Rock Creek Woodworks, a construction company from Louisiana, improved their inventory management practices by implementing the best barcode inventory system. Specializing in light manufacturing and installing custom cabinets, the construction company needed a way to manage the materials and components used for each job.

Prior to adopting the inventory software, they grappled with manual tracking of various items essential for cabinet production, including wood, hardware, adhesives, other essential components, and construction equipment. These issues often led to material shortages in their warehouse during cabinet projects. Lack of visibility and accountability resulted in difficulties tracking stock usage. They also coped with inconsistencies and disruptions caused by natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to work stoppages. The absence of a system hindered both operational efficiency and the ability to grow the business. That was when they asked themselves, “What is the best construction company inventory system?”

The inventory software implementation was seamless, requiring minimal adaptation. The company now efficiently employs the inventory system daily, conducting sheet goods counts to update material usage records, with a primary focus on using the issuing and receiving inventory functions. These features have become essential to their material tracking and management processes. Josh Harris, a company representative, noted that the system is a “lifesaver in our shop.” Additionally, the Reports feature proved invaluable, allowing the company to analyze daily operational data for insights into inventory and material consumption, enabling proactive stocking of frequently used items.

After integrating the inventory system into their operations, the company noticed a notable enhancement in accountability. The issue of inventory disappearing without a trace was resolved with the system establishing a comprehensive and dependable paper trail, meticulously recording each material’s movement. With this inventory tracking solution, the company managed to maintain consistent control over their stock levels, ensuring a well-stocked warehouse for timely project material supply, resulting in significant cost savings and eliminating project delays due to material shortages. The construction company sees the inventory management system as a valuable tool, with promising potential for future business growth.
