Materials and supplier orders involve identifying needs, requesting quotes, chasing responses, and manually tracking deliveries across email and spreadsheets. Manual coordination wastes time on follow-ups, creates duplicate orders, and delays project timelines.
Automation captures order requests centrally, manages supplier communication, tracks delivery status automatically, and syncs data to accounting. Teams spend less time chasing suppliers and more time on site work.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A team member submits a material request via a form or message, including item, quantity, and preferred supplier.
The automation writes the request to a Google Sheet to create a central record of all pending orders.
The automation sends a standardized email to the supplier with the item details and deadline, using a template to ensure consistency.
The automation checks for a supplier reply and escalates to the team if no response arrives within a set timeframe.
Once the quote is approved, the automation creates a purchase order record to lock in the commitment.
The automation periodically checks with the supplier for delivery updates and logs them in the tracking sheet.
When goods are received, the automation sends a notification to the team and updates the order status to complete.
