Build a materials catalogue, organise stock into scannable locations, and run stock-takes the office actually approves — and give warehouse staff a locked-down view that shows stock only, never pricing or jobs.
QR rack & bin locations
Organise stock into named racks and bins and print a QR label for each, so anyone can find or scan a location in seconds.
Scan to hand out & receive
Warehouse staff hand out, receive and relocate stock from a phone by scanning a code — and every movement is logged with who, what and when.
Count-then-approve stock-takes
A worker counts a rack and the system flags the variances; the office approves or declines each one before stock changes, so a miscount never silently rewrites your numbers.
A daily low-stock email
Set a reorder point per material and FactoryMate emails your buyer a low-stock summary every morning — so you reorder before you run out, not after.
Costed at plan time
When a job is planned its materials are costed at that moment, so job costs don’t drift — and floor staff record what they actually use as they go.
Common questions
Can warehouse staff see job prices?
No — the warehouse role is limited to stock screens, with no pricing and no access to jobs.
How do stock-takes work?
A worker counts a rack and submits the count; FactoryMate flags the variances against what was expected, and the office approves or declines each one before any stock changes — so a miscount never silently rewrites your numbers.
Does it warn me before I run out?
Yes — set a reorder point per material and FactoryMate emails your buyer a low-stock summary each morning.
Does it raise purchase orders?
Not yet — FactoryMate tracks what you hold and what you use, and raising and managing purchase orders is on the roadmap. Today you reorder from the daily low-stock email.
