Yes, Field Materials supports connecting multiple companies within a single ERP instance. You can assign users to specific ERP companies, allowing each user to seamlessly switch between the companies they have access to when working in Field Materials.

‍

The decision typically involves several stakeholders because Field Materials touches multiple parts of your operation. Your operations leadership, purchasing, and project management team need to understand the process changes and buy into the new workflows. Your accounting team needs to be comfortable with the ERP integration and how changes impact the AP process.  The IT team usually wants to review security and technical requirements.

We're happy to present to different groups and answer questions specific to each team's concerns. Getting everyone aligned upfront makes implementation much smoother and ensures you get maximum value from the system.

Because Field Materials requires integration with your ERP and training for your team, a traditional "free trial" isn't practical. However, the document demo and an integration call give you a very realistic preview of how the system works with your actual data.

Many customers start with a smaller scope - maybe one division or a limited set of users - to prove the value before expanding company-wide. This lets you see real results without the complexity of a full rollout.

We're also confident enough in the value that we structure our contracts to align with your success. If the system doesn't deliver the benefits we've discussed, that becomes a problem for us too.

After the initial discovery call and a product demo, the best next step is usually a document demo where we use your actual quotes, delivery slips, and invoices to show exactly how the system would work with your real documents. This gives you a much better sense of the practical benefits than a generic demonstration.

If you have specific technical questions, we can arrange an integration demo with our technical staff to go through the specifics of integrating with your ERP. Or alternatively, you can loop in your IT team to review security and technical requirements.

If needed, we can also arrange calls with reference customers in your area or trade who can share their real-world experience with the system. Sometimes hearing from peers about their results is more valuable than any sales presentation.

You can definitely start with a single module. A lot of customers begin with just purchase orders and receiving to get their field teams comfortable, then add invoicing a few months later. Others start with just the invoice module to help their AP team, then expand to full procurement.

You might also roll out by division - maybe start with one branch or the branch that has the most procurement activity, then expand to others once you've worked out the process. The pricing adjusts based on which modules you're using and the volume, so you're not paying for functionality you're not ready to implement yet.

This approach reduces the adoption friction for your team and lets you quickly see results in one area before tackling the whole operation.

Yes, multiple companies can be managed under one contract and single login:

• Pricing is based on the total volume across all companies in the enterprise
• Each company has a separate ERP connection and will need to go through their own setup (separate cost codes, cost types, etc.)
• Administrator users will have enterprise-level login that gives them access to all companies

Monthly pricing is based on:

1. Number of subscribed modules
   (Purchase Orders, Packing Slips, Invoices, Receipts, Inventory, Prefab)
2. Order or invoice volume

Includes: Unlimited users, unlimited locations, one ERP integration, dedicated account manager for ongoing support.

In addition, if you would like white-glove onboarding, we charge a one-time fee for the training and onboarding.

Better procurement processes give you the foundation to take on more jobs and larger and more complex projects. When you have real-time visibility into costs and schedules, you will be more competitive in bidding and more confident in your project execution.

The data and reporting capabilities help you learn from each project to improve estimating and operations on future jobs. Understanding your true material costs on each job and ability to negotiate better pricing based on your volume across jobs makes you a smarter, more efficient contractor.

Many customers find that the professional image of having sophisticated systems helps them win work with larger clients who expect that level of operational sophistication.

Most customers see ROI in the first year.

The biggest impact is time savings - project managers or purchasing staff spending less time on data entry and procurement, AP teams processing invoices faster, field teams not needing to call the office.

Cost savings come from preventing duplicate orders and rogue/maverick spending, catching invoice errors, and having better budget controls. When you can spot problems early and make corrections, you avoid issues like projects going off schedule or over budget.

Improved communication and visibility often lead to better project outcomes. When everyone has real-time information about material status, schedules stay on track and customer satisfaction improves.

