Materials
Your prices, with the date you last checked them
The catalog is the backbone of the takeoff. Each item carries a unit, a cost, a purchase pack size, an optional waste factor, a supplier and the date its price changed.
Catalog and takeoffs
Supplier directory
Suppliers with contact details and notes, linked to the items you buy from them.
Purchase packs and waste
Quantities round up to whole packs after waste, and both steps appear on the takeoff line.
Assemblies per style
Posts, panels, rails, pickets, caps, concrete, fasteners, gate hardware, removal and disposal items, each on its own basis.
Example data, clearly marked
Starter styles and materials are labeled as examples until you confirm your own costs.
Purchasing and inventory
Purchase orders and receiving
Create supplier-ready documents from approved takeoffs and track draft, ordered, partly received and received.
Inventory
Keep on-hand, reserved, available and incoming separate, with job usage, returns and adjustments.
Branch transfers
Record stock movements between branches so each location's available balance stays clear.
Supplier prices remain under your control. Purchase orders are only marked ordered when a person records that action.
