Where small shops actually lose material margin
You did not lose the money at the supply house. You lost it at the truck. Fittings used and not logged. A liner cut and not charged. A camera head walked off a job. The invoice went out clean, but the truck is short and nobody knows why.
Material tracking for plumbing does not have to be an ERP. It has to be a simple system every tech actually uses.
Tie material to the job, not to a spreadsheet
FieldMetrx™ ties material use to the job it belongs on. The tech taps what he used from a short list built for the trade. It lands on the invoice, it comes off the truck count, and the reorder list builds itself.
- ·Truck by truck inventory that reflects what is actually on the van.
- ·Materials added to the job at the point of use, not from memory at 6 pm.
- ·Auto flag when a truck falls below par on the parts you always run.
Stop the invoice leak
The most common leak in a small plumbing shop is billed labor with unbilled material. A tech runs the job, uses fittings, forgets to log them, and the invoice ships without the parts. Multiply by every truck, every week, and the number gets ugly.
When material goes on the invoice at the moment it is used, you bill for what you used, every time.
Built for the shop that hates spreadsheets
This is not accounting software. It is a truck stock tool that a tech will actually open. If it takes more than a couple of taps, it will not get used, and if it does not get used, the tracking is a fiction.
FieldMetrx™ is built so the fastest way to log the part is the way the tech already works.
Frequently asked
Do I need a barcode scanner?
No. Taps on the phone are faster than scanning for the short parts list a residential truck actually runs.
Can I set par levels per truck?
Yes. Each truck has its own par list and reorder alerts, because a hydro truck stocks different than a snake truck.
Does material tracking work with the flat rate price book?
Yes. Material used on a job maps to the price book line item, so cost of goods stays honest.