The exact ROI varies by company size and your processes. Read this article for more details on understanding ROI of building materials software. Also reach out to us to get an estimate of the savings tailored to your business.

Change management is always a challenge, and we've learned a lot about how to make transitions smoother. The key is showing quick wins early in the process. When field teams see they can check inventory in the warehouse from the palm of their hand instead of calling the office, they get excited about the technology.

We focus on training people in their specific roles rather than trying to teach everyone everything. A superintendent needs to know different things than AP staff. By making the training relevant to each person's daily work, adoption happens much faster.

We also recommend starting with your most tech-savvy or influential team members. When the rest of the team sees these early adopters having success, resistance tends to fade quickly.

Every customer gets a dedicated Customer Success Manager who handles your training, answers questions, and helps optimize your use of the system. These aren't call center representatives - they're experienced team members based in the US who have experience with construction procurement and only handle a limited number of accounts so they're never too busy to help.

Your CSM stays with you throughout your contract, so they get to know your business and your team. Need to train a new employee six months after implementation? Your CSM will handle that. Have questions about new features? They're your go-to person.

This is very different from companies that route you to different support representatives each time you call. We believe relationships matter, especially when you're changing important business processes.

Implementation time varies based on your company size and complexity, but most customers are fully trained and are using the system within 30 days. The connection to your ERP is usually done in a couple of hours.

Most of the time goes into training your team and adjusting your processes. We work with you to build a custom training roadmap based on how many users you have and which modules you're implementing. Some customers prefer a gradual rollout, starting with one division or a few key users before expanding company-wide.

Yes, everything exports to Excel or CSV formats so you can manipulate the data however you need. Many customers use our reports directly, but others pull the data into their own business intelligence tools or executive dashboards.

The integration with your ERP means financial data flows seamlessly into your existing month-end reporting processes. You're not creating a separate system that needs to be reconciled - everything ties back to your main accounting system.

Budget control is probably one of the biggest benefits customers see. Instead of finding out about budget overruns at month-end, you get real-time visibility into spending as it happens.

The system pulls budgets from your ERP broken by cost code and cost type and tracks committed costs against those budgets as soon as the purchase orders are created and expenses are logged (e.g., receipts). If you're hitting budget limits on a particular cost code due to a particular PO, you will get notified about it.

Project managers can see exactly where they stand financially at any point by accessing the Job Costs report that shows committed (ordered), received, invoiced, and paid costs for each project in real-time. Track these costs against either the budget synchronized from your ERP or against the uploaded bill of materials from your estimation software.

The reporting gives you visibility that most construction companies have never had before. You can see spending by project, vendor, cost code, even material/equipment, or time period. The job costs report shows what's been ordered, delivered, invoiced, and paid for the job at the material and unit level.

Budget versus actuals update in real-time as purchase orders are created and invoices are processed. You can drill down from high-level summaries to individual line items to understand exactly where money is being spent.

Reports can be exported to CSV, Excel, or PDF.

• Create a separate warehouse and assign it to the project (in the Project Details tab)
• Any orders placed for this job and delivered to the warehouse will be stocked to this new warehouse (set Track in Inventory toggle to Yes as part of your Order Type settings)
• When you are ready to request job site deliveries, create a new order, choose the Job Inventory Warehouse as the supplier, and add items from the Job Inventory Warehouse.
• Orders set to be delivered to the Job Inventory Warehouse will be counted only once in the job cost report (deliveries to the job site won’t be counted).
• You can always move items from the job warehouse to the main warehouse or from the job site back to the job warehouse when needed.

The inventory module lets you track general inventory of materials stored in your warehouse as well as materials stored in a warehouse for a specific job. You can see what's in the general stock, what's stored for specific jobs, and all the scheduled inflows and outflows.

Field teams can check inventory from their phones before making trips back to the warehouse. When placing orders, the system can show what's available in stock versus what needs to be ordered from vendors.

