Inventory Management

"But we Don't Have an Inventory..."

Contractors often say "we don't need an inventory management module because we do not keep an inventory." But most contractors have a warehouse or a yard with excess supplies that have been returned from completed jobs. This is inventory and it has value that wisely used could add to the bottom line.

Quality, excess supplies that have been returned from completed jobs have already been paid for. Using these supplies on a new job is like a discount or cost avoidance strategy...use materials that have already been paid for so there's no need to buy more!

"Inventory from the warehouse transfers to the balance sheet"

John Stenger
President
Stenger & Company

We have uh, a large uh, residential heating and cooling contractor uh, that's probably using the pull list to, the, the, the most, if you will. Before his task was trying to determine what went into a job. He has a rough and a set and a finish phase and it was difficult for him to pull items out of his inventory and then post them into the computer and make that a seamless process. And he'll process 300 to 400 jobs a month. ComputerEase has the ability for us to generate a pull list in Excel or even inside of ComputerEase now, and then the client basically just imports that pull list, he uses Excel, he pulls that pull list out of Excel, it instantly creates a purchase order, if you will, and at that point he gives it to his warehouse person. The warehouse person then looks to see if he's got that stuff in stock. If he's got the inventory in stock, he just hits pull or fulfill the pull list. And then seamless integration then takes over and that inventory from the warehouse transfers from the balance sheet right over into the P&L in the costs of good sold section for the client. If some of those items are not in the warehouse, from that pull list, the warehouse, the purchasing agent can then generate a purchase order directly from that pull list, which has cut down probably two or three steps of a traditional uh, process.
