The yard · Lumber & building
Species, grades, and deliveries tracked the way the yard actually runs.
Practical workflows for lumber and building supply — not generic retail counts.
Practical tools for lumber and building supply operations without overbuilt ERP complexity.
Track stock by species, dimension, grade, and quantity with clear yard-level visibility.
Create, track, and fulfill customer orders from intake through final delivery.
Plan and track deliveries with route notes and customer confirmation built in.
Generate accurate quotes using current inventory pricing and customer context.
Get notifications when stock drops below configured thresholds so reorders happen on time.
See what moves, what sits, and how margins perform from a single reporting view.
Raise purchase orders, receive goods against them, and keep vendor records and lead times current without leaving the yard system.
Statistical reorder proposals driven by sales history, ABC classification, and safety stock — so you buy the right amount before the shelf runs out.
Run a points program at the counter — contractors earn on every purchase and redeem at checkout, with tier multipliers and full transaction history.
Set credit limits, flag past-due accounts, and enforce holds by channel — hard block at the register, soft warning for counter and phone orders.
Accrue rebates against every qualifying receipt and reconcile at period end — with a full audit trail and variance notes for any amount that does not match the vendor statement.
Track serialized products from receiving through sale, and manage paint and chemical batches by lot number — with expiry visibility and warranty duration on every serial lookup.
Send RFQs to vendors, compare bids side by side, and convert an accepted quote to a purchase order — all without leaving the counter workflow.
Sync your catalog and live inventory to an online storefront — contractors order online against real availability, and orders flow straight into fulfillment.
Scores reflect common buyer-facing positioning (not an exhaustive RFP matrix). Yes = clearly advertised or widely accepted strength; Partial = varies by edition, add-on, or configuration; No = not a marketed advantage; Unclear = insufficient public detail.