When you set up job warehouses, field staff can check what has been delivered to the warehouse for a specific job. This is important for projects where there is not enough space to store materials at the job site and the majority of materials are shipped to the warehouse. When the field crews are ready to receive the materials at the job, they request job-specific inventory via the mobile app and handle such requests as regular orders (tracking received items, etc.).

Here is the full list of inventory management functionality:

• Easy set up of warehouses with associated inventory via a simple file upload
• Transfer inventory between warehouses
• Transfer leftover inventory from a specific job to the warehouse
• Place inventory restocking orders for the warehouse
• Monitor scheduled inventory inflows and outflows

Over time, the system builds a comprehensive picture of how each vendor performs. You can see which vendors have more delivery issues. You can also see which vendors have the most invoice issues.

The reporting also helps you have fact-based conversations with vendors about performance issues instead of relying on subjective impressions or isolated incidents.

No, and this is really important because the last thing you want is to complicate your vendor relationships. Vendors don't need accounts, passwords, or special training. They send quotes and invoices the same way they always have - by email.

When there are issues with deliveries or invoices, the system emails vendors a secure link to respond, but they don't need to log in. They can upload corrected documents or respond to questions through the link.

The goal is to make your internal processes more efficient without creating extra work for the vendors you depend on.

Emergencies happen in construction, and we've built the system to handle them.

Field staff can use the mobile app to reserve a PO number without specifying the details. Field Materials will reserve the PO # in the ERP.

Field staff then gives the PO# to the vendor. When foremen or superintendents pick up such orders at the supplier location, they just need to take a photo of the packing slips. AI will read the slip to itemize the PO for review at the office.

In addition, field teams can also go to retail stores and buy something directly with a company card or personal card. In such cases, they just upload a receipt via the mobile app and are prompted to provide the job number for the expense and an optional cost code along with notes.

Even for emergency purchases, you still get the digital trail and proper job costs assigned, so nothing falls through the cracks from an accounting perspective.

This is completely configurable based on how you want to run your business. For each user, you can configure whether they can see prices or not. Some companies want their field teams to be cost-conscious, so they show pricing and budget information. Others prefer that field teams focus on getting the right materials without worrying about costs.

You can set it up either way. Field teams might see that certain materials are pre-approved at specific pricing, or they might just see quantities and descriptions. Project managers always have access to full cost information and can see budget impacts in real-time.

Yes, Field Materials lets users easily record and report delivery issues for PO items either on the desktop or mobile app:

• User can choose from predefined issue types: damaged, more than ordered, wrong quantity, or other
• User can optionally upload photos to visually document the issue
• Vendor will be automatically notified of the reported issue and asked to resolve it (i.e., issue a refund, deliver missing or damaged items)
• User can use a filter to easily identify orders with delivery issues to monitor their resolution

The system generates a detailed email to the vendor. This creates a paper trail and gets the vendor working on a solution immediately. The system also alerts the project manager and office team so they know there's an issue that might affect the schedule.

It's much better than the old way where field teams would call or text about problems, and sometimes those messages would get lost or forgotten.

Field Materials offers both an iOS and Android app (available in English and Spanish) that allows users to:

• See the jobs they’ve been assigned to
• Submit field requisitions for these jobs to be approved by the designated office staff
• Order items from pre-approved buyouts
• See all orders on their jobs
• Receive orders on site by taking snapshots of packing slips and capturing any delivery issues
• Reserve a PO number to provide to vendors in case of Will Call orders. When the slip is uploaded for such POs, AI will read the slip to itemize the PO for review at the office. This way, when the invoice is sent, you can easily verify what was purchased (cost code can be optionally provided by field staff when reserving a PO).
• See inventory availability in the company warehouse (if activated)

The app works offline too, which is important on job sites with poor cell coverage. Everything syncs up when they get back online.

Yes as long as the administrator enabled field roles to create orders.

