SupplyPro GM For Residential Electrical Teams

With SupplyPro GM, you can monitor, accept or request new SupplyPro orders and changes directly in SupplyPro GM — orders will come directly into your new order inbox from the builder. In the simple-to-follow interface, you can confirm all information about the job at a glance, including price, drawings, specs and supply lists. If you’re working with builders that are not using BuildPro, we can assist by automating the retrieval of new orders from other builder web portals. You can also enter and schedule new orders and changes manually into the system from other sources. 

We know material sourcing is critical for you. With SupplyPro GM, you can translate Builder PO item references and intentions into a ready-to-order Bill of Materials. Issue inventory pick lists or PO’s for drop-ship to site with the click of a button. Multiple deliveries are easy to set up, ensuring that your crews have the materials they need for the current task. New POs can be sent on-demand or automatically at pre-specified points in the process. SupplyPro GM also enables you to track individualized serialized units such as main panels, smarthome and security-related items from the day they land in your warehouse. During construction and after, you will have all the information on individual units at your fingertips, including model and make, date and location of installation, service issues, warranty period, etc. 

Scheduling, dispatching and tracking are some of the most important areas in which SupplyPro GM can improve your operations. You can use it to schedule any type of Electrical job, match the ideal crews to each construction phase, track critical permits, and dispatch digital work orders to the field app to ensure your crews arrive at every job fully informed. 

You can view your work orders by date, builder, subdivision, city, crew, supervisor and more. When you receive a new order and are ready to assign work, it only takes a tap of a button to see all your crew schedules, the stage of their current job progress and when they will be ready to start a new job. Assign field crews to tasks as needed with simple drag and drop, or quickly generate schedules for multiple crews and jobs based on work type, location, skill level and availability. 

SupplyPro GM’s features can help you deal effectively with scheduling for multiple tasks at different stages of construction. Trenching and underground work is an early phase. When framing is complete, it’s time to send a crew for the rough-in phase. Trim out and finishing comes when the house is almost complete. The timing of each one of these phases tends to be a moving target dependent on the completion of work by other trades or external issues such as permitting.

Throughout the job, you will have access to immediate notification if your builder alters the schedule or issues change orders that affect your job. Coupled with the ability to quickly know the exact who, when and where of your field resources in real-time, this can improve your response time and reduce crew downtime as well. 

You can design a step by step workflow for each set of tasks —underground, rough-in, trim, finish and service — that is customized to make the most sense for your operation and the specific job. Customized workflow checklists can ensure the quality of work and keep your crews organized. Plus, you can visually track field progress from the office throughout the day, with color-coded status updates. The field app works even where the internet is not available.

And what if mistakes or something unexpected happens? A last-minute request for changes, a discrepancy between specs and verbal communications? Your team in the field can initiate a request for an extra PO and support the request with comments and site images, keeping your back office and the builder aware of any issues and additional charges in real-time. You can even allow your field team to reschedule jobs if necessary. All the stakeholders, including you, are notified immediately, giving you the opportunity to quickly relocate idle resources or solve supply problems that are holding you up. 

SupplyPro GM lets you pay your employees and subcontractors by the hour or completed tasks. For those who need to clock in, the process is simple. Electrical crews can begin and end their days with the tap of a button on their mobile app, all in the same software you’ll use to pay them.

When the job is done, the builder gets instantly notified. Your field crews can also take photos, complete punch lists and record the details and proper completion of the job. After all, you only get paid for work you can document. 

SupplyPro GM automatically queues up every builder PO as an open invoice, ready to be issued when work is completed. Invoices flow seamlessly to popular accounting systems such as QuickBooks and Sage Construction Solutions.

Just because construction is complete, doesn’t mean your work is over. When the homeowner takes possession of the house, you can transition the history and information from a builder’s file to a homeowner file. Having all the information easily accessible and filed by homeowner name can make warranty work easier.
