A Better Way to Manage Materials and Boost Your Bottom Line

Article content provided by Trimble.

Manual and outdated ways of managing materials can create big problems for contractors. When you rely on old, inefficient processes, it can lead to frustration and wasted effort going back and forth with suppliers over email or getting updated pricing, when you may not even be aware that what you need is already sitting in the warehouse. These old ways of working often result in a number of issues:

• Double entering the same information.
• Slow approval times.
• Project and warehouse teams not being on the same page.
• Wasted materials.
• Costly billing mistakes and slow payments.

At Trimble, we know that these challenges create uncertainty in the construction process. That's why we're excited to introduce Trimble Materials, a new solution for managing your purchasing, inventory, and payments. This new tool is designed to give you better control over your material costs by tracking budgets and inventory.

Trimble Materials connects your office, field, warehouse, and suppliers. It helps you manage the whole process, from when a field worker needs something to when an invoice is paid. For example, field teams can easily ask for materials, and those requests can turn into orders with no extra manual work. Project managers and office teams can approve and track orders, and even compare quotes to find the best prices.

The solution also helps field workers record materials as they receive them, and provides a clear, real-time view of back orders for the office. It even helps you track inventory across multiple warehouses, so you always know what you have and where it is. The best part? It integrates with solutions like Trimble Construction One, bringing your systems together for a smoother and more efficient way of working. This means no more back-and-forth phone calls and emails to get an order in.

With Trimble Materials, everyone on your team can work from a single, reliable source of information. You get a complete view of all your purchasing and spending, giving you a competitive edge in today's world.