• Use a mobile app or a tablet to submit field requisitions using the list of items from:
  
  • A pre-approved buyout
  • Bill of materials
  • Database of items from all previous orders
  • Hand-filled paper forms (scanning accuracy is subject to handwriting legibility)
• Filter items by keywords, groups or cost codes to help quickly narrow down the list of items in a large buyout or bill of materials.
• Reserve a PO for Will call orders. Provide the PO# to the vendor and take a photo of the packing slip. AI will read the slip to itemize the PO for review at the office.

Field Materials can easily support editing orders that were previously submitted to vendors:

• When editing orders, users can:
  
  • Add new items to the order or eliminate previously ordered items
  • Change ordered quantities, units of measure, cost codes
  • Change the order delivery date and destination
  • Assign delivery dates to specific items to be different from the main order delivery date
• The vendor will receive an email clearly outlining all changes that the user made to a previously submitted order.
• Any changes the user makes to the order in Field Materials will be recorded in the ERP as a change order (supported in most ERPs but not all).

There are several easy ways that Field Materials supports ordering new items that are not yet present in the item database:

• The user can simply type the custom item description when creating an order. Field Materials will automatically search for the description in the item database and in case it doesn’t find a match, it will treat it as a new item.
• When the user creates an order from a vendor quote that contains new items, Field Materials will display a “New” label next to the scanned item description.
• New items will be automatically added to the item database once the order has been created. If there is an order approval enabled, then the approver can override the custom description if it matches an existing item, which will help avoid duplicates with different descriptions.

We have a dedicated prefab module for this use case. Prefab components (e.g., spools in mechanical trade) are set up at the project level where each component has a dedicated bill of materials. When a PM or field staff need specific prefab components, they request them via the mobile app by selecting specific components set up at the project level. Prefab manager reviews and confirms such orders. Once confirmed, purchasing teams use the bill of materials for the components set up at the project level to order materials from vendors.

Prefab orders have special statuses that make it easy to track their current state:

• Materials requested
• Materials Received
• In Production
• In QA
• Ready for Shipment
• Ship Now
• Scheduled for delivery

As a prefab order goes through these stages, field teams can check on the status without the need to call the office or prefab shop. Whenever the order is fabricated and is ready for shipment, field staff can request their shipment to the job site by setting the status to “Ship now”.

Actual delivery of the prefab order is confirmed via the mobile app with an optional packing slip that could be attached.

Yes, in addition to the invoices posted against POs and direct job cost invoices, we support:

• Overhead invoices posted directly against GL accounts (we support this a special overhead job and cost codes mapped to GL accounts)
• Receipts for corporate card expenses posted as AP payment records (supported for some ERPs)
• Receipts from personal cards posted as AP entries to be paid to employees

To make coding of such expenses very efficient, we built in several automation shortcuts:

• Assignment of vendors to the default cost code and GL account
• GL account routing based on the Order Type
• Assignment of Default project for overhead invoices and expenses

Our system supports posting invoices as a direct job cost. Here is how you handle such invoices:

• You create a new order record from the invoice content
• AI reads invoice issue date, due date, subtotal, tax, etc. and assign it to the new order
• AI will usually auto-select the job and the vendor for the invoice and even assign default cost code (based on the vendor setup or historical invoices). You can correct it if you need to.
• If you want to itemize the invoice and assign parts of it to different cost codes, you can easily have AI itemize the invoice and split it across several cost codes.
• Or alternatively, assign the invoice or individual line items to specific overhead GL accounts.

Field Materials AI automatically downloads email attachments from the invoice email inbox. It reads each PDF or image file and automatically separates the file into individual invoices.

