Track materials through the whole job

Materials tracking is strongest when it follows the item from request to purchase, delivery, storage, allocation, installation and completion evidence.

What to record

  • Requested material and reason
  • Supplier, price and purchase order
  • Expected and actual delivery date
  • Delivery note, photo or receipt
  • Storage location and responsible person
  • Job, area or task where it was used
  • Remaining stock, waste or return status

If materials are only tracked in a stock spreadsheet, the site team may still struggle to prove what was delivered or used on a specific job. Job-linked records make reporting and handover easier.

Zektrx ties Construction Stock Management Software, Site Operations Software and Construction Reporting Software around the same job.
