“Do you have it in stock?”
Someone asks if it’s in stock, and somebody has to go check out back.
A bag of cement is counted by the unit and by the pallet, rebar by the bar and by the bundle, and the system only knows one of the two. When someone asks how much there is, somebody walks to the back.
And whoever buys on account takes the goods with a handwritten delivery note that later has to be found in order to bill it.
What you can open today
I don’t have a building materials yard among my clients yet, so there is no case to show you here. What you see below is the yard demo, already built, and it handles what gets complicated for you: stock by the unit and by the bundle, running accounts and delivery notes.
Open it and click everything. It is loaded with made-up products, prices and clients, and you can put together a whole quote to see how it comes out.
Yusta Corralón: Sales by the unit or by the bundle, running accounts per job site and orders to suppliers. The interface is in Spanish today. Which language it ships in is set per build.
What goes into the one for a building materials yard
This is what I’d put into a yard’s system, and it’s what you can try in the demo:
- Stock by the unit and by the bundle at the same time, with the conversion built in: you sell a bag or a pallet and the count still adds up.
- A price list with different levels: someone who buys by the truckload doesn’t pay the same as someone taking two bags.
- A quote that becomes an order, and an order that becomes a delivery note, without entering anything again.
- A running account for each client, with what they took, what they paid and what they owe.
- The day’s cash and who entered each transaction.
- WhatsApp from the client’s record, to send the quote or say the material arrived.
They all start with the same things: users with permissions, a daily cash register, a dashboard with payments and due dates in plain sight, and WhatsApp from the client’s record. You open it from the shop’s computer and from your phone, and the database keeps every minute of the last seven days.
What it costs
From USD 1,000, paid once.
The tier depends on how many screens it needs and what it connects to. Base starts at USD 1,000, is delivered in 3 to 5 weeks and comes with 30 days of adjustments and 1 month of maintenance included. The quote comes within 24 hours, with the scope in writing.
The free option for a building materials yard is an Excel spreadsheet with formulas set up by someone who doesn’t know your warehouse, or a retail system that doesn’t understand that a bag and a pallet are the same product.
Here you pay once and there is no monthly subscription. The repository, the domain and the database stay in your account, in your name. See the four tiers
