About This Automation

Ordering materials for a roofing job involves calculating quantities, checking stock, confirming supplier pricing, and tracking delivery against a tight job start date. Doing this by phone, email, and spreadsheet leaves coordinators chasing suppliers and crews instead of planning the next job.

The automated version calculates requirements, drafts purchase orders, confirms delivery windows, and updates inventory and invoicing the moment materials arrive. Jobs start on schedule with fewer delays and less manual chasing.

Key features
Calculates material quantities directly from job takeoffs
Compares required materials against current stock automatically
Drafts purchase orders for any shortfall without manual entry
Confirms supplier pricing, availability, and delivery windows
Notifies the site crew as soon as a delivery is confirmed
Updates inventory and invoice records once delivery is verified

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Job Scheduled Detectedtrigger

A job entering the schedule with a start date inside 10 days automatically starts the ordering workflow.

2. Material Requirements Runs

The automation pulls the takeoff quantities, checks current stock, and drafts a purchase order for the shortfall.

3. Manager Approves Large Order

Orders over $2,000 route to a manager for a quick approval before the purchase order goes out.

4. Purchase Order Sent

The approved or auto-cleared purchase order is emailed to the supplier automatically.

5. Supplier Coordination Confirms Order

The automation confirms pricing, availability, and a firm delivery window directly with the supplier.

6. Delivery Schedule Posted

The confirmed delivery window is posted to the job site crew channel automatically.

7. Warehouse Manager Verifies Delivery

Warehouse Manager checks the physical delivery against the purchase order and marks it received.

8. Inventory & Invoice Sync Updates

Stock levels are updated and the supplier invoice is filed for payment as soon as delivery is verified.
