FastBuild Inventory Management gives construction teams a simple operational ledger for materials and tools across warehouses and job sites, with project usage, low-stock visibility, tool accountability, and reusable packages.
Inventory Management answers what materials and tools you have, where they are, and where they went without turning FastBuild into an ERP. Every stock change is recorded in one traceable movement ledger.
Receive stock into a warehouse, issue consumables to a construction site or task, transfer stock between locations, reconcile a counted quantity, and assign tools to employees. Project reports reuse the same movements to show material quantities and estimated cost.
Reusable packages speed up common issues such as an electrician toolbox or site-start kit. A package is only a template: FastBuild checks every constituent item before confirmation and then creates the ordinary underlying movements and tool assignments.
Minimum-stock thresholds highlight shortages and can notify responsible users. Role permissions keep viewing, receiving, issuing, adjustment, reporting, and settings separate. Inventory Management is a Premium FastBuild feature.
