Manage materials and store stock
Track material receipts, consumption and current stock on each site so project operations know what to reorder and finance can reconcile with vendor bills.
Each project has its own on-site store. Materials come in from vendors (received against a PO), are consumed on-site by contractors, and the running balance is visible on the Store stock view.
