BUILT FROM EXPERIENCE
A contractor’s answer to material tracking.
InventoryHQ is inventory management and job costing software for specialty trade contractors. It tracks material across warehouses, service trucks, and job sites, records usage and returns against each job, and reports actual material cost against the estimate. It integrates with JobNimbus, AccuLynx, and Leap, with QuickBooks Online in development. Plans start at $199 per month with unlimited users and a 30 day free trial.
Eric created InventoryHQ to solve a problem in his own contracting business: keeping track of materials across the warehouse, trucks, and job sites. He needed to know what was available, what each job used, and what those materials actually cost. Those everyday needs shaped InventoryHQ.
Clear expectations make accountability possible. Decide who records each delivery, transfer, and return, then make reviewing those records part of running the business. InventoryHQ gives contractors a shared place to put that routine into practice.
The problems that came before the software.
Buying what was already there
Materials were on the shelves and trucks, but without a reliable count, it was easy to order more than the business needed.
Losing track of movement
Materials went to jobs and unused supplies came back. Without a consistent record, it was hard to know what was used and what remained.
Understanding costs too late
Without material usage tied to each job, it was difficult to compare actual costs with estimates while the details were still fresh.