Any role designated to approve invoices can:

• Review invoices that were automatically matched to POs
  
  • AI automatically identifies and highlights issues (e.g., invoice prices not matching quoted prices, invoicing backordered items)
  • Users can kickback an invoice with issues to the vendor or internal team members
  • Users can easily reference other corresponding invoices and packing slips for the given PO all in one screen
• Review invoices that were not matched to POs
  
  • Use AI to scan the invoice to create a new order record
  • Easily job-code and cost-code the new order record
  • Or alternatively assign it to a specific overhead GL expense account

We provide first-class support for rental POs. Customers usually create a separate line item for each equipment piece (e.g., scissor lift) in their POs. The price for each line item could be a lump sum dollar value or it could be a unit price tied to UOM like “days”, “weeks” or “months”. To indicate the end period for each line item, you can either use the end date on each line item or use time UOMs to indicate the duration (duration will be applied to the PO start date). Our system will notify you via email about the expiring rental when you reach either the item’s end date or the duration period after the start date (if you used time-based UOMs).  

Additionally, you can run reports based on items’ end dates to see which POs have expiring rentals.

A buyout is an approximate volume of material you are committing to buy from a supplier at a specific price.

• Use a supplier quote to create a buyout.
• Place orders from the buyout with pre-defined prices and individual delivery dates.
• See at the line item level how much you ordered and received so far against the buyout quantity.
• Empower your field team to order from a pre-approved buyout and vendor to help control costs.
• Use tags and / or zones to assign orders to job areas or phase (e.g., floor 1, Zone A)

Yes, the system handles all types of procurement. For materials, you get the full workflow from RFQs and quotes to delivery slips and invoices. For equipment rentals, you can process rental agreements with automatic alerts before rental periods expire - no more surprise charges because someone forgot to return equipment. For services and subcontracts, you can track work orders.

The system is flexible enough to handle whatever types of procurement your business requires, from bulk materials to specialized equipment to subcontractor services.

Field Materials offers a highly customizable, enterprise-grade access control to data and actions users can take:

• Assign specific roles to users (project manager, foreman, accountant, etc.)
• Assign users to projects to control their access to specific jobs (accountant, admin, purchasers have access to all jobs).
• Based on the assigned roles, control what users can do within each job:
  
  • Edit orders
  • Upload delivery slips and receive orders
  • Review invoices
  • See prices

The approval system is really flexible because every company operates differently. You can set up different approval levels based on dollar amounts and job roles.

Orders

• Enable up to 3 role-based approvers (Owner, PM, Purchaser, etc.) before orders are submitted to vendors and exported to the ERP.
• Set up optional Order Amount Thresholds (e.g., >$1,000 requires PM approval, >$10,000 requires owner approval) before orders are submitted to vendors and exported into the ERP.

Invoices

• Enable role-based approvers (Owner, Accountant, PM, etc.) to control who can approve invoices before these are posted to the ERP.
• Set up optional invoice amount thresholds that will notify the designated roles to approve invoices.
• Set up optional maximum invoice amounts that the designated roles will be able to approve.

For both orders and invoices:

• Approvers receive real-time notifications (email, text, and in-app) about the need to approve a specific order or invoice.
• Field Materials keeps an audit trail of who requested orders and who approved orders and invoices.

Customers can update their approval settings at any time should their internal requirements change.

Yes, our multi-modal LLMs can process a wide range of vendor document formats without manual training (e.g., tabular, word documents, semi-structured). We custom-trained our Large Language Model on a variety of formats. The system automatically determines the best format for the document and applies the right model to it.

If you find a particular format that our AI technology does not handle, please contact your CSM and bring this to their attention. We can make sure to include your format in our training data sets.

We designed Field Materials to be an AI co-pilot that keeps the human in the loop. When the AI is uncertain about something, it highlights it for your review. You might see a line item flagged because the AI couldn't confidently read the description or pricing.

You can quickly correct anything the AI missed, and those corrections help train Field Materials AI for the next time. Even if there are some documents that are not read correctly, customers typically see about 90% reduction in manual data entry. The AI catches the vast majority of discrepancies that could cost you money.

