How It Works

A complete material lifecycle - from requirement to consumption.

2

Raise Indent from Site

3

Receive at Store

Record a GRN against a PO (or as a direct receipt). Attach delivery documents if needed.

4

Issue to Works

Issue materials against work orders. Site supervisor acknowledges receipt. Stock auto-adjusted.

5

Track Consumption

Compare actual vs planned consumption. Identify variances. Drill down to understand wastage.

Turn Wastage Into Savings

Most sites lose 5-15% of materials to wastage and pilferage. Site Setu helps you identify and eliminate these losses.

Inventory Software FAQs

Short answers to the questions teams usually ask before switching from registers and spreadsheets.

What should construction inventory management software track?

It should track the full material trail: indent, PO, GRN, stock balance, inter-store transfer, issue, return, and adjustments with project or location references.

Can Site Setu handle multiple stores and project locations?

Yes. Site Setu supports main stores, project stores, and subcontractor stores so teams can review stock position and material movement across sites without separate registers.

How does inventory software improve procurement control?

It keeps indents, receipts, and stock movement connected. That means procurement teams can see what was requested, what arrived, what is pending, and what has already been issued to works.

How quickly can a contractor start using the inventory workflow?

Most teams can start with one project, a clean material master, and their recurring transaction types first. Once the daily flow is stable, they can expand to more sites and stores.
