The Challenge
A very important piece of the inventory management puzzle comes from organizing your warehouse. For Four Quarters Mechanical, their challenge came in the form of an unorganized shop. With materials everywhere – floor included – this made for a very inneficient way of operating.
Add to that an inability to track anything – inventory, count, materials coming back from jobs – and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Field supervisors became extremely frustrated due to the fact they couldn’t find the materials they needed and, without proper tracking, the team was unable to get an accurate idea of which materials were coming back from jobs. This ultimately impacted both their bottom line and team morale.
The Solution
For Four Quarters Mechanical, implementing Ply was not a want, but a need. The inventory audit and intake process was a group effort, with both teams working together to clear space, barcode materials, and organize the warehouse. Brandon Sady, Director of Business Development, described this as having a huge impact because they were suddenly able to look at every single piece of inventory they had and how much there actually was.
And it didn’t stop there. While they were previously having issues with items coming back from jobs, now they were able to track everything. This meant that the team was aware of the materials that were on trucks for different jobs and which ones were coming back from construction sites.
Other differentiators that made a big impact for the team at Four Quarters were Ply’s analytics and the platform’s ease of use. Warehouse managers and technicians picked it up in a week, demonstrating just how intuitive the app is, be it in a warehouse or on-the-go.
The Results
With Ply, there’s been a boost in visibility. Service directors are now aware of which items are on the trucks at all times and through analytics, the team can see what’s being used and what isn’t in order to purchase smarter.
Four Quarters Mechanical’s whole business is now more efficient and organized, keeping their inventory updated with what’s been coming back from construction sites and managing their warehouse in just a few clicks. Both its team and the warehouse’s floor – yes, we mean the actual floor – are thankful for the change.