Field Materials AI uses computer vision in addition to OCR to understand visual document layout and extract text within the layout. Then the visual layout together with the extracted text is fed into a Large Language Model trained on tens of thousands of construction vendor documents to do inference.

LLM infers the vendor and extracts all the line items with descriptions and pricing. It also reads notes, understands units of measurement and conversions, and even infers cost codes wherever appropriate.

Field Materials AI is over 90% accurate. 100% accuracy is highly improbable considering that some documents can have information that would be hard to interpret even for humans. But most customers see a 90%+ reduction in manual data entry. The AI gets smarter over time too, learning from your corrections and getting better at reading your specific vendors' formats.

For invoices and delivery slips, the AI compares received and invoiced quantities against the original purchased quantities. It will flag if you receive more than requested, or price is higher than originally quoted, or you’re getting invoiced for items you haven’t received, or the invoice includes items that weren't on the original PO. Field Materials AI will help you identify the backordered items and items that are getting double billed. That's where a lot of the cost savings come from.

Flexible customization options are supported:

• We support writing custom PO names and descriptions into your ERP (e.g., “job number”-“PO number”-“notes”)
• We support custom PO numbering schemes
• We support writing custom invoice descriptions (e.g., “job number”-“PO number”-“invoice number”)
• In some ERPs (e.g., Viewpoint Vista), we can even read and write custom fields
• We support default PO formats: lump sump vs detailed (order in Field Materials can stay itemized but pushed as a lump sum PO into your ERP)
• We support both master (organization-level) phase/cost codes as well as project-specific phase/cost codes
• We support customized sales tax treatment (e.g., sales tax could be written as a separate line item posted against a specific cost code or GL account)
• We support customizing default payment terms for your invoices
• Customize whether invoices should be auto-exported upon approval

Data Field Materials pulls from your ERP:

• Projects (also called “jobs”)
• Vendors (also called “suppliers”)
• Cost codes
• Cost types
• Equipment and service codes
• Tax Codes (by county)
• Job budgets organized by Cost Code and Cost Type (optional)
• Existing POs created in the ERP before the customer started using Field Materials (optional)

Data Field Materials writes to your ERP:

• Purchase orders (POs) (itemized with cost codes and cost types)
• Invoices (can be posted against POs, as direct job costs, or as overhead expenses against GL accounts)
• Receipts (as AP payments or AP entries)

If you're using an ERP we don't currently integrate with, we can build custom integrations as long as your ERP has an API. The integration typically takes a few weeks to develop after you sign a contract with us.

We have built-in integrations with all major construction ERPs: 

• Sage 100 Construction: through an on-premise desktop client
• Sage 300 CRE: through an on-premise desktop client 
• Sage Intacct: through an API
• Viewpoint Vista: through a direct cloud ODBC connection (provisioned via Trimble)
• Viewpoint Spectrum: through a direct cloud ODBC connection (provisioned via Trimble)
• Foundation: through a direct cloud ODBC connection (provisioned via Foundation)
• Procore: via API
• CMiC: via API
• QuickBooks Online: via API
• QuickBooks Desktop: through an on-premise desktop client

The integration is bi-directional, meaning we pull information from your ERP and push information back into it. We pull in your projects, vendors, cost codes, cost types, and budgets so everything's already set up when you start using Field Materials. When you create purchase orders or approve invoices in Field Materials, that information flows back into your ERP with full job and cost coding. Your accounting team doesn't have to do duplicate data entry.

If you're using an ERP we don't currently integrate with, we can build custom integrations as long as your ERP has an API. The integration typically takes a few weeks to develop after you sign a contract with us.

Current integrations include:

• Sage 100 Contractor
• Sage 300CRE
• Sage Intacct
• Viewpoint Vista
• Viewpoint Spectrum
• Foundation
• Procore
• CMiC
• QuickBooks Online
• QuickBooks Desktop

Read our customer success stories across many trades, ERPs, and regions: https://www.fieldmaterials.com/case-studies.

