Field Materials Unveils Inventory Module to Boost AI Construction Procurement

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Field Materials, a leading AI procurement platform for the construction industry, today announced the launch of its new Inventory module, designed to streamline inventory management and procurement processes for construction projects. Unlike traditional inventory management tools integrated into construction ERPs, this mobile-first solution is specifically tailored to improve the experience for field crews and service technicians, enabling instant access to real-time inventory data.

The new Inventory module integrates seamlessly with Field Materials' existing modules for quotes, orders, invoices, and receipts. By providing field crews with instant visibility into warehouse inventory, the module allows them to request materials in real-time, bridging the gap between the field and back office. This helps create a smoother, more efficient workflow for construction teams.

Field Materials' new inventory module tracks all transactions, including restock orders, job leftovers, manual adjustments, and transfers between warehouses. Foremen and superintendents can use the mobile app to check inventory levels and submit requests to the warehouse without needing to call the office. Warehouse managers can confirm and fulfill these orders, scheduling deliveries and pickups as needed. Field crews can track all requested items and see when deliveries are scheduled, ensuring real-time updates.

For contractors with an approval process for field requisitions, the module can automatically split requisitions between warehouses and vendors, with the system flagging items already present in the warehouse. Field service technicians can also easily check out items from their vans using the app and assign them to specific service jobs.

A Modern Solution for Construction Industry Challenges

“Adoption of inventory management built into construction ERPs has been limited due to the poor user experience and the inability of field staff to access ERPs,” said Victor Gane, Co-founder and COO of Field Materials. “We are disrupting the status quo by providing a modern mobile-first solution that tightly integrates with our AI procurement modules.”

David Clemons, Director of Self Perform at Dempsey Construction Co. of Carlsbad, CA, also expressed his enthusiasm for the new module: “I worked for some of the most iconic contractors in California. Managing inventory and empowering the field teams to know what's in stock has been notoriously difficult at every single company. Field Materials Inventory module is a game changer for the industry because it ties procurement to inventory supported by a powerful mobile experience.”
