Managing your materials scheduling and ordering for
“Plan forward projects and materials as early as possible with [your] merchant.”
Those important words of advice come from Nick Oates, the Managing Director of the National Buying Group, which works with manufacturers and merchants across the UK. Joanna Mulgrew, HBXL Group Managing Director, and Nick Oates both took part in an FMB webinar recently to discuss the pressing issue of delays and shortages.
Being on top of your materials from the cost of them to the ordering has never been more important. Inflation is an issue. Delays are causing problems. So you want to do everything you can to protect your profit. Thankfully there are some really useful tools that come with EstimatorXpress, which will help you manage your scheduling and ordering.
Tom will use a pre-prepared estimate to demonstrate the material scheduling and ordering tools that come with EstimatorXpress. Using the build programme, he’ll show you the automated resource scheduling process. He’ll also take a look at all the time based reports, including opening them, exporting them and printing them, plus saving your favourite reports. He’ll also explain how you can use the software to help book in contractors and plant hire for example.
If you have EsimatorXpress, then this live stream is one not to be missed!