 Field Materials has established itself as the leading AI software provider for the construction industry. 

• Launched in 2022, the company raised $19M in total VC funding with the most recent round raised in April 2025
• Strong advisory board of industry leaders
• A large and rapidly growing customer base across 30 states and 10 construction trades
• Every year since the company founding, we’ve been consistently launching new modules: 2023 – purchase orders and invoices, 2024 – delivery records and receipts, 2025 inventory and prefab.  

The company has been doubling its headcount every year since launch with many active job openings across all functions.

Key differentiators:

• AI-native: Field Materials AI uses custom-trained Large Language Models to read vendor quotes, packing slips, trucking tickets, invoices, and field requisition forms on tens of thousands of construction vendor documents. Our competitors rely on standard OCR to read documents and have no support for delivery, trucking, or concrete tickets. 
• More robust ERP integrations with bi-directional data sync
• Modularity: Field Materials allows you to use each module individually. For example, you can use invoices module while still creating POs in your ERP. Competitors require you to adopt the full suite of functionality which makes transitions much more difficult. By adopting one module at a time, you focus your training on a single function in your company and adoption happens much faster and with less friction.
• More robust support for AP teams: Field Materials AI automates 3-way validation (invoice against ordered and received quantities) at the item-level rather than the invoice header level. Field Materials also supports kickback flows internally within the team and externally with vendors to make it easy to report, track, and resolve issues. ‍
• White-glove customer success driven onboarding vs. basic customer support.

The biggest problems we solve are the ones that probably keep you up at night - cost overruns, communication breakdowns, and time wasted on paperwork or data entry. Here's what we typically see:

Your field teams are ordering materials by calling or texting the office, creating delays and potential miscommunication. Packing slips get lost, so your AP team can't match invoices when they come in weeks later. You find out about budget problems at month-end instead of instantly when it happens. And everyone's spending way too much time on data entry instead of building projects.

We solve this by giving everyone real-time visibility into what's happening. Your project managers can see exactly what's been ordered, received, and invoiced for their jobs. Your field teams can create request materials from the job site. Your accounting team can process invoices quickly because everything's already coded and matched up. And you get alerts when budgets are getting tight, so you can make adjustments before it's too late.

Most construction companies are still doing procurement the same way they did 20 years ago - lots of phone calls, emails, spreadsheets, and manual data entry. You probably have quotes scattered across different people's email inboxes, purchase orders that don't match what actually gets delivered, and invoices that take weeks to process because nobody can find the original paperwork.

Field Materials centralizes everything in one place where your whole team can see it. When a vendor sends you a quote, our AI reads it and extracts all the line items automatically. When you're ready to order, the system creates purchase orders instantly from a quote instead of someone typing everything out by hand. When materials arrive, your field teams can snap a picture of the packing slip with their phone. AI will read received quantities and field crews can report any issues directly to the vendor.

Field Materials is an AI construction procurement software. The 3 main benefits are:

• Eliminate data entry: your team probably spends a lot of time entering vendor quotes or field requisitions as purchase orders, chasing down packing slips, and entering invoices into your accounting system. We automate 90% of that work. The platform connects directly to your ERP system - Viewpoint Vista, Sage, Viewpoint, Foundation, and others - and handles all common procurement workflows like getting quotes or reconciling invoices. 
• Better cost controls: By centralizing and tracking all expenses and verifying all prices against budgets and buyouts, you typically save 5-10% on material costs just by catching mistakes and preventing budget overruns.
• Real-time visibility: Your field teams can request materials from their phones. Your PMs and field crews get a real-time view into what's been ordered and delivered, and your accounting team can process invoices in minutes instead of hours. There are explicit approval processes that you can set up for POs and invoices. Invoices or receipts can be easily kickbacked to PMs or field staff for review and be approved via a mobile phone.
