Inventory Management for Construction Companies

In the construction industry, equipment is rarely kept in one place: excavators at construction site A, vibratory plates at construction site B, and tools somewhere in the truck. Inventory ONE gives your business a centralized overview of everything you own—including current location, serial number, and a complete record of asset values for insurance and tax purposes.

THE inventory management system for your business

Click on a topic to find out more.

With Inventory ONE, you can see at any time where which devices are located, who is currently using what, who has reserved what and when, or whether maintenance or inspection dates are due for certain devices. You can also view your stock at all times.

Inventory ONE also gives you a very good overview of your consumables, such as masking film, adhesive tape, nails, etc., at all times. When the specified quantity of a material is reached, you are automatically reminded of what needs to be reordered via the application and by e-mail.

To ensure that your appliances are always in good working order, appointments can be created so that you don't miss any maintenance or prescribed checks. You will be automatically reminded of the appointment in the app and by email if you wish.

With Inventory ONE, every authorized person has access to information about the devices. In addition to the overview, reservations and appointments, you can also upload information (such as user manuals) for a device, which can be accessed anytime and anywhere.

Inventory ONE can process scanned QR codes. Although these are not absolutely necessary, they save you a lot of time if you want to enter new devices or retrieve data on existing inventory. Inventory ONE offers QR codes that are ideal for this at a reasonable price (More info). But Inventory ONE can also process the existing barcodes on your devices.

Assignments in Inventory ONE are very flexible. Devices can be assigned not only to colleagues and employees, but also to external persons, projects, locations and rooms. You can also flexibly set the access rights in Inventory ONE. Employees can independently pass on and exchange equipment among themselves and document this in a verifiable manner. For example, if you assign a device to an employee, this action is actively confirmed by the employee concerned. The same happens in reverse when the equipment is returned.

When equipment is issued or loaned out, you can quickly find each individual piece of equipment using our detailed search function. You can also specify whether employees can search the entire equipment or only for individual devices assigned to them.

To organize your operating resources in the best possible way, you need the option of reserving individual tools and machines directly in the system. This is exactly what Inventory ONE makes very easy to do. This practical function will help you to plan the use and availability of operating resources well. This avoids hassle and no one will be unpleasantly surprised if, for example, a piece of equipment that is urgently needed is not available.

If certain devices cause problems or are damaged, employees can record this directly in the app. In their overview, those responsible can always see whether a new problem has been reported and can therefore react in good time. This prevents the problem from being remembered until someone already needs the device.

With Inventory ONE, you can see the "life cycle" of all devices. How long has it been in your company, who has used it and for how long, and what was its overall utilization? When was it broken, when was it repaired and when was it serviced? This information is not only helpful as proof, but also when planning the purchase of new equipment. Our software makes the complete documentation of your equipment very easy.

For the initial equipment of new employees or for recurring projects, Inventory ONE supports you in issuing the required equipment. In this case, lists can be defined which equipment is issued as standard. This saves you a lot of time with recurring tasks.

Have you already recorded your devices in a large Excel list or have you been using other device management software? In this case, we will be happy to help you move to Inventory ONE. With our data import, the switch is usually straightforward. And if the existing data is a little more complex, we will be happy to help you with the import.

Inventory ONE was developed to make day-to-day work in the construction industry much easier. It may make sense to integrate the application into your IT environment. If you need interfaces for this, please contact us.

Inventory ONE is currently available in German, English, French and Italian. Other languages will follow. If you urgently need another language, please let us know. Our experts will try to help as quickly as possible.

Case Study: Construction Company After Theft of Items Without Serial Numbers

A medium-sized construction company in the Ruhr region experienced a break-in at a construction site—three angle grinders, two drills, and a leveling device were stolen. When filing the police report and the insurance claim, the company was unable to provide serial numbers for any of the devices. The insurance company settled the claim based only on the current market value without individual documentation. Since implementing Inventory ONE, every piece of equipment is recorded with its serial number, photo, and purchase price. In the event of another theft, complete documentation is available as an export in less than five minutes.

Every tool counts.

Systematically record and manage hand tools

Construction site tool management begins with the complete recording of all hand tools - from spirit levels to impact drills. Each tool is given a unique designation, ideally supplemented by a serial number or a QR Code. This makes it possible to track where a tool is at any time and who last used it. A digital construction inventory list makes this recording much easier and eliminates the need for manual lists.

Losses can quickly occur, especially with frequently used small appliances, without clear allocation. Employees should document tools when they collect and return them - preferably directly via smartphone app or tablet. This creates a complete usage history, which is also helpful in the event of damage or liability issues.

Keeping an eye on large appliances - appliance management on the construction site

Construction machinery such as excavators, cranes and compactors are both capital-intensive and maintenance-intensive. Professional equipment management for construction companies ensures that maintenance intervals are adhered to, locations are documented and capacity utilization is made transparent. This helps you avoid unplanned breakdowns and expensive repairs that jeopardize construction progress. Managing construction site equipment also means planning ahead instead of acting reactively.

A separate digital appliance sheet with technical data, maintenance log and usage history is recommended for each large appliance. This sheet can be stored centrally and made accessible to all authorized employees. Modern software solutions even enable automatic maintenance reminders by email or push notification.

Construction materials management benefits enormously from a sophisticated software solution that maps inventories in real time. Inventory ONE is a digital inventory management system that has been specially developed for use in construction companies - from tool recording to cross-location inventory management in the construction industry. The software runs on any PC, tablet or smartphone and is also available as an app for Android and iOS. This means that all employees have access to current stocks at any time and from anywhere.

Ordering processes can be automated with Inventory ONE: The software automatically reminds you as soon as consumables in the warehouse are running low. Bottlenecks and overfilled warehouses are therefore a thing of the past. All data is stored exclusively in German data centers and complies with the requirements of the GDPR.

Software makes the difference.
