How Construction Inventory Management Works In The QR Inventory Software
Struggling to keep track of materials and equipment on your construction sites?
Wasting time searching for tools, dealing with lost inventory, and paying for wasted supplies?
A QR Inventory software empowers construction crews with the tools they need to be productive,
while giving office staff real-time visibility into all your resources across every job site.
Accurate Real Time Construction Inventory Tracking
With the QR Inventory software you always have real time reports on stock level and materials usage.
Tracking Construction Inventory With A Mobile Phone And QR Codes
Mobile technology offers real-time, accurate, and convenient software solution for managing job site supplies and materials.
A QR Inventory software makes inventory management on the construction sites fast, easy and real time.
By using a mobile app instead of manual tracking you decrease time spent on inventory management by 50% and get more accurate results.
Field employees use mobile devices for tracking equipment, tools and materials
between the warehouse and job sites. Mobile devices are used for the barcode or QR code scanning,
recording inventory receiving or usage, stock look up, data access and entry.
You can record everything that happens to the construction parts and materials:
- receiving in the warehouse
- storage and project allocation
- deliveries to the job sites
- materials usage per project
- return of unused materials
- job site assets utilization
- tools check in and check out
- and more...
Mobile devices send data to the back end cloud software in real time.
Administrators in the office have a full view of all job sites, service trucks and warehouses:
- current stock
- transactions history
- monetary value of the stocked and used parts
- materials usage per job
- how long an asset was in use for each project
- trends and statistics
Tracking Construction Inventory With NFC Or BLE Tags
Tired of manually scanning each item with QR codes?
Upgrade your construction inventory management to the next level with NFC and BLE tags! NFC tags allow for quick scanning with just a tap of your phone, while BLE tags automate the process completely, letting you track entire batches of materials with a single click.
If QR codes based inventory management is too time consuming for you,
you may want to replace QR codes with NFC or BLE tags.
- In order to scan an NFC tags you do not need to focus a smartphone camera, like you do for the QR code or a barcode scan. NFC tags can be scanned fast,
just by touching each item
with a mobile phone. No direct line of sight is required - a tag can be inside a casing or packaging.
- BLE tags further automate construction inventory management process. With the BLE tags you do not
need to scan each item. One click in the
mobile app adds
all assets and materials that you need to transfer to the batch.

Parts Inventory Management For Construction Projects
Stop project delays caused by missing spare parts!
A QR Inventory software empowers construction companies to keep track of spare parts in real time using mobile apps and smart tags (QR codes, NFC or BLE tags).
This ensures you always have the parts you need on hand, potentially saving you thousands of dollars and weeks of delays on each project.
Job site employees can track parts deliveries, loading spare parts to the service trucks, and using them for the jobs.
As soon as a transaction is recorded in the mobile app the part stock level is updated in the central database.
If an employee does not have a part he needs for a job on the service truck, he can quickly check part availability elsewhere in a mobile app.
He can quickly get a required part from the closest site, instead of ordering a new one and waiting for the delivery. This option prevents project delays due to missing parts,
and saves money on ordering extra materials.

You can opt for auto creating a purchase order when stock level falls below pre-set min.
Once a purchase order is created you can keep track of the order fulfillment.
Set due date, and receive an alert if any of the materials on the purchase order are not fulfilled on time.
A reorder points system in the QR Inventory software ensures that you always have required supplies, prevents project delays due to inventory shortages.
Non Stock Inventory Management For Construction Projects
Construction inventory management software allows you to track unique, non-stock parts and materials that you order on demand for each project.
Construction projects often require tracking of non-stock inventory. These are parts, materials and components that are unique to each construction project.
You do not stock these items. Instead, you order them on demand as needed or fabricate internally.
A QR Inventory software allows you to easily track non-stock materials without much data entry overhead.
You can import a commitment list for each project into the construction inventory software.
As you receive the materials, track deliveries in the mobile app using a QR code or barcode scanning.
At any moment you can check what you got and what is still outstanding.
Once non-stock inventory is in, use a mobile app to track it through the process. Track storage location,
fabrication steps, delivery and installation on the job site.
You can review real time reports on the project status, check WIP status and process history.
