4 Uses of EBMS for the Building Materials Industry

Each industry is different and requires specific solutions to manage business processes. Those in the Building Materials industry need a powerful tool that can help streamline workflow and make project management easier. What if you could find a software solution to connect manufacturing, job costing, inventory, and financials in one? EBMS is that solution.  Here are just a few of the ways EBMS could help create a smooth operation for you and your team.

Building Packages

EBMS makes it easier to send proposals and quotes by allowing the user to create stock and custom building packages. You can price items such as product, labor, and services as a kit rather than individual prices. The costs, pricing, and profits of these building packages can be calculated based on perpetual inventory costs or current costs.

Managing Inventory

Working in Building Materials comes with a massive amount of inventory. Manage your roofing materials, lumber, and more with our software, which includes tools to manage purchasing, kitting, serialized items. You can also manage your inventory across multiple locations, which will allow an item to be purchased, stored, and sold from multiple locations, helpful if you have more than one store. There are also many more advanced options, and you can learn more about them here.

Random Length Metal

It’s a hassle to figure out what exactly a length of material will cost, but luckily EBMS makes it easy to calculate pricing and manage inventory for items based on the length without having to create inventory SKU numbers for each possible length. Use this powerful tool to create cut lists, determine cost and pricing for custom items like wood panels, replacement windows, or other specialty applications.

Made-To-Order Product

If a lot of what your business sells is made-to-order, then the manufacturing and kitting module of EBMS is a great way to manage those items. Calculate and print cut lists for doors, windows, and other custom made-to-order items. Pricing formulas can also be created based on options or product attributes for those custom-made products. If your business is a made-to-order shop, then you need this module.
