance are linked to documents, schedule impacts are traceable and cost implications are visible.
Can site teams raise issues from the mobile app?
Yes. Issues can be raised and tracked through the mobile application. Field teams can capture site images, add remarks instantly, assign responsibility and trigger the workflow in real time.
