Construction inventory software FAQs
1. What does construction inventory management software do?
It tracks materials, tools, and equipment through receiving, storage, movement to sites, and sale: quantities per location, transfers recorded at both ends, unit conversions, restocking suggestions, and a handoff to accounting.
2. Who is it for - suppliers or contractors?
Primarily suppliers, distributors, and businesses such as interior design companies that manage physical inventory. Contractors can also use HandiFox to track materials, tools, and equipment across warehouses, yards, and service trucks. Job estimating, job costing, project scheduling, and project accounting remain outside HandiFox.
3. Can I track materials across several locations?
Yes. HandiFox tracks inventory by configured locations such as warehouses, yards, and service trucks. Transfers update quantities at both the source and destination, so stock movement stays recorded.
4. Can I buy by the pallet and sell by the box?
Yes. Units of measure are defined per item and converted during purchasing, counting, and invoicing, and each unit can carry its own barcode.
5. Can I ship an order in parts?
Yes. The picking and packing procedure supports partial shipment, so an order can go out with what is available and stay open for the rest.
6. What does the inventory total value report show?
The money tied up in stock, by item and by location, alongside stock movement, purchasing, and sales reports.
7. Does it do job costing?
No. HandiFox tracks what material exists, where it is, and what it costs to buy. Allocating that cost to a project budget is a job costing system's work.
