Construction & field ops

Know where tools and materials are across jobs, crews, and sites with consistent handoffs. Reduce loss and downtime by tracking check-outs, returns, and transfers with audit-ready history.

Reduce job-site downtime and shrink: keep tools and materials traceable across crews, trucks, and jobs with consistent handoffs and export-ready history.

Why inventory operations matter in Construction & field ops

Construction teams lose time and money when tools and materials “walk” between jobs. Strong inventory operations make every handoff traceable—so crews show up with the right gear, projects stay on schedule, and shrink is reduced across sites.

Common challenges

Most teams start here. IO helps you reduce drift, keep accuracy high, and maintain a trail you can trust.

Tools and materials move constantly

Jobs shift, crews rotate, and inventory follows. Track transfers with destinations so teams always know what’s on which site and truck.

Locations screen

Loss and duplicate purchasing

When inventory isn’t visible, teams repurchase to avoid risk. Accountability and clean history reduce unnecessary spend.

Audit trail UI

Slow handoffs between jobs

Handoffs fail when lists are informal. Standardize check-out/return and transfers so crews start work with the right gear.

What to track for construction & field ops

• Tools and materials by crew, truck, and job site • Transfers between jobs with source/destination • Assignments and custody for high-value items • Exceptions (lost, damaged) with notes • Exports for closeout and replenishment

Typical workflow

01

Model jobs and trucks as locations

Set up job sites and vehicles so inventory has a clear place to live and move.

02

Standardize handoffs

Record transfers and check-outs so responsibility is clear as crews change.

03

Count high-risk areas

Spot check high-value tools and high-velocity materials to prevent drift.

04

Close out with exports

Export lists and history for billing, job closeout, and future reference.

FAQ

Can we track inventory by job site?

Yes—treat each job as a location and record transfers as the job evolves.

Does this help reduce loss?

Yes—clear handoffs plus custody history significantly reduces “missing” tools.

Can crews update inventory in the field?

Yes—mobile-friendly workflows keep data current where work happens.

What about closeout reporting?

Exports provide clean lists and history for closeout and billing support.

How do we start?

Start with your trucks + top jobs + high-value tools, then expand coverage.
